[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 308573, member: 3162"] I've put some dino tracks on display and I have donated some to paleantologists. I see ones just like mine on ebay at times. I have loaned them to schools and such, but yet have to sell one for someone's backyard vanity. When you quarry limestone, you get into that type stuff. When I find something insitu, I call a paleantologist friend who documents and maps everything. I leave them be too when possible. I know of some spots around here that are rich in Native American artifacts. Got a place near where there are shard pieces all over the ground. It was an obvious camp site and locale where points were made. The shard pieces are the remnants chipped off. This locale is on a higher ridge with no flint in the proximity. A few years back they were building a fast food restaurant in Granbury. It was on the upper plain of the Brazos. A kid had a shaking sifter frame with hardware cloth used to sift through dirt. The newspaper write up on it had him finding over 200 arrowheads with that sifter, just on that fast food building site. The actual site is about 5 miles north-east of Comanche Peak, an ancient migration reference point used by Native Americans. The cedar posts from cedar growing on that peak made excellent TeePee poles. Natives would cut them each year and pick up fresh cured ones from the previous year. [/QUOTE]
