A GigaPan of the bookshelf in my office intended to highlight a bunch of my "deskcrops" (geologic specimens I have a fond attachment to) for The Accretionary Wedge #4 (http://www.goodschist.com/2007/12/02/the-accretionary-wedge-4-call-for-submissions/). Unfortunately I didn't have any good way to light the office for photography and thus the images are pretty grainy when you zoom in much. I also didn't use the full zoom capability of the camera in order to keep the stitch a reasonable size. | |||

An Easter Egg hunt on my front porch. There are three dozen eggs 'hidden', as well as two Easter bunnies, two Mainzelmännchen, one Eeyore, one Rubber Duckie, and if you look really closely you'll find the reflection of the photographer pointing to one of the hidden eggs.
Happy Easter and Happy Hunting!!! [Permission for media use is hereby granted.] |

Rock City is a local park near Minneapolis, Kansas where dozens of meter-scale concretions of Dakota Sandstone have remained resistant to weathering. Berti and Edi (the rock gnomes) had a field day! See if you can find and snapshot them in all of their hiding places. |

Normal fault in the Fort Hays member of the Cretaceous Niobrara Formation, south of Stockton, Kansas. These chalk beds were originally deposited in the shallow Western Interior Seaway about 80 million years ago. The thick beds of the Fort Hays member are extensively bioturbated. Faulting is post-Cretaceous and pre-Quaternary. | |||
