Found a good spot over Easter. Lots of large clams. Many small shells, wood, organic matter. I think the small shell is an ammonite but I am not sure. The ammonites I have found in deeper, lower layers of the Mancos shale have been much larger. JY 0410150840.jpg 0410150842.jpg downsized_0410150839.jpg
