Parker's Science project led a group of us Laughlin's to the farm in Hookstown, PA. 

The top of "the hill" has a limestone deposit that contains some interesting artifacts.

I created a slide show movie of the day with music with Microsoft's Photo Story.  Try the movie and tell me what you think.  You will need Windows Media Player to view the movie.

The destination. Top of the hill has a limestone deposit full of fossils	Hiking the hill	View from the top of the hill	View from the top of the hill	The dig site
Lots of rocks	The initial examination	Look closely...	Cleaning the rock looking for a good fossil	A fossilized shell removed from the limestone
The fossils are all through the stone	The "round" dots are fossils that were broken in half Like the cross section of a bone	Can you see the imprint of the shell?
