After a couple of hours back at camp eating, resting, and drying off, we headed out for a late afternoon collecting trip in a nearby gully.

At the beginning of the day, we eagerly head out into the gullies, not knowing what we may find.

Into a new gully - and James Lamb almost immediately holds up a nice find, but what is it?

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. They littered the ground throughout this gully.

We hiked all the way across this large gully fairly quickly. On the way back, several nice finds were made. Each one takes quite a bit of time to excavate properly, and James Lamb jokingly told us to quit looking down!

The vastness of the gully makes one feel quite small. The gullies were extensive. We searched as much as we could, and felt as if we had barely started.

After a brief overview of the geology of the area, and a review of collecting and flagging procedures by James Lamb, the group headed out into the gullies. Almost immediately, fossil mosasaur vertebra and turtle pieces are found and marked with flags.
