The Domelands (in the Coyote Mountains) have a rocky benthic community with big gastropods & echinoderms. <BR/><BR/>Yes, I meant the experimental aquarium attached to SIO, which is not open to the general public.Miriam Goldsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01851598721198760314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6346623333092702883.post-61071587647887980872009-01-04T21:13:00.000-08:002009-01-04T21:13:00.000-08:00No, I've never been to Anza-Borrego.

Have you been out to the fossil beds at Anza-Borrego? There's sand dollar tests just sitting around in the middle of the desert (along tons of other marine fossils) and especially amazing Pliocene oyster beds. <BR/><BR/>Also, if you guys come to San Diego & want a tour of the pier/experimental aquarium at SIO, let me know! We've got basket stars & adorable baby leopard sharks...Miriam Goldsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01851598721198760314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6346623333092702883.post-70023478656095877512009-01-04T01:25:00.000-08:002009-01-04T01:25:00.000-08:00I've always wanted to go to San Diego for a whole ...I've always wanted to go to San Diego for a whole month. I figure I could see most of what I wanted to in that time. You know me... I'm a museum a day type person. And we know from experience that the zoo alone takes about 3 days to do right.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02474434988848889088noreply@blogger.com
