Plenty of nice fossil pictures can be viewed while "walking" through this exhibit. Another nice feature is the plate tectonic map showing where the continents where during that period.

I recently discovered that a sandstone quarry near my home sells fossils as paving stones. When they open in the spring I plan on going to get a look and check the prices.

I LOVE plate tectonics science! Definitely a "yip"ping!

Thanks, as always, for the ping. I'm about 3/4 through John McPhee's
Assembling California". (I'm sure I was introduced to the book on this thread.) Fascinating book on plate tectonics. Especially because I'm a California native and have been to most of the places discussed in the book.
Here's a little gem for you! -->
U.S. Geological Survey Map I-512.
