Megan Crocker -- coolest GeoCorps participant ever -- takes her chances with a frog at Cleveland-Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry. "A frog in the desert?", you ask!? It began and will end its life entirely in the area below the cattle guard that crosses the road at the quarry entrance. There were 100's of tadpoles when we arrived at CLDQ in June. They finally turned to frogs the week before we left.
Frogs! I wonder if they will be fossilized, and then how much paleontologists of the future will be confused by frogs in the desert.
ReplyDeleteAnd what to make of fossilized cattle guards? And how about those painted cattle guards? Our descendants will be mighty confused by us and our domesticated animals, I would guess. Teacup poodles, cows that can't give birth unassisted, acres and acres of chickens in 1'X 1'x 1' cubes.... We are weirdos.
