At the end of January I skipped out on winter for a trip to the Tucson Gem and Fossil Show, which I've wanted to do for years. It was great. I went to see the fossils, and I was not disappointed. There were fantastic fossils from all over the world. Maybe the most surprising fossils I saw were a large pile of turtle or tortoise caprolites from Madagascar! Another surprise was the number of ice age mammal fossils that are coming out of the Rhine River, at Wurms. At one of the venues there was a courtyard full of orange trees! And it was great to see Saguaros again, not to mention the beautiful warm weather.
