Note: Clicking any of the hyperlinks below will take you to the specific hike page that provides detailed information about the picture's location. Making these fossils finds is not easy and only happens rarely. This year I only had two good findings all year.  The pictures below came from only two locations; one on a hike along Cougar Road at the Deer Creek Picnic area in the Spring Mountain Range, and the second at the top of a mountain overlooking Arrow Canyon. Visiting these pages will take you on a virtual hiking tour of dozens of hikes in around Clark County, Lincoln County and the California's Death Valley area. Remember, after visiting one of the associated links, clicking your "back button" will return you to this page.

Picture Notes: All of the beautiful seabed fossils in the pictured above were contained in a single rock in a large rock beneath a partially expose tree root along Cougar Rd at Deer Creek Picnic Area.
