Fall promises to be spectacular in many ways. If you dream of colors, you will like the following.

 

I like fossil hunting in the fall, although it's not really hunting, the fossils are underwater so it's more like fishing. Anyway, this is one of my many trips to this place, it's not very far and it allows me to go for a weekend nature walk. This is Ordovician, the site is not as beautiful or rich in fossils as the other sites we see in this forum, but it is rich in brachiopods, crinoids, bryozoans and gastropods. This time, I chose a theme to showcase my special finds of the day.

 

It's autumn in Quebec, we see all the colors! This year the province offers an extraordinary spectacle. Due to favorable conditions, autumn 2022 is marked by an extraordinary color season.


This summer the trees have not been under great stress, which is favorable for an autumn with intense colors, the next few weeks should be just as much. Indeed, the season promises to be particularly hot and sufficiently sunny. According to the expert, clear nights will follow these beautiful days, which favors the coloring of the leaves.

 

Enjoy!

The colors of the fossils compliment the hues of Autumn perfectly! Great photography.

Your photos are amazingly beautiful.  :wub: :wub:. I miss those beautiful northern fall colors.  Down here we are having drought conditions and so the leaves are just turning brown.

Your photography is fantastic.  Great how the fossils, the flowing water and fall colors compliment each other.  Is that a group of cyclocystoids in that one picture or more likely crinoid stems?

Thanks! I'm glad you like it. I like to present fossils in a different way

That's a good question, I'm no expert and can't tell one from the other. But from what I know from reading about this formation, it's more likely to be crinoid stems. Maybe @Tidgy's Dad can confirm, if not, I can submit your question to the Fossil ID forum.

Yes, I think crinoid stems are far likely, 

 

What astonishingly gorgeous photography. :b_love1:

Beautiful colour contrasts and some splendid fossils, too.
