wadi field trip

As we walked through the wadi that was once a ocean millions of years ago.The sand filled our shoes the same as the experience filled our heart. the experience of the hike is one I will always remember, the view, and the passion of completing the hike. even though our legs were sore and the sun was shining at us with extreme heat we defiantly loved this field trip. 

As Mr. bill explained how the rock was made of lime stone. When he put the liquid of 10% acid and how it made the rock and sand fizz up, it was marvelous to see what a liquid could do! As Mr. Bill said the oldest rocks are at the bottom of the sand. As he handed out some fossils such as oyster shells- the oyster shells looked a lot different from each other because of where the oysters were living in different places, he also showed us clam fossils, snail fossils , sand dollar fossils and plankton fossils. he also said that there are 2 animals that got extinct they are the Baslasorus which ate sharks, the animal that defended them and was also extinct is the Magladon . The Magladon was last seen 2 million years ago. a fun fact Mr. Bill said was that the ground that we are standing on is actually 50 meters sea level and some of the hills are 300-400 meters sea level! 

some simular things that I saw at the wadi and at our class stream table were that they both had canyouns and sand.
