Armenia is under-explored, there
are so many things to find and discover. Here is an example
of 60-80 million year fossils that we found in Jirvez 12
years ago. We discovered a small crack between the mountains
full of shell and coral fossils. In the near future we will
continue our exploration and will post new pictures and
stories about natural history of Armenia.
