  5. Hand sample pan - maybe not that much more detail than a zoomed photo, but the pan viewer gives more flexibility in viewing. (Would be better with a DSLR, I think, but we're not so equipped yet.) Outcrop location: gigapan.org/gigapans/50957/ Thin section: gigapan.org/gigapans/72751/

  8. Part of the rock formation called Devil's Oven, at Devils Hopyard State Park. This particular set of rocks has undergone differential weathering - some parts of the rock weather faster than others - which has left caves in places. Local folklore has it that during the American Revolution, these caves served as hiding...
