A little fishy.
I guess that's true. Cheers to the fast swimmers!

Mt. Wapta, Mt. Dennis and Mt. Stephen are all Canadian peaks but not what you might call a Proper Climbing Area. They are prime areas for viewing the formation known as the Burgess Shale, however. It says so in the link.
This shale and its specimens were a subject of great interest to the science historian/baseball nut Stephen J. Gould, who wrote a book The Burgess Shale.
I only had to struggle through the book. donini actually lived through much of the era's latter millenniums!
Lloyd Burgess is not in the movie, though.
No, wait...he is in the movie Cool Bridges...what was I thinking?

Hey, Pyro, awesome Thread. I enjoyed our discussion last night and it was cool how we found common ground in the ocean. Like you and many others here, I love oceans and pretty much all bodies of water large or small.
You can even boulder right on the shore of St. Thomas :)
You have inspired me to load my pictures onto my new computer. Maybe I'll find something like the time I did the fun, tourist thing off Grand Cayman where you go out a couple miles to a sandbar and hold and feed the stingrays. Special critters!

Pyro, cool topic.
NUT..... thanks for posting. If one looks carefully you can make out the birth of the Sierra, right after the shallow sea disappears..150mya....
I think, if I recall correctly.
