Yesterday, on a fine Arabian winter day (27 degrees C), I was hiking with a colleague over one of the southern foothills to the main Hajar Mountains, studying the structural geology. I took a photo of a spectacular graben and then turned to my right to come face to face with the monster Cretaceous ammonite shown below. This is a rare find in this area and will go to the local natural history museum. A complete surprise!
