Did you Celebrate the 1st Annual National Fossil Day?

Today was the first National Fossil Day. A partnership between the National Park Service and over 130 other institutions and groups across the United States to spread awareness about fossil resources and their study and protection.

I spent the day guiding visitors at Petrified Forest National Park through our fossil preparation lab and conducted a tour out to a well known fossil locality known as the Dying Grounds.

You can read more about this at the following link.  Check out the Official National Fossil Day song and video. Some of the people in the video look somewhat familiar.....
