Fossil Factory Exhibition Morocco

http://www.TravelsWithSheila.com The desert area of Morocco was a sea 350-450 million years ago. When the sea receded, the critters remaining died and became fossilized. An interest stop at a fossil factory to see how they make tables, sinks and small objects from gigantic chunks of rock dug out from the mountains around 15km/9.3 miles away from Rissani. There were shark's teeth, fossilized lilies and squids. The guide demonstrated a few of the machines and then the group picked up little baskets in the showroom and began buying.
