Rocks of Nebraska's History

These are pictures of rocks that were found in the state of Nebraska, USA. Based on the configuration of some of the objects, they are fossilized vegetation, most likely from period that much of the earth was covered by the seas. Nebraska was covered with a shallow portion of the water. That period? Somewhere between 2 million and 99 million years ago. Think about it the next time you pick up a rock and toss it into a creek. It is part of your history.
