yup....just have to know where to look. The most recent big fossil that I saw was a large dinosaur footprint at a Wyoming coal mine. I remember the first time I went underground, I was thrilled to see some really beautiful and large petrified trees. And the miners kinda laughed at me when I asked if they saw any other fossils. They said "shine your light on the ceiling"....literally thousands...hundreds of thousands of sea shells in the shale layer above the coal. In West Virginia, the ceilings were a mosaic of soft plant life. I have hundreds of fossils that I have collected over the years. It's not surprising that people don't want to carry those large fossils down from the himalayas...every extra pound takes an amazing amount of energy at altitude.
