Tizi N'Talghaumt Pass - High Atlas - Morocco

[Tidgy's Dad]

Oh, and I forgot to post this specimen. 

Is it a dinosaur embryo?

No.

Is it a mushroom ? 

No.

Is it a duck? 

No. 

It's a piece of chert. 

A friend of mine wanted a piece as apparently it's used for polishing the paper in calligraphy. Or something. 

Anyway, he was very pleased with his gift.

Beautiful scenery, Adam - thanks for showing us!

 

And I, too, am glad to hear that you were able to get out for a hunt - I certainly am excited for winter to be over here so I can get out again!!!

Adam, great pictures. Thank you!

In the oued Ziz, those plateaus of the river banks correspond to sedimentary rocks of the Cretaceous.

Thanks, Monica. 

It was pretty cold on this day, but bearable. 

Hopefully, your spring will be here soon.

Thanks!

My map shows mainly Jurassic for the Aoufous Oasis, but Cretaceous does occur nearby and on the top.

Thank you.

And you're right about the harmony thing, still traditionally made here, but sadly not elsewhere, as shall be seen.

Hard to keep track of all these little snippets, but still enjoying the trip.

Maybe You could get the mods to merge them into 1 thread?

No, i'd rather have them separate for now so people can look up just one location with the search feature in the future and also I may add to each location when I've done some further research and prepping.

Uh OK, guess I'll just have to muddle through it......
