Ancient TBT: California Fossil-A Witness To Sea Life!

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Napa Consultants DRE00893924

 www.napaconsultants.com

We are in the process of finalizing the brand of one of our clients.  At our last meeting he announced that he in was in negotiations to finalize the sale of a ranch with a vineyard.  The ranch has walls of fossils which means that at one time the land was part of the Pacific Ocean.  He showed me a piece of rock with the fossil imprint, and I loved it.

 

Today, I received an email with this picture telling us that he had picked a few pieces of fossil stone for me.  It is something I will treasure.  This stone is a witness to life in California many years ago!  

 

Happy Thursday,

Michael Jacobs the one I saw in the office was the size of the largest phone,  I have not seen in person what they picked up for me, I will go by their office tomorrow and pick it up.  I am assuming it will be as big.  When I saw it, I did not want to give it back, something about it was so enticing.  It felt good to hold.  A

Roger D. Mucci given you are now svelte and getting svelter, I think one of those European Speedo styles would be in order!  LOL A

LOL indeed, I am barely down to my "chubby" weight, let alone svelte.  My speedo days are long gone and never to return.  Not only because of weight issues but also being long in the tooth.

What an interesting piece of history.  I like to have unusual things like that in my office.  Great conversation pieces when clients stop by.

Alexandra like you I love fossils...growing up as a kid we used to go to Lake Balaton in Hungry and when I would find one or two my father would explain the history... and I have always been intrigued by fossils because he instilled the curiosity in me:), Endre

Endre Barath, Jr. what a precious memory to have of time with your father.  I have no idea where my affection comes from for this.  I suppose it is witnessing the Earth's evolution from the ocean to a ranch that grows grapes.  It just makes rocks alive.  A

Good morning A & R. Wow, that would be something that would definitely get my attention. I'm sure once you get your gift, you will make sure it is always visible.

Good morning A.  I wonder what the world looked like several thousands of years ago when the water was receding.  Would like to go back and take a look but not stay there.

Looks like these fossils have quite a story to tell.  And to some they speak volumes.

Beth Atalay the colors are amazing and simply lovely.  I associate those colors with CA, especially when I see the big granite blocks justting out of the hills.  It is hard to believe all that was under water to be revealed. A

I love it too and it reminds me a little of the shells you sent me from Sugarland Beach. I think of you when I see them.
