Correction: I accidentally said my ‘great’ uncle was a professor of Geology. No, he was my uncle(my mother’s brother). My mother always told this story. She was in college, he was down because he had been sick and had wanted to start a coal mining business with my grandfather. My mom suggested that he study geology, she thought he would really “dig it,” (cute- it was the 50’s). So he did. #artifacts #paleoculture #lostculture #rockhounding #geology #megatherium #dmtortie #mammoths #crystals #scrimshaw #blacklight
