I can't guarantee that everyone will have a fossil, but I'm pretty sure u will find at least 1. I live near Chicago IL and got rocks as décor around my house and I found like 6 in an hour!

Any ideas of where to look... and do you have any of the ones you found I could see? My name is Ray and my e-mail is rayfa42@yahoo.com.

I found a lot when the subdivision I lived in was being constructed. Every time a basement was dug up, I would find all kinds of rocks with fossils in them. I don't know what area you live in, but if you can find a place along side a road where they dug into a hill, thats a good place to look (with the aid of your parents to drive you). Any cliffs in the area also usually have interesting rocks.<br /><br />Have you seen the movie Avatar? If so, remember the corkscrew like plants that when Jake touch them, they would suck into the ground? Those look almost exactly like the Archimedes plant from our past. I wonder if the special effects people used the Archimedes as a guide for that plant on Pandora. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445946479582895632.post-28602641866588417742011-08-25T11:09:28.102-05:002011-08-25T11:09:28.102-05:00That's amazing that you found so many of those...That's amazing that you found so many of those!

I found tons of those Archimedes fossils all around my house when the subdivision was under construction.<br /><br />I live in Ballwin, MO (Near St. Louis) and the rocks my fossils were in had way more iron content that the above picture (white and red colored).<br /><br />Keep up the great work on the site!Dave Metzenerhttp://www.metzener.com/noreply@blogger.com
