Double sad day+fossil

Sitting at pool 2
Jeremy is selling the nitro.

I’m sad and bitter that this boy is buying this boat that I have came to love and adore. My first Muskie follow my first flathead. Many fun memories. I didn’t think I’d take it like this. But I wanna take the kid out at the knees. he won’t be as nice to it as I was.

Double sad because as I watched him test drive the boat I fished in the rain for a couple of hours. And still no bites.

On a lighter note. Does anyone know about fossils?

Found this one on south shore. What is it?
And would you hire me with this tattoo?

So SOMEONE needs a new boat. Not mentioning any names but his initials are JEREMY LIEBIG.

Sorry for your loss, your story reminds me of when I had to sell my 2000 camaro z28 6spd because the kids were getting too big I even named her Camarette
Time will heal..hopefully.

I thought happiest day in a guys life is when he buys a boat.. ..and next happiest day is when he sells it

Just curious, what does the rest of that tattoo look like?

Don’t be sad it’s gone, be happy you caught (at least) two memorable fish out of it.

That fossil might be Biff, a very rare and old rock. One of the oldest rocks on Earth. Could be worth millions of $$.

Perhaps Biff can fund the purchase of my new boat.

So cute. Weird how we get a mini emotional attached to these things. I’m more optimistic now.
May be a side effect of being an instant billionaire. Boats for everyone!
Tattoo is just that. A fish hook. -figured ill never be a hand model so why not.

x2 that’s a sweet tat!

I wonder if they could make a scratch and sniff tattoo of stink bait for Briank?

That is a fossil of a columular coral (Phylum – colenterata) Ancient analog of modern day corals. (Maybe a halycites or favocites) Very common in the midwest. There are many species but that one looks like it has been rolling around in a river bed for some time. Similar to the smoothing of a river rock. Typically they do not look like that went dug out to the rock.

Sorry about the boat. I feel ya.

And yes Briank, I am actually a geologist.

You are a geologist ???!!! Wow. I found it on the south shore Lake Superior. I thought it was coral. Found it in the mouth of the brule. It was in the water when I found it. Does that information give more of a probable specie id?

I just got back in town. Where you found it makes sense given the rounded conditions of the fossil. I would say it came from way way way upstream somewhere from a limestone outcrop, given how rounded the rock is. Would be a little difficult to break down the exact species given the wear on it. Some of the characteristics that would help ID it are gone. But it is a cool find. Sometimes I find myself looking at road cuts for fossils if I am near one. I can almost always find fossils in limestone road gravel too if you know what to look for.

Here is a link that will help you learn more if you are interested. Kinda geo nerdy stuff though. There is a lot of info out there on fossils in Minnesota. Even locations/areas of where to find the good picking.

Look at pages 7 thru 9 there are drawing of what that fossil could be.
