I live up in Michigan and found these on my backyard while prepping the dirt/sand for grass seed. I read online in a PDF of a brochure made in the 70s of gem fossil and gold prospecting saying michigan does have coral fossils. I don't know I am very new to this and after finding this stuff I think may have found a new hobby.

I would like to saw those. Likely coral. Welcome to the forum and more importantly welcome to the hobby. My favorite is coral down here in Georgia and Florida. A cool fossil.
Petosky stone is up that way. I have seen other coral from up there. The Great Lakes is a great place to collect...

Aggrieved conceit, repressed envy—perhaps the conceit and envy of your fathers—erupt from you as a flame and as the frenzy of revenge.” —Friedrich Nietzsche

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
