Here’s Hulk eating dinner with her name-matching green light up night time necklace. 😄😄
And finally, there’s one more cool thing I’d like to share about this trip.
Where we go, it’s up in the mountains at around 7,500’ elevation.
And in a number of places, it is very easy to find lots of fossils just laying around.
Here’s the interesting thing-these fossils are of prehistoric sea creatures that lived on the sea floor.
I’m no geologist, but the internet tells me these fossils are of sea scallops, sponges, tube worm-like creatures and fossilized impressions of primitive creatures’ burrows in the sea bed.
And they are somewhere between 250-500 million years old!
It’s hard to fathom that span of time, and just how much our planet has moved and changed over that period of time.
And it’s crazy to me to be holding the remnants of what was once a living creature that’s that old.
We found this long unused campfire ring.
Almost every single rock used to build the ring is a fossil.
I wonder if whoever built and used the ring had any idea that their camp fire was surrounded by the fossilized remains of creatures hundreds of millions of years old?
