McAbee, near Cache Creek, British Columbia
  • Location: McAbee, Cache Creek, British Columbia
  • Date Taken (dd-mm-yy): 2007

While the site is now an arid hillside topped with finger-like hoodoos, some 51 million years ago McAbee was a large, flourishing lake. As fish and other inhabitants died, their remains settled to the bottom and were preserved in the diatom rich sediments that would one day become shale.
