Fossils and other interesting stone surfaces in Verona

There are some beautiful ammonites in the stone in the streets of Verona as well as the Arena.  There are probably other fossils as well but my knowledge of fossils is limited.  We have taken many photos of interesting surfaces and will sort through them and post them soon.  These photos are just from Verona. 

If you are interested in fossils, the Natural History Museum/Museo di Storia Naturale in Verona is worth a visit.  We spent many hours there a few years ago and it has a huge collection of fossil specimens from Bolca

You can see the size of the fossil from the cigarette butt in the right corner
