Well, at least she used to! This weekend we did our Spring clean-up and mulched. While we were cleaning up the yard, we were picking up some of the rocks out of our flower beds. When Brian picked up a rock, he noticed a fossil on it! A sea shell fossil to be exact...in our very own yard!

| At a best guess, I think we could peg this as a Brachiopod. |

| It's a pretty small fossil. This is an azalea flower. |
 |
| And for an even better size comparison...Jack's tennis ball. |
Pretty amazing, huh?! I was quite impressed with my Baby's Daddy - one for spotting such a tiny imprint and two for putting his impressive palaeontological skills to use! It's simply incredible to wonder how that fossil got into our backyard and what the earth (and our backyard) looked like millions of years ago!
Too cool.

Awesome! I can't believe it still looks good two weeks later!
