Howard rocks for sale on ebay.

Why that would be Geekspeak.

I just emailed the owner of these rocks to ask specifically where in Elk County they were found. I bet I get a response of either I don't know, or what does it matter.

We should be able to play with this guy for a few days.

Currently it is worth $1.59 plus $2.50 in shipping and handling fees.

My sister Marty, who used to work out at Twilight Manor, is a real rock hound and she would go nuts for these. Of course all we need to do is look down when walking on a dirt road in Elk County and we will probably find several of these.

Who knew they had such a cool scientific name?

I'm not familiar with that language either.  Or maybe I should say, I just cannot learn a language other than American, not even shorthand.

Still no response to where in Elk County they were found. I wonder how he really knows they are from Elk County?

[Teresa]

Maybe he wasn't planning on someone actually FROM Elk County asking..
and maybe they actually AREN'T from Elk County
And maybe they don't even have any little frog footprints in them either!
Gasp!

If all this is the case~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Then it's  time for some Elk County ass-whuppin'

[Wilma]

If these sell for a good amount of money, let me know.  I have some bigger ones out here that I know are from Elk county.

I got the answer - this guy was surfing and come upon the Elk County Forum, read it awhile and thot to himself  now there's some fine, friendly folks and I've got these dumb rocks, but maybe I could say they were from Elk County and that would make them very special rocks and worth a whole lot more and . . . . . .

However; we may be loony, but we are not like a bunch of dumb rocks.

The shipping cost from Massachusetts must be a Lulu.

If he sells them, I may just tote a bunch of Howard rocks home on my next trip.

     The picture of the fossils is not that good, but they look like the ones we have out in the pasture.   They come out of gray shale, though, and not from a hard limestone.   I used to pick them up by the can full.   
     We found a bus load of people who said they were from the Smithsonian picking rocks up on the hill one day.   They said the rocks were unique to this area and they were going to put them in their collection.   They were more after those yellow tinted ones that are full of fossils.

I thought we established that we were nice people here.         

Oops - nope - we're nuts !
