Around here in South Carolina we call this pan fish a shell cracker as they will eat fresh water clams up to a quarter inch or so across. Five gallon bucket lid for size. Other pan fish were harmed in the process of getting this one for the photo. Fish caught at Santee State Park. Rick B

... forgot to mention that I found a few fossils during our camping trip. This area is famous for it's limestone sinkholes and outcrops around the lake. Here are some fossil clams, oysters and limpets. Fixed hamburgers for lunch one afternoon. Note the photo with the two large and one small cheeseburger in it. Bottom left corner is Maggie (Cocker Spaniel) drooling for her little cheeseburger and our bigger burgers. Rick B Clams, oysters and limpets Limpets Burgers

Maggie's not the only one getting hungry - and I still have a couple of hours to dinner!

Instead of fish 'n chips, it is fish 'n fossils.

We used to catch those fish here, were rarely over 5" long, but abundant in the creek behind the house. Too small and bony to eat, we froze them in the fall and put one under each tomato plant and corn hill in the spring. When the plant roots hit the fish they turned really green and growth was near a slow explosion.
