Albuquerque boy makes serious hobby of fossils
Ten year old Kyle Johnston of Albuquerque, a sixth grader at Si Vi Elementary, has built a 350 fossil collection since age five. He studies earth history, fossils, and ancient animals, mainly found around Lindrith mesas in 1982. His finds include a rare gastropod shell, a jaw fragment from Eohippus, Permian teeth from a pelycosaur and Eryops, Crinoid stems, Brontosaurus knee bones, and a Jurassic egg. identification is tough due to fragmentary specimens and shifting mesa strata.
