replying to @Parkasaur @Parkasaur A4 Absolutely. That is why we planned a visit to @FlorissantNPS last year. Will go back too. #ParkChat

replying to @Parkasaur @Parkasaur A4 #parkchat oh yes! We sometimes plan the route there to specifically include a fossil site! 😁 This summer we went to Texas via @FlorissantNPS! Haha.

A4 That’s how we have visited all of the fossil-related sites we have been to! #ParkChat

replying to @Parkasaur @Parkasaur A4) Alas, I've actually had this happen, and unfortunately, I had to bypass the Petrified Forest on one of my trips west. The next time though, I'll know better! #ParkChat

replying to @Parkasaur @Parkasaur Embarrassed how many times we’ve been within 20 miles of fossil Butte national Monument and have never seemed to make the time. Shame. #ParkChat

replying to @e_terren @e_terren @Parkasaur @AgateFossilBeds @DinosaurNPS @BadlandsNPS @FlorissantNPS Lots of folks breeze through it. They miss so much! We live 1.5 hrs away so get out there a couple times a year. And still have many spots to explore. Have found fossils every time! #parkchat

replying to @Parkasaur @Parkasaur A4) Yes! The older I get the easier it is for me to step away from my super-planner tendencies and make pit stops after seeing random brown signs. #ParkChat

replying to @Parkasaur @Parkasaur A4) Yes, of course, fossils rock! I guess it would depend on time and budget and if I had kids and/or pets with me though. #ParkChat

A4: I ALWAYS make a detour for #NPS sites, especially if I haven't visited that site before. So fossils or otherwise I'm making that stop. #ParkChat

@Parkasaur @Wild_Tribute A3. I collected the only fossils I had access to--Indian beads. I found them in the creek on our farm and in nearby creeks. Now I know they are fossilized stem segments of an ancient plant.

(5) Geologic time is vast – as fossils are tens and even hundreds of millions of years old! How do you explain the vastness of geologic time to a child? #ParkChat
