Q1. When did you first become interested in Paleontology/Geology?

A. In 4th or 5th grade. I lived in Buffalo, New York around two miles of Sharp Quarry Creek and would visit the quarry after school, weekends, and when I had free time. I noticed shapes that looked like clams and collected them and have been interested in fossils since then. I also  found a slab of 4 trilobites in the Wianaka shale in New York.
