 Large fossil seed, possibly from the walnut family. (4/23/03) |
 Unidentified fossil leaf & seed. (4/23/03) |
 This seed was especially well preserved and of a different color than the other seeds found. The next image is a closeup. (4/23/03) |
 Note the red/orange color of this seed. All other seeds found here are a tan/beige color which is almost the same as the sand color. This seed also had a porous structure in its center. (4/23/03) |

 Shirley Alvarez (left) & Steve Wallace (right) wrapping and marking specimens. The weather was getting colder and colder as the day went on. Even though we tried, it's nearly impossible to wrap, tape & record specimens with gloves on! (4/23/03) |

 The snow begins to fall heavily as Susan Passmore (left) arrives to dig. A light snow wouldn't have bothered us. After all, snow is better than rain... but this?! The quarry is jinxed! Center: Rich Barclay, Right: Shirley Alvarez.(4/23/03) |
 Snow ends digging... (4/23/03) |
