Chance encounter


Yes, I know, this pair don't exactly qualify as a baby animals, but happened to see these today while taking our daughter west of Alamo hunting for fossils. Just a quick grab shot at the telephoto limits of a point & shoot we had along, and a bit of cropping with PS.

  1. Great shot! Difficult to find these beasties too.

  2. They are kind of babies in the respect that their horns haven't matured yet.... :-)

  3. Or they may be females (who have smaller horns). Kind of hard to look under their legs to be sure... ;) Great shot, Jim - wish I had seen them! Did you find some good fossils??

  4. No Trilobites found, but many other fossils. Worms, lots of plant life, etc. It is mind-boggling to realize all was under the ocean many millions of years ago. Humankind, at least myself, has great difficulty envisioning the time spans involved.

  5. I love fossils, of any kind! We brought back some "horn corals" from Iowa one year, that Merlin's mom had in her yard from a nearby outcrop of limestone.
