looks like success.
Mr. jack rabbit is in the "ready set go" position, love that...

Can you tell us more about your two "rocks" that you collected. Looks like there are some sort of fossils formed on them?

The spiral one in the rock is a ammonite. The one with spikes Im not sure.
Should have a answer for you in a couple of weeks

Great pics all around. I was wondering what type of rocks those were. If you get a chance, post a pic once they are cleaned off.

This is from Neil Landman curator of the American Museum Of Natural History in New York

The ammonite is part of the group known as Acanthocerataceae. More specifically, it may belong to the genus Dunveganoceras. They are mostly identified by the big spines. The are known from Wyoming and occur in the Cenomanian of the Upper Cretaceous. They probably favored shallow water in the ancient Western Interior Seaway.
