It has been a long time since it rained enough to inhibit collecting ammonites out in the Puerco...
...so south of the Puerco it is.
The southern edge of the Albuquerque Basin is composed of middle Miocene outcrops...
...I headed there for a few hours of hiking. I found many tid-bits of white mammal bone early on in my adventure. I followed a small "trail" of shards up the hill to find this piece of a camel jaw...
...followed by this (I think ) small piece of antler.
What a great way to spend the morning.
Happy hunting.
