The first of our legendary fossilhunts took place in northern France, in 1999. Mr. and I already had some fossil shark teeth, some amber and some small shell-print -on found also lovely- but we found that we only have a really had to find fossil. And so we actually meant: hostess milk frother an ammonite, such spiral shell. We had only seen in museums.
That it happened in October we did not really matter. hostess milk frother Reserve a hotel seemed like just another hassle, and we wanted to keep all rather low budget, so we took the tent. After a few hours we were in Calais where we sought out a campsite. The camp boss had to laugh heartily that we so late in the season came to camp with him. That went past us, because we only stared hostess milk frother at the large ammonite stood above his head on a platter. It was not so hot, but for the tent drinking coffee with your hat turned almost better than no hat. We soon realized that the French absolument not want there with hammers and chisels in the cliffs hostess milk frother would be chopped. Would in no time half France crumble and disappear into the sea. It seemed not such a bad thing, but the chop was not really necessary. The dried clay lay in layers together, you could always just pick up a new layer and see if there was under something beautiful. That day our fossil find career really began. We found ammonites in the clay.
that ammonites are about 100 million years old. in the Netherlands, they would probably be able to sit somewhere in the ground, but rather by cliffs that kind of 'layers' reach. and unfortunately we have no cliffs here. but Calais is nearby! even from Groningen only 5 hours away.
