A1 I would get really excited about fossils if they suddenly came to life and started chasing people down the street. #ParkChat

RT @Wild_Tribute: Q1. Fossils. Exciting for some, perhaps drab for others. What should excite everyone about fossils? Why? #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute #parkchat A1 we are fascinated by what used to roam on the places we love. Bears the size of Clydesdales? Oh yeah! Mammoths? Got those too! And all the insects too. Just. Wow!

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute a1 Fossils? We can learn alot from their storied-history - great stuff about the olden days, our records in world wars, why we should have invested in General Mills, how to invite a girl to a sock-hop. Great stuff like that! #parkchat

A1: Being able to see animals that existed thousands and sometimes millions of years ago should excite everybody about seeing fossils. #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A1) Fossils are SO exciting as discoveries, in hopes that we may learn from our past to better prepare and understand what the future could hold for us. #ParkChat

replying to @Parkasaur @Parkasaur A2 Biggest thrill for me was visiting @DinosaurNPS several years ago because I had wanted to go since I was a kid. Most recent was @FlorissantNPS last year. #ParkChat

replying to @BarnetteJason @BarnetteJason #parkchat don't know that excited is what I'd be. More like petrified!

A2) I've only visited a handful of them myself, but of those that I have, @PetrifiedNPS is certainly one of the most photogenic! #ParkChat

A2: Sadly, I haven't visited any #NPS sites related to fossils. Most are in the Western U.S., and I haven't gotten to explore much of that part of the country yet. #ParkChat
