Polishing Fossils
Erfoud, Morocco Late 1990’s
Fossils, especially trilobites, are plentiful in the desert around Erfoud. Here a man has his own little polishing factory. He has a “fossil mine” located in the desert east of Erfoud where trenches are dug in the sands, sometimes 8 to 10 feet deep. It reminded me of gold rush days in old California.
