FINDING THE CRINOIDS |
|
 |
 |
|
Welcome to the Ordovician trilobite
mountains, east of Erfoud. |
|
 |
 |
|
It
is near here that we find the mountains of burrowing at the crinoid quarry |
|
 |
 |
A basket at the bottom
of this 16 foot deep
hole is one
method of removing the dirt |
My Daughter happily displays her find |
|
 |
 |
|
When lucky the workers extend the hole to find the rare larger pieces |
| |
      |
|
Up And down, up and down, all in a days work |
| |
|
This is how
it started |
Months later
a finished piece
worthy of display in any museum |
| |
|
Thanks
for looking, any questions, just ask. |
