My buddy found this;
while he was out quadding. It was found at a pretty high elevation, so I think it is damn old. I'm not sure of the geological timeline for the Coast Range mountains, but for something to go from being at the bottom of a lake, to near the top of a mountain, well, it sure as shit didn't happen last Tuesday. The rock was obviously sedimentary at some point, but has become hard due to time and pressure, I think it's called metamorphic rock when that happens. Cool shit.
Anyone else got some fossils hanging around they would care to share?

Of course they tasted good.
Wow, I had better get this to the right people immediately. I'm sure a tractor museum will pay a pretty penny for something like this! I'm gonna be rich!
To be honest with you I think it would be worth a lot more if you restored it or had it profesionally restored - I am sure parts can be obtained to bring it back to its glory.
I have only ever found small inscects in fossils, but there a lot of fossilised tree trunks in museums from being dug up in coal mines. They just look like dirty lumps of tree, its amazing to think they have turned to rock. Get some good flints with quarts in around here tho.
