shovel in Albion Island Quarry. |

Helmut ("Hat") and Francisco
(the expedition paleontologist) at the base of the quarry wall.
Minutes earlier, Francisco found a fossilized crab in the
Tertiary's Barton Creek Dolomite. This find is testament to his incredible
skill as a paleontologist because only a small portion of the crab
was exposed, and it was not at all clear that it was even a fossil. |

Reuben searching for fossils in the
dolomite. In addition to the crab above, some gastropods (snails)
were found, by others on the "paleo crew," but I didn't find a
thing all day! Nonetheless, it was 95° and coming from Wisconsin,
I enjoyed the heat (sort of). |
|
On the way "home" that night, we
stopped to watch a trail of leaf cutter ants as they crossed the
road. I was hoping to see some. We would run across more
later in the trip where I saw something I wouldn't have imagined
possible. |
