Greek's Olives?

The tree in the photo is on our ground: it is an olive tree with a circumference of 6.10mts and we think it is the oldest in our area. Even though it could be about 1000years old it still produces very good olives which go to make our supply of oil.
Who knows if it yielded for the Greeks and Romans as they travelled back and forth between Paestum and Velia.

Jurassic Park?
The various traces of  life that can be seen in the photo of the sandstone we found in the road that takes us to our olive trees have been dated to the mesozoic era ( 65-200 milions of years ago ). There are remains of eggs, small seeds, leaves and footprints perhaps those of a small dinosaur ( similar to Ciro, the small dinosaur found in Campania, Italy ).
We found these traces by chance after a violent storm which washed away the layers of sandstone deposited in milions of years  covering these impressions left in the sand.
The incredible thing is that these impressions were probably left after a storm milions of years ago which washed the eggs, seeds and leaves into the sand while the little dinosaur could only watch as her nest was destroyed
 

 

Leo has just come back from Australia where he made lots of friends and learnt lots of English.........but he could do with more lessons!
