MY WORLD

[fubar57]

This morning #1 daughter told us that she had heard there were fossils close to the highway north of here so loaded up wife, #1 daughter and grandkid and headed north, destination, Mt Solitude Lodge. This is on the other side of the Pine Pass. At the lodge we asked a guy about the fossils and he said go back about a quarter mile, go under the overpass and park on the left (1). We crossed the road and climbed up the back and the fossils were along the side of the train tracks (second photo #4). The first photo shows roughly where we found the fossils (3). When done we crossed over the highway on the train tracks and came down the proper trail (2)

​

My booty. There could have been a full T-Rex skeleton there but I wouldn't know what to look for

​

On the way home we stopped for lunch at Azouzetta Lake and I had the best Poutine in my life. My truck in the foreground

This is a zoom of the rock formation high over the restaurant

Good stuff Geo.
I saw some fossils in my local pub on Sunday night - Bob, John, Dave and some other bloke ..............

That was the guy in the mirror Terry.

Looks like you had a great day Geo. Hope the fossil police don't find you.

Doesn't seem to be an issue in this location Andy. It's been on social media for years and it might just be that the only thing found here to date are seashells. That and when a train goes by, there is only about 6' between the train and the high-wall. I know that because one went by us as we were searching

Good shots George!

There is a difference, slight, between old fossils and ancient ruins.

 

[Airframes]

Ah, but ancient ruins have style, and class !!

George, the fossils seem to belong to Pectinida Order of Bivalves Class.
