	Thought you might enjoy some more ferns. I love the contrast on the St. Claire ferns.

	Thanks for the pics, Dan. If the St. Claire ferns are the white on black ones I agree, love the contrast!

	Nice pics Dan. Looks like you've been doing a lot of work on your rock/fossil collection.

	I have outgrown (or they have) the two cabinets. Going to have to go for a third and some other way to store extras. I have about 10 shoeboxes of display specimens and then the fossils on top of that. Thanks for the compliment. It means alot coming from someone who is out collecting all the time. Dan

	Wow nice finds! I was at Mazon Creek this weekend around Braidwood Lake in pit 11 and only found a few decent ferns. Might I ask where you found those nice ones?

	Here's some info and details about the area I was searching in. It was very overgrown and a tough hike to get to, but seems like its all thats left of the bare hillsides - http://chicagorants.com/chicago-rants/mazon-creek-fossil-hunting-in-braidwood-il/

	I actually bought them as part of a fossil collection. The fossil collection was part of a much larger collection that a friend had purchased. A lot of the fossils were collected back in the sixties.
