Erfoud, fossil workshop

A man polishing fossils at the workshop in Erfoud. 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 piece of fossil art produced by the workshop, posted earlier:

The filtered light and capture of this workman is exceptional. A very well shot image and story line. Voted

Seems the work is not to healthy. Great image off the conditions they make this art.
