  2. Carbonate sedimentologists will know and love this one - it's one of the classic world-class localities for understanding the geology of Permian-aged reef complexes.

  5. Site of an ancient catastrophe... Edi is standing in the Bell Canyon Sandstone. See if you can find Berti (he's waving to you). Hint: find him in the Rader Slide blocks.

  7. Kilbourne Hole is a well preserved example of a maar volcano. Here we can see tephra layers blown out by the eruption overlying an older basaltic lava flow. The tephra is relatively light in color, but contains many mantle xenoliths, which makes this a favorite collecting locality for geologists.

  10. When I framed this GigaPan the clouds formed a nice large halo directly centered on Muleshoe Mound. Unfortunately by the time the robot got over to the clouds they had drifted a bit. It's not often I can complain about having too much blue sky. :-P
