Cathy, your Dad and I would get along well then, because I'm a big fan of rocks as well. I even managed to bring a piece of basalt back from Mornington Peninsula, Australia, where it's like heaven for a geology nut like myself.

As an undergrad, I took this awesome grad level course in invertebrate paleontology, and for our field project, we traveled to this former quarry just north of Alpena on 23. It's located on the same road leading to a boat landing and there is an abundance of Devonian fossils which your Dad would love. Things like corals, trilobites, spiriferids.... I went back to get more trilobites, but as I've mentioned previously, I seem to always find the pigidium, or rear end of the trilobite. That's not cool! Is someone trying to send me a message?

Love ya!
Joanna

Oh, I will be regrettably sending Eoghann to you this weekend. I find it so difficult to part with the little fella! He's managed to get my luggage delayed both traveling to and returning from Australia. That cheeky rodent! And he has a pet golden retriever acquired from Australia named Oz. They caused a lot of mischief together, and Oz will be accompanying Eoghann. They are best of friends now...

How cool that Eoghann now has a traveling companion ...
named "Oz" ?! :)
Double the fun ...
and, possibly double the trouble for whomever is their adoptive parent at the time ?! :)
I love it!
