Fossil hunting in the city? A view of Salt Lake City from the Gulch, Cephalopod Gulch on the GPS. A small Anasibirites kingianus. and the Anasibirites Bed, it looks surprisingly like the beds in the Confusion Range 150 miles to the southwest.

A lot more color than your normal photos. Any exceptional finds (other than piece of mind?)

Now that you mention it, it seems alot more colorful in pictures. Nothing exceptional this year :sad:

What is the significance of "throwing in the hammers"? Time to go home?
We couldn't find the outcrop that was supposed to be there, hiked all over with no luck.
