Walking along the shore is a total forensic experience. Here's a horse
skull among some rocks.
Somebody's been eating these sea urchins. We suspected birds,
but our guide said that mammalian two-footers were probably responsible.
In this small circular rock garden, a plant flourishes.
This horse had a really bad day here. We don't do roadkill at
Fourmilab, but naturally deceased animals in situ are of interest, so
here's the kind of thing you'll see on open range where animals are rounded
up only on a seasonal basis.
