Day 35

This is what happens when you think you have taken your photo for the day early in the morning. I posted the scallop shells at the bottom of this page, but then I spent the day on the James River. So here are my real photos of the day: catching and eating.

The coordinator of the program I attended in Williamsburg invited her husband, a geologist, to come talk to us a little about fossils of Virginia. He also gave us each our own Chesapecten jeffersonius (a type of scallop), the state fossil of Virginia. It was also the first fossil discovered in North American in 1687. They are approximately three to four million years old.
