While there is speculation betwixt the two of us as to exactly what we found, here is the evidence there are indeed fossils in the area, and not all of them are in the sand stone we have previously found the bivalve shells in.

Oregon Sea Grant hosted its annual Fossil Fest at the Hatfield Marine Science Center's Visitor Center in Newport on Feb. 8, 2020. William Orr, a professor emeritus of geological sciences at the University of Oregon, was the speaker. (photo by Casey Henley, Broken Banjo Photography)
A selection of fossil turtle shells from the Cretaceous Period. On the bottom left is a shell of Basilemys sinuosa from Montana, in the middle is the shell of Catapleura arkansas from Arkansas, on the upper right is the shell of a species of Naomichelys from Texas, and on the bottom right is a Toxochelys moorevillensis from Alabama. The shell on the upper left, meanwhile, belongs to a species whose name I don't know, because the photo I took of its label came out too blurry.
Photo 77/365 of my 365 photo a day project. The box which my Fossil watch came in, they are such nice watches, I am actually trying to find a new one now. Good Fossil watches are hard to find here.
Yesterday we had an impromptu family outing to Fossil Rim in Glen Rose, Texas...one of the most amazing experiences of my life.
We got up close and personal with zebra, ostrich, ibex, reindeer, gazelle, wolves, giraffes...and so much more.
The Hill Country was ablaze in fall color and 290 shots later I realized I could have taken 1,000 and not been done!
The grands were delighted beyond measure, and the grounds included the best children's zoo and educational staff that I've ever seen; they soaked it up - which made the experience all the sweeter. There is nothing on earth like seeing the face of a child having a deer eat from her hand, look into the eyes of a zebra, get a sloppy, slurpy kiss from a happy giraffe, explore all angles of an ancient turtle or brush an angora goat. :-)

With a population of about 450 people, Fossil is one of many isolated small towns dotting the eastern 3/4th of the State of Oregon. It is the county seat of very sparsely populated Wheeler County in north central Oregon. It sits at the junction of Oregon State Routes 19 (north-southeast) and 218 (coming in from the southwest). It is named after the fossils the first postmaster found on his ranch north of the current site of the town in 1876 when he established the first post office at his ranch. In 1881 it was decided to move the post office to the present site of Fossil and the town's first store was built.

What I spend all day looking down the microscope at, fossil pollen and Charcoal, this is at 400 magnification by the way.
Early scientist recovered over one million fossils from Rancho La Brea between 1906 and 1915. They collected only the larger bones and discarded the asphalt-soaked sediments in which they were imbedded. This material, called matrix was later found to contain a wealth of small fossils, such as seeds, snails, insects, and microscopic pollen. In order to investigate these and other neglected aspects of the deposits, the Rancho La Brea Project was started Friday, June 13, 1969 (Asphalt Friday).
This is one of three photos (in addition to Fossil 6 and Fossil 12) taken of a single rock. The rock itself is about the size of a golf ball.
Mary had picked the rock up off the street. She is also nearsighted and was able to see details that had escaped me completely, whether or not I was wearing my glasses. I knew, though, that macro shots would serve as my "eyes".
More detail is in the large view. A photo of the rock along with my thumb (to show size scale) is here.

Collared Lizard (Crotaphytus collaris), Rabbit Valley, Mesa County, Colorado. There are several subspecies, this one apparently the Yellow-Headed Collared Lizard.
We visited Rabbit Valley, located in far western Colorado less than two miles from Utah, to hike the Trail Through Time. The trail is located in a rocky, treeless desert, and is famous for its Jurassic dinosaur and plant fossils. But for us, it seemed more like a playground for lizards.
This piece was sold on Etsy in November 2012. Contact me if you're interested; I would be happy to make another one.
This is a clay interpretation of the Middle Cambrian fossil animal called Pikaia from the Burgess Shale in British Columbia. Pikaia is unique among the Burgess Shale fauna because it appears to have a primitive notochord, potentially placing it in our own phylum Chordata, potentially (but, yeah, contentiously) making it an ancestor of all vertebrates, including us.
About 9 inches (22.86 cm) long, 6.2 ounces (about 261 g). Made of stoneware clay with a glaze called Queens, a tan color with brown highlights.
On the beach at Charmouth looking for bits of the past. I'm holding a piece of Ammonite shell. It is well worn by beach erosion.
