Mineral Day Part II

David took the boys out into the boonies again for Mineral Day Part II.  This trip was looking for trilobites at a U-Dig site outside of Delta.  The boys went prepared with lots of tools.



Hold on tight!



David said there was a couple running the trilobite shack, they gave a really great demo to the boys when they first arrived, explaining what trilobites are and how to find them.  They also had a saw to cut the rocks for display.








Shining/buffing/checking out all the coolness the next day.  They found so many cool things, the couple were shocked!  Lots of trilobites, different varieties of trilobites, algae, etc.  The boys mostly love racing with the smaller pieces because they "look like boats", although they've made their rocket ship/spaceship flying noises, too.
