| Dan Dalton | What about These? | |
Voted 10/10 | Ok, I included a few fossil and mineral pictures in this album, is this alright? So it is not a structure as such, but fossils and minerals are important in understanding the rock record and being able to trace formation laterally using bio-stratigraphy and mineralogical similarities. So I hope you do not mind I inculde some of these pictures. Great album! Dan | |

| Mark Doiron | I Just Uploaded ... | |
Voted 10/10 | I just uploaded an image which might be appropriate for this album: http://www.summitpost.org/image/279622/279364/the-bronze-wall-canyon-de-chelly.html I call it the bronze wall, but have no idea what it really is. The image doesn't do it justice: The sheen almost seemed metallic. According to the literature I have, this area was sand dunes millions of years ago, then they petrified, were pushed to the surface and eroded. Perhaps one of SP's geologists can provide me a better explanation to include with the image! :-) --mark d. | |

| jfox | Re: I Just Uploaded ... | |
Hasn't voted | Sounds like a neat place. I am guessing that it is a mildly metamorphosed sandstone with a very high mica content. The muscovite most likely has a foliation (orientation of the mineral grains) due to high pressure w/o heat that migrated and aligned the mica grains a certain way that when sunlight hits them, they reflect a sheen. Phyllite is like this. It's a low grade metamorphic mudstone that has a greenish tint and reflects the light and looks silky. | |
