Mount Ararat Sedimentation Fossils
“We were searching along the northern edge of the Ahora
Gorge and there is absolutely no
passageway between the Ahora Gorge and the Parrot Glacier. That’s when I found the fossil layer and
the actual fusion line between
the old and new mountains. The fossil layer was at 14,800 feet. It was a sedimentary layer between 18 and
20 inches thick and looked like
seashell fossils. It was in a spot that I couldn’t get over to without rope. Because of all the things [going
on] I didn’t have a rope
that day. And I, climbing with an inexperienced boy and if I was left dangling, I’m sure he would have left me to dangle
for awhile.”
