Yesterday we went on a field trip fossil hunting among the buildings of downtown Calgary! Many are clad in Tyndall Stone, a fossiliferous Ordovician limestone. Highlights included nautiloids, gastropods, horn corals, and algae.

Thanks to Tako Koning for once again leading this exciting and popular trip!
