    20 years ago I went on a quite expensive north sea fossil trawler adventure the goal of the trawler wasn't to catch fish or prawn but to have an extra strong trawler net dig deep into the sea-bottom soil and scoop up the past because it takes quite a number of personnel to operate this whole shebang the number of paleo tourists was low and the price was high the bonus, however, was that each one of us got to search a scoop on our own and that could be a ton of material once the fishermen dealt with the catch and my top find was a sabertooth cat's sabertooth! that and a part neanderthal jawbone piece most were chunks of mammoth bone and other unidentifiable stuff one guy even had half a roman tombstone in his catch another guy had the top find a wagon wheel size ammonite fossil!
    a trip like this was a 1000 dollars or so for 5 days with 5 people getting multiple turns at the nets content not cheap but a good find like the wagon wheel ammonite that's a $10.000 find and sabertooth cat teeth you are in the ballpark of 2000 at least and a part of a neanderthal human I simply don't know they are too rare to price.

We mostly find native american and civil war artifacts around here. But there are some rock quarries around here that let groups with permits dig in the quarries for fossils.

Also knowing what type of wood they were on wood (hehe) be helpful. I'm assuming not a conifer though, looks like a hardwood.

    What preserved all these fossils in these areas over so many epochs over such a long time? And, is it continuous? Or do the conditions happen again after long periods of stagnation? Was it lack of destructive microbes or just a weird time when things were constantly being covered up? Why aren’t they everywhere? Are they or aren’t they still being made?
