Field School, Day 5 (7/10/03) - Fossil Rainforest, Castle Rock, Colorado

On Day #5, we visited the Fossil Rainforest at Castle Rock, Colorado.  We found many spectacularly large leaves, indicating a rainforest.  This is a location that I've worked extensively over the past two years and have fully documented on my website, so I will refer you to my Castle Rock pages for more information.

The pictures below show two of the fantastic specimens discovered on this day at Castle Rock (note quarter for scale in image at left).  For more images, see the Day 5 link at the bottom of this page.
