Around the corner from  The Gingerbread Castle in Hamburg, NJ you’ll find an extraordinary geological formation featuring ancient stromatolite fossils. Nestled in the middle of a mini-mansion community, like precious eggs guarded by a beige mother python, there’s a super-market-sized mound of gray-blue marble covered with pizza-sized psychedelic swirling circular bacteria fossils. I am kind of glad that the formation is obscured inside a community, because it keeps people from destroying it. Having spent most of my life in New Jersey, I’ve seen what Jersey people can do to something precious and irreplaceable.
