Fossils and Geo -caches




April 11
We went fossiling for a couple of hours at Split Rock.  The fossil bed is on a very steep slope at the top of a hillside.





There are very interesting rock formations along this valley. The grass and sagebrush are starting to turn green but the wind was still very cold.

We carried on and did a few geo caches in the area as well.
On the way home Rick investigated some rocks and discovered a new fossil bed. He found 3 ginkgo leaves.
