[Rockhounds] Fossil Cycad National Monument held America’s richest deposit of petrified cycadeoid plants, until it didn’t.

[Tim Fisher]

That's pretty cool. I was put off by the threatening vibe of the place, but as a fossil hound I realized the thinking behind it. But my kids (then around 8 and 6) of course had to put something in their pockets. When we got back to the freeway they were showing them off to each other. I saw it and asked what did I tell you before we got out of the car? Their answer was dad you were saying mean stuff. Which now that I think about pretty much put the rocks in their pockets. They wanted to take them back but I said the rangers would get mad lol.

The story of a similar problem at Petrified Forest had a happier ending.
