Have you ever encountered a transgender hiker in the wild?

Southwest chads... we win

The purpose of this general is to encourage people to go /out/ and find cool fossils and artifacts. This thread is also a place to share our own collections and things we find when we are /out/ hunting.

Rules are as follows,
>To just post and discuss fossils and other related geological subjects.
>When you post about a fossil in your collection, please label it with what formation it is from, what it is, and where in the world it is from.
>If you don't know where it originated or the species that is ok, just label it as so
>You can post rocks and minerals as long a they are ones that you have found while /out/

For a thread starter I'll post on of the last nice ammonites I found up in Dallas before I moved. Placenticeras sp. Eagle Ford Group Britton Fm. Denton Co. Texas

Have you ever taken a gril /out/?

I was once out hiking in the winter, wanted to make a shortcut to a road and stepped on the edge of a swamp that hadn't properly frozen but was covered in a deep layer of snow.
If I had taken a step too far or in a different place I probably would have drowned as I can't swim

So, I have a tiny garden and my house isn't too big either. Nevertheless I have become enamored with the idea of raising some animals for meat and possibly eggs.

Anyone raise any small meat animals? I'm thinking quail, which kinda seems like the obvious choice. Part of the appeal of raising livestock is that I can make sure they get treated somewhat humanely, so I don't want the animals to live in overcrowded uncomfortable cages like pic related. I think I can find adequate space for quail. Since I'm a noob I would prefer hardy animals that don't need me constantly hovering them like a phone tracking millennial mom.

Thoughts?
