How cool is that?

I bet there are sunken prehistoric fossils under the perma bog of Cypress Swamp.

We live out on Hidden Hills Lake, the area was once a Native American settlement. One of the archeology faculty (Ray Brassieur?) excavated out here years ago with students, made some finds. I'm told if you dig a couple of feet down just about anywhere here, you'll find artifacts.

And I'm not sure we have bogs out here, things rot too fast.

Shhh I'm trying to add to the mystique.

Shhh I'm trying to add to the mystique.

Are you sure that's actually a swamp?

LMAO.

Where is that fool?

Dude will probably say those fossils were found closer to Grand Coteau

Very cool Dr. Fun.

BTW, my Great Uncle, Ralph Brasseaux, once found a Triceratops fossil in the Henry area. It used to be on display somewhere on Campus.
