This was taken at Fossil Creek. We just took a recent trip to Cottonwood, AZ for our July 4th. We enjoyed swimming here one afternoon! We had to drive 10 miles on rough terrain up a mountain to get this beautiful spot!

My Fossil watch.
Sadly during this shoot, I dropped it and scratched the bezel and shortly after the kinetic technology that supplies power to the second hand stopped working
Fossil Creek is in the Coconino National Forest in Arizona. The water from this creek was used in the early 1900's to supply water to a hydroelectric power plant that was used to produce electricity for nearby mining operations. The green/blue color of the creek is due to calcium carbonate deposits.
Last weekend I went out looking for fossils. I found several places not to far from the Twin Cities that held several fossil deposits. A guide can be found here (PDF)
In this concretion there are a variety of fossils from the Ordovician Period from about 438-505 million years ago. If you look closely you can see Brachiopods, Cephalopods, Bryozoans, Crinoids and probably several other species I haven't identified yet. I bought a few tools to clean these up and maybe dig out some of them too.
In all it was a pretty fun day, even though I couldn't find the elusive Trilobite. I'm planning on going out to a few places here in the city a few times to see if I can find more.

Ammonite fossil found on Seatown (near Charmouth) beach - dead chuffed, first 'big' find in the family!
Fossil Crinoids (Jimbacrinus bostocki). Found in the Grascoyne Formation of Permian age. These crinoids are about 280 million years old. Gascoigigne Junction, West Australia, Australia. (Collection of the Colorado School of Mines Geology Museum. Golden, Colo.)
Closeup of what looks like a fossil in the rock face with the Barrier Canyon Style pictographs. This part of the panel is faded from runoff, but from looking at it in DStretch this looks like it was on the side of a painted figure, maybe about where its arm would be. But I can't really make out enough to see if the artist was trying to incorporate it or ignore it.
Bison antiquus Leidy, 1853 - fossil buffalo skull from the Pleistocene of North America. (public display, Cincinnati Museum of Natural History & Science, Cincinnati, Ohio, USA)
The ancient bison (a.k.a. Ice Age bison) had a slightly larger body & horns compared with the modern American buffalo (Bison bison). Bison antiquus is the inferred ancestral species to modern Bison bison.

Fossil Butte National Monument near Kremmerer Wyoming. Today less than 1.5% of Fossil Lake is protected and managed by the National Park Service. Fossil Butte National Monument is a site that promotes the protection of this world-class paleontological heritage.

11 campsites with drinking water, restroom, tables and fire rings. Fed by the rains and snows of the last Ice Age, the Owens River once flowed from Owens lake down through this narrow valley between the Coso and Sierra Nevada Mountain ranges. Several times during the last 100,000 years, the discharge from the Owens river has been great enough to form a vast interconnected system of lakes in what are now the arid basins of the Mojave Desert. The rugged and primitive features of Fossil Falls are the produce of volcanic activity. As recent as 20,000 years ago, lava from the local volcanic eruptions poured into the Owens River channel. The erosional forces of the Owens River acted upon this volcanic rock, forming the polished and sculptured features that now can be seen at Fossil Falls.
