  1. Looking off behind the tilted layers is a rather scenic view (red rocks somehow make everything look better, maybe?)

  2. Again with this particular set of tilted rocks.... field geologists still poking around measuring the sedimentary layers here.

  4. Some nice sets of crossbeds (angled sedimentary bedding) in sandstone (Wahweap formation, according to my field notes). The angled beds formed in a sand dune, most likely, that is preserved now in the rocks. The compass is for scale...

  5. Looking off into the distance from the ridge called the Cock's Comb (formed by a fault tilting layers of sedimentary rock).

  6. From the Devil Canyon overlook, looking north along the main channel of Bighorn Canyon. If I remember the stratigraphy correctly, the top layer of the canyon is formed from the Madison Limestone, which is over 350 million years ago - same age and similar in appearance to the Redwall Limestone that makes up part of t...

  7. Looking west from the main road in Bighorn Canyon National Recreational Area (the canyon is the other direction), there are beautiful sets of tilted sedimentary layers - reds, tans, greys, etc. This view is located inside the Pryor Mountain Wild Horse Refuge as well (part of the refuge is located inside the recreati...

  9. Pompey's Pillar is an exposed hunk of sandstone along the banks of the Yellowstone River in central Montana (the river itself is off to the right of the pan). It served for many years as a place for travelers to note their passage - from Native Americans to European trappers up until relatively recently. It serves ...

  10. North rim of the Grand Canyon - the view looking northeast from the scenic lookout called Point Royal. (If the weather were a bit clearer, I believe you could see Vermillion Cliffs in Utah. But it's a bit hazy for that.)
