Erfoud, fossil workshop

One the prize pieces at the fossil workshop in Erfoud, being made into a tabletop. I would have loved to have had this, but it just wasn’t practical.

The area is rich in fossils, and this company certainly was capitalizing on that. They sold some lovely pieces, but most were far too heavy to carry or ship back to Saudi Arabia. I ended up buying a little stone camel and something similar to this that I use as a spoon rest.

A fossil piece of art produced by the workshop, posted earlier:
