I found an 86 million year old pearl!



OK, not quite...one of the casts of the Inoceramus fossils that I found this evening (I was hunting with a crowbar) had an iron sulfide nodule in it.  So I guess the large clam fossil had a 1.5 inch fool's gold "pearl" in it - seems appropriate for April Fool's Day. I also saw a scenic outcrop. Karen and Kris turned last weekend's strawberries into strawberry jam this week.  Temps this weekend were in the upper 80s - the family went swimming in the apartment pool.  Kris had a couple of friends for a sleepover last night and that went well.
