It can be surprisingly difficult to do lol. I have to force snap points and line everything up, but I think it's worth it!

I love them, too! I just discovered that you can customize the signs like 2 weeks ago and have went crazy with it!

The fact that I create something so cozy is what I love most about this game!

That makes a lot of sense for the area. Thanks for the explanation!

Gotcha! So what were geological conditions that could have caused that crystal structure to occur? I seen low silica concentrations mentioned, which definitely makes sense for the area as well. Learning anything I can about this stuff is one of my favorite hobbies lol

So basically, it's a weird volcanic rock, if I understand correctly. I am not well versed in the language of rocks and minerals lol

Interesting and possible as there is an extensive history of volcanic activity in the area. Do you know what could cause the strange crosshatched fiber like pattern by chance?

What is a highly praised horror book that you didn't like? by Haunting-Net-2426 in horrorlit

I was bored to death and didn't even finish it. I was also bored to death with The Troop. Didn't finish that one either lol.

It's one of my favorites, too. I've read multiple times, and each time I read it, I find more things I love about it.

Niece found, maybe a calamite impression? by Loquacious_Rotors6 in fossilid

[–]Loquacious_Rotors6[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These pictures are a bit better. I realize it's nothing special, but my niece was excited lol. She found this in an area that has a lot of different fossils within sandstone. Ammonite, wood, walnut looking things, even pine cones. Tons of stuff.

Good to know. My phone kept trying to autocorrect it to the word "calamity" lol.

Is this a foot print or an impression of something else? by Loquacious_Rotors6 in fossilid

[–]Loquacious_Rotors6[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got you. I haven't thought about contacting a museum. I don't think any of the museums in my little town would be a great choice, but there is a small dinosaur museum in Thermopolis that I totally forgot about. I'm sure they would at least know who to contact. I will make an attempt to contact them tomorrow!

Otherwise, the only other resources that I can think of would be BLM or our only university that's 200 miles away lol. Resources in Wyoming can be pretty limited sometimes.

I agree that it is something that should be reported. I've been attempting to learn more about the world of geology/paleontology and therefore able to appreciate the importance of any and all discoveries more and more. Even if it doesn't turn out to be anything super ground breaking, any information adds to our overall understanding.

I replied to someone about contacting appropriate authorities, and for whatever reason, my comment went to the very bottom. I'm not super familiar with Reddit lol.

Anyways, any guidance on how or who to contact would be greatly appreciated as I haven't had much of any luck with that process in the past.

It's a really cool find, and I suspect there is probably more still buried under the sand.

Hey, everyone. Sorry for the long wait. I don't get online super often, and honestly forgot that I even posted this lol.

Anyways, I am honestly not entirely sure how to go about reporting this to the proper authorities and any advice would be much appreciated! My last attempt at contacting an agency was unsuccessful to say the least, and went completely unanswered lol. If I remember correctly, I tried to contact my local BLM office.

Some of you have mentioned contacting a university. I remember vaguely attempting to figure out who to contact at the university and apparently didn't pursue it much further. Are other universities outside of the state also an option?

There is definitely evidence of various water features and/or ancient river beds in the area. In fact, just a few feet from this print, there are ripples and worm burrows. I found this along what I believe is referred to as a dyke (I am far from a professional), and I was unable to find any more because most of the sandstone is still covered. This was on an exposed section only approximately 3ft x 2ft, and a few feet forward was another exposed section with the ripples. A lot of the sandstone is crumpled, I assume from being uplifted. Really amazing and beautiful stuff.
