We took 2 days and saw Cretaceous coral patch reefs/biostromes, Cretaceous rudist reefs, and some Cambrian algal mounds. We covered a lot of territory but saw some great stuff!
Some lovely Cretaceous corals! A nice thick branching type
This one is weathered beautifully
There were lots of big massive/domal colonies.
Some awesome borings in the Cow Creek Formation.
After the Cretaceous corals, we went to check out some Cambrian algal mounds from the Wilburns Formation.
They look even better in the cliff faces!
On Day 2, we checked out some Cretaceous rudist mounds.
What a fabulous exposure!
An awesome cross section of a Caprinid rudist.
A very complicated sedimentary structure.
This one was better, although I still had to dive a boulder to make it into the shot.
An awesome site!
The Prickly Pears had just started blooming
And last of all, the guard peacocks!
Hi! Where can I found this fossils palace?
