Yesterday we were back in Augusta at the State House. G. was serving as a page in the House with some other 4-Hers. L. wasn't old enough so she and I decided to do some geocaching in the area while G. was busy.

As we were wondering around inside the State House with more time to spare, we found this really interesting brochure produced by the Secretary of the Senate about fossils. Apparently there are marine invertebrate fossils in the dark stones of the building and the brochure had a map and description of each fossil type.

L. and I couldn't resist looking and we found all of them. L. went a little camera-happy taking photos of the fossils.

Maclurite
We found a bunch of these all over the place.

Prasopora
Yeah, L. took this picture between some man's shoes as he was standing there. I wished she wouldn't have done that (I didn't realize what she was going to do until it was too late) but the guy didn't seem to notice her. Typical L.

Stromatocerium
L. had to show Flat Annie from Scotland the fossils too.

Crinoid Stalk
"Goddard" the Travel Bug we picked up in Brunswick also checked things out.
