16,000 Year Old Meadowcroft and Indian Village Reopened

Good news since this site is only 70 miles away. On a weird note - checking the log on this site. I had a hit from Islamabad, Pakistan. Strange - the search term they used was 'niche in wall'. Just hope Homeland Security doesn't come knocking on my door.

Two Fossils - Use in Rock on Rock Structure

I have been looking at this possible rock on rock structure for years. You can't miss it, since it's just off to the left of a very old Indian Trail that dates back to at least the 1770's. Click here for more on the back history of the trail.

This next picture I've circled the rocks  that has what looks like fossils of a tree branches on them.

First off - white is rarely used around here. Either they didn't use it or the supply of white stone is low. I see more red than anything else. Here is another angle with the white stone in the foreground.

This is the second fossil rock circle in blue. Looks like more fossil wood.

Tree fossilsw  would make sense, since all we ever find fossil hunting around here is ferns and leaves.

Second of Two Walls

One of Two Walls

I posted the first wall serpent like wall last week. This is the second. The story I was told was that from the early 1900's up until the 1950's, they kept hogs in the area between the two walls.
