This is my property, about 100 acres total. About 25 miles south of grand canyon and just 6 miles from grand canyon caverns at 5400 feet elevation. The first picture is a hill just outside my door, take the dog up this everyday when we go for our walk. Every rock in this picture has fossils on them. An example is the second picture. About 1/8 mile into the trees there is a trail I've made over the years with the quad. I've just recently realized a section of that trail is like an ancient seabed. All red ,airy rocks -light but hard to actually break. Every rock you pick up is embedded with fossils, mostly shells I think. An example is the third picture. I'm thinking this was perhaps a sponge/coral reef because of all the tiny holes or was this just sediment? Any thoughts or comments would be most appreciated. Thanks (Oops, wasted too much memory on that hillside, will post red rock separately ) This is the example of the red rocks that make up the trail
