This is the first of several gullies we surveyed. Note the numerous dark rocks in the foreground. These are rounded pieces of marcasite/ fools gold.

Entrance to a large gully. As we were working our way around the bushes and ledges, we heard Claire start screaming, and apparently jumping up and down.

We hiked all the way across this large gully fairly quickly. On the way back, several nice finds were made.

The vastness of the gully makes one feel quite small. The gullies were extensive.

Claire has found a Clidases mosasaur jaw, including several teeth, literally laying on the surface of the gully, in eyesight of where we parked our cars.
