On a trip to Death Valley with a couple buddies, We stopped by Fossil Falls. Fossil Falls is an ancient water fall that has eroded the basalt rock to form unique formations in the rock.

I live in the mountains that once were the bottom of the sea and now is sedimentary rock. After a couple of hours of searching I came across this somewhat mysterious fossil that makes me think of seashell or a fish's fin. And you, what do you think? HMM

The fossilised teeth of the Great White shark's ancestor can be found, if you have hours of patience to search and a lot of luck.
Trilobites meaning "three lobes") are a fossil group of extinct marine arachnomorph arthropods that form the class Trilobita. Trilobites form one of the earliest known groups of arthropods. The first appearance of trilobites in the fossil record defines the base of the Atdabanian stage of the Early Cambrian period (521 million years ago), and they flourished throughout the lower Paleozoic era before beginning a drawn-out decline to extinction when, during the Devonian, all trilobite orders except the Proetids died out. Trilobites finally disappeared in the mass extinction at the end of the Permian about 250 million years ago. The trilobites were among the most successful of all early animals, roaming the oceans for over 270 million years.

With the cloudy conditions yesterday, I opted for a day trip out to Fossil Creek (near Strawberry, AZ) in hopes that a little fall color still remained. While it was definitely past peak, there were still a few nice pockets of color here and there - such as in this particular scene.
Fossil Creek is such a beautiful watershed, but it's being loved to death. In the summer months I won't go near it due to the crowds (often unruly crowds at that). It was great to see it almost completely void of people yesterday....note I said almost. My friend and I hiked to the main waterfall and, upon arriving, we surprised a couple doing it right in front of the waterfall. Sheez!!

Fossils of sea creatures found inside the catacombs of Paris, France.
The Catacombs of Paris or Catacombes de Paris are underground ossuaries in Paris, France. Located south of the former city gate, the ossuaries hold the remains of about six million people and fill a renovated section of caverns and tunnels that are the remains of historical stone mines, giving it its reputation as "The World's Largest Grave". Opened in the late 18th century, the underground cemetery became a tourist attraction on a small scale from the early 19th century, and has been open to the public on a regular basis from 1874.

This was just a dodgy looking rock when we found it. After a little poking, prodding, filing and polishing we found this. This was found in the chalk of the Purbeck Hills about 100m above sea level. It is about 140 million years old and looks like a heart...bless...

The Fossil Shell Beach is in the vicinity of Hat Noppharat Thara - Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park. It features limestone slabs formed from various types of embedded mollusks. There exists only two other similar sites in the world, one in the US and another in Japan. The age of the fossils at this beach is placed at about 40 million years ago. At that time, Susaan Hoi (Fossil Shell Beach) was a large freshwater swamp. Eventually, it became a landmass. Over time, successive layers of shells created rock slabs known as the "shelly limestone" of over 40 cm. These rest on 10 centimetres of lignite, below which was subsoil. Due to geographic upheaval, this shelly limestone at Susaan Hoi is now distributed in great broken sheets on the seashore at Laem Pho. They look like broken chunks of cement flooring from afar.

Ammonites first appeared 415 million years ago in the form of a small, straight shelled creature, known as Bacrites. They quickly evolved into a variety of shapes and sizes including some shaped like hairpins. During their evolution the ammonites faced no less than three catastrophic events that would eventually lead to their extinction. The first event occurred during the Permian (250 million years ago), where only 10% survived. These surviving species went on to flourish throughout the Triassic, however at the end of this period (206 million years ago) they faced near extinction, when all but one species survived. This event marked the end of the Triassic and the beginning of the Jurassic, during which time the number of ammonite species grew once more. The final catastrophe occurred at the end of the Cretaceous period when all species were annihilated and the ammonites became extinct. This event apparently coincided with the death of the dinosaurs.

John Day Fossil Beds National Monument is a U.S. National Monument in Wheeler and Grant counties in east-central Oregon. Located within the John Day River basin and managed by the National Park Service, the park is known for its well-preserved layers of fossil plants and mammals that lived in the region between the late Eocene, about 45 million years ago, and the late Miocene, about 5 million years ago.
