Cool photos!

ELINVESTIG8R ...where is this area?



Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

How cool, fascinating pics. Wonder what the one with concentric circles is?? Age rings? Fascinating.

David- Great pictures! Thanks for sharing. I hope the location is remote and stays unknown to "collectors" who could wipe it out in no time.

Are you really sure those are "Fossils"? As a geologist I am skeptical!

Interesting formations, but definitely ATYPICAL of "Fossil" deposits!

Sorry to rain on your parade, but I too don't think those are fossils - and definitely not dino eggs. I have seen similar features in other marine terraces in central Baja. I was told they are likely castings (casings?) or burrows of marine bivalves - that would explain the long cylindrical shapes. Look around that area and you will probably find fossilized seashells I bet. I'll try and post a few pics of mine later which show very similar shapes.

I am told there is a fossilized teradactyl on a cliff that was found by a cowboy while out gathering up his cows. It is some distance away from the site I was at. On my next visit are going to look for it.

For those who do not believe them to be fossilized dinosaur eggs it’s ok.

They have the same shape as the 'spirit globes' in your night photographs at El Metate.

A lambeosaurus femur to be precise.
