Wow, looks like we may have to come back to get this one, it won't fit in the canoe . . . .

So we "park" the boat, and go along the bank collecting large pieces of petrified wood. The weather is getting ominous. The wind is picking up, we hear thunder and see rain off in the distance. But we just got here, and we've got to get that boat back up the steep slope!
Greg is carefully excavating a small bone. Another piece of bone was found about 1' away from this one.
In a different part of the creek from the echinoids, numerous shells are embedded in the matrix.
Claire also found a pile of sh#!, um, well, or rather, a bag of pyritized coprolites!
Anthony found a vertebra in very good condition.
Claire has found a couple of shark teeth, one still embedded in the rock matrix.
Melanie is examining her latest find. She found quite a few tiny shark teeth in this area.
