The trio spent the day in the fossil beds, with Leakey following his wife.

The fossil beds were formed at a time when the seabed was much higher than it is today.

The main aim was to protect the fossil beds.

Not much more than a trench dome, but there are good fossil beds.

I had a favorite fossil bed about a hundred meters from here.

Indeed, arthropods dominate the fossil bed with at least 30 species.

The park's name comes from the large number of fossil beds in the surrounding area, which was a seacoast 100 million years ago.

They passed the fossil bed, which was much farther along than the last time Victoria had seen it.

They were among the most common mammals found in the fossil beds from that time.

The route also passes through a fossil bed and thus requires a special park permit to be in the area.
