Agates are pretty. When I was little I bought them all the time, in all those goofy little tourist shops. Tumbled and dyed rocks. I still don't mind them tumbled but I think the natural colors are much nicer.
Just for Bam, a couple more pics from my adventures last summer.
Ankylosaurus (or something like that) footprints:
This is actually the underside of the footprint. The dinos walked along here, and when this weathered out you see the bottom of the footprint underneath an overhang, sort of a negative cast of the footprint. Each footprint was around 8 inches wide.
And sauropod footprints (These were likely left by a smaller cousin of Brontosaurus):
I had to climb up this little hill and the easiest way to do it was step right in the dino footprints (those large-ish dents, two are obvious: one just left and below the center of the photo and one up and to the right of that). And it made me wonder how many people stepped in the dino footprints and never knew they'd been Walking with Dinosaurs.
