Look high look low

If my husband and I aren't looking down at rocks, searching for fossils, gem stones, petrified wood, then we are looking up. Enjoying our second hobby, star gazing. We sit out in our yard many nights, watching for satellites and meteors. Have seen some amazing showers. Have seen the space station on a number of occasions and even saw a rare night landing approach of the space station. We unfortunately also live in the path of when the space shuttle crashed. There is an elementary school in front of our home where they actually retrieved a piece from the shuttle. We had a pot belly pig that got very ill shortly after that crash and died. But I digress. We have a night vision scope that allows us to see much more than you can with the human eye and it is phenomenal!

As for our other passion, fossils, our favorite place so far to search is the North Sulfur River, we have found jaw bones, vertebrae and teeth of the mosasaur. We have found fish vertebrae, sharks teeth, pieces of what appear to be mammoth tusk. Other fish jaw bones and other unidentified bones. Lots of shells and bacculite and piece of ammonites. Also pyrite sundials.Very pretty. We have been to several places in New Mexico searching for various gem stones. And to Missouri where we have found hounds tooth calcite. We've covered quite of bit of ground in Texas, parts of Oklahoma, Tennessee, Arkansas, New Mexico and Missouri, lots more country out there to explore. Anyone have any good suggestions let me know.
