• Pisolith-rich Grainstone, Tansill Formation(?), Whites City, New Mexico by Ron Schott
This sample was a boulder collected from a streambed just outside Carlsbad Caverns National Park. I haven't yet looked closely at it so I don't know if it's properly oriented. See if you can find any geopetal structures. I forgot to include a ruler for scale, but the width of the entire field of view is about 15 cm.
