Joshua Feinberg's Snapshots

  1. Neogene Gravel Plateau

    One of the features that we try to get the students to map are isolated islands of Neogene gravel composed of Paleozoic Quartzite from Dutchman Mountain to the east. These gravel "islands" are found stranded on high, flat plateaus throughout the mapping area.

  2. Junipers preferentially growing on the Kkl.

    Sometimes a particular rock layer will preferentially host a specific kind of vegetation. The Lower Member of the Cretaceous Kootenai Formation (Kkl) seems to frequently host small juniper trees as seen in this narrow strip. Juniper trees occasionally occur in other units as well, but they most frequently thrive in the Kkl.

    There is a beautiful sequence of ridge-forming rock layers (the Gastropod Member of the Cretaceous Kootenai, Kkg) that curl around the landscape in this area demostrating a kind of fold that geologists call an plunging anticline.

    There was another student group mapping the area on this day. The great thing about this was that one of their instructors was a recent UMN graduate student named Rory McFadden. The two students in this picture are leaving the Gastropod Unit of the Cretaceous Kootenai Formation (Kkg) and heading into the Upper Unit of the Cretaceous Kootenai Formation (Kku).

    Happened to fly by the camera as the mosaic was being collected. Anyone what kind of bird this is?
