Fossil Walk


The owner of the bonnechere caves talking about this huge fossil in front of him


everyone was getting a little too close, so he had to draw the line.


sam gets a close view of the huge fossil


on our way to our first fossil place, we spot a restaurant... looks like we found our lunch spot.


we arrive at a church


the rocks the church used are from the area and are full of fossils.


a close up view of one of the rocks.... not the most spectacular, but it is our first stop.


we continue our walk and cross a bridge


the fall colours are starting to appear


town mural


we arrive at our next location


and the fossils are getting more interesting.

a couple more fossils


this area is a municipal green space, and again the rocks are all from the area.
