I was in the Wutach area again. A couple of weeks ago I posted a report about my adventures in the Aubach, and today I decided to scramble up the Krottenbach in the hopes of finding some Jurassic fossils. This creek isn't quite as wild as the Aubach, so I managed within 5 hours to move upstream to the point I was hoping to reach, despite the odd tree dam blocking the way. There were 2 huge landslides which inundated the area about 60 years ago and brought down a lot of detritus from the Middle Jurassic in the cliffs on both sides of the valley, so even though that was a long time ago, there's always a chance of finding something in the creek or tucked into its slopes. It being spring, I was also able to enjoy the budding natural scenery. Of course the froggies were also busy. And it looks like someone got stuck in the mud a dog's age ago. The area is also well-known for its huge septarians. I left it there for posterity. Oh yes! I also managed to find a few fossils. Now I'm curious to see how they turn out.
