Fossils Everywhere You Look

I mentioned in my last post that we have more than our share of rocks on our property,
and many have been put to good uses -- click on that post here.
 Almost every rock on our property has a fossil in it

if you look hard enough.  

We definitely were underwater here

a long time ago.

 So many different types of crustaceans.

There is a limestone plant close by that makes countertops,

and they said the largest fossils they have had are starfish.

 This is a rock attached to our house.

You would have to click on it on see it well.

The fossils wear down from the elements after

they are exposed.

I just found this rock recently,

it has a lot going on.

Most fossils we found are impressions,

but this one has the 3D shapes.

 Another rock used in building our house.

 This large shell left such a clear impression.

This large rock was broken in half during the building

of our guest cottage -- revealing all of it's inner treasures.

Just layers and layers of sea creatures.

They are so crisp because they haven't been exposed to the elements.

Love the cross section of a crinoid.

 If you look closely at this it has (what I think)

is an impression of an aquatic leaf.

Great pattern.

Maybe my favorite because it has all that I mentioned above

going on in one little piece.  

Anyway, the possibility of a great fossil makes me look at every rock

on our property (and that is a bunch.)
