Over at Late Pennsylvanian Fossils In Kansas I've uploaded my latest paleontology-related site--A page dedicated to the classic upper Pennsylvanian--stratigraphically equivalent to the European Upper Carboniferous--fossil wealth of Kansas; one of the great places on the planet to find and study paleontologic specimens some 307 to 299 million years old.

That's really cool. It's just dumbfounding to me to ponder that span of time. The Earth was a very different place then, but I would guess there was more that was the same than different. Blue skies, clouds, sunrise, sunset, etc. Crazy that you can find that in Kansas. Thanks for sharing! I'll have to bring my family down some time to do some hunting.

What a brilliant page. Your finds are unbelievable!! Thanks - I appreciate the time it must have taken to put the page together.
It has put me in mind to sort out some of the Carboniferous limestone fossils I've found over time. There were a few that looked familiar on your page.

Our Pennsylvania layer is 300-400 myo. Somewhat the same types of things, along with crinoids and sharks' teeth. Great fun just looking through there, isn't it? Sometimes I can find slabs of the ocean floor with poor critters fossilized en masse. These are great display pieces.
