Picture Notes: On 08/20/2013, I made a trip with my friend Harvey Smith to the top of Mount Potosi, elevation 8,515 feet. Probably the most surprising find of the day was the amazing number of seabed fossils that we found in some of the large rock faces while walking along the east side of the road just below the summit. The shots in (Figs. 02 & 03) below show the location of the area where we first spotted the fossils in (Fig. 01). As we continued to walk further down the road, we found even more (Fig. 04). I created the collage (Fig. 05) from a grouping of pictures I took along the way.
