These fossils were collected from an Alaskan, BC trip we made in 1990.
I was going through our storage cubbard ,for trip info and found a bag containing several fossils.
I had forgotten about them for many years.
We had stopped in Smithers BC on our way south on the Yellowhead Hwy to spend the night.One of the things to do was visit Driftwood Canyon PP.
It's about a 6 mile east of town.
While there we walked to the "fossil cliff".
The girls and myself had a great time searching the cliff talus slope for rocks containing fossils.
We found several nice fish ones,about the size of a minnow and some plant leaves (dawn Redwood).
I think we gave away the fish ones to friends grand kids who were studding fossils.
I just now researched the park and about 5 years ago they stopped the fossil collecting.When we were there you could keep the smaller ones and it you found a large or important one it was requested to turn them in.
If anyone drives through that area it is a nice stop.
