  1. A Point of Geological Interest, as the highway signs describe it, just hints at the geological lessons that are laid bare here. The roadcuts that were exposed where Interstate 70 traverses the Dakota Hogback, just before rising out of Denver's western suburbs and rising into the Front Range proper, are a showcase of M...

  2. Along Highway 12 - it was hard not to stop here with the sun hitting the outcrop at a nice angle. I may be wrong about this, but I think these outcrops are part of the Cretaceous Straight Cliffs formation (sandstones and shales), which has occasional organic rich layers - including coal.

  4. This is the roadcut opposite the one seen here: gigapan.org/gigapans/64148/

  5. This is an exposure of late Cretaceous deepwater conglomerates, Cerro Toro Formation, Cerro Benitez, Southern Chile. They were deposited in a foreland basin, probably by very large turbidity currents able to carry cobble-sized material. For more details, see this paper: Hubbard, S. M., Romans, B. W., & Graham, S. (...

  6. A life-sized reconstruction of the skeleton of the gigantic (~15 m long) North African Cretaceous theropod dinosaur Spinosaurus aegyptiacus, produced by the Japanese natural history exhibition company HAN Project 21 Co., Ltd. and exhibited in their 2009 dinosaur exposition in Tokyo (Dinosaur Expo 2009: The Miracle of D...
