We started out on a tidal channel levée.
Lots of neat organisms there!
a starfish and Goniolithon red algae
A Holothurian
Some nice carbonate grains!
Crispy Crusts
Limpets
And then we drove down to Little Ambergris Island.... Where the beautiful ooids are forming and cementing! It is very idyllic!
Ooid Beach!
And some friends
Discussing island formation
Flying the Drone
Old microbial mats that have dried up in a bubbly texture
Flat topped ripples
Getting a core of the mats and overbank oolites
OK Recovery
Mats and the random overwash conches
Beautiful mats that I know all my geobiology friends would love!
To The OOID FACTORY!!!!
The energy here is so high it is hard to get a good video!
Big beautiful ooids!
And a sea biscuit...
