Looking at a rock outcrop on a wooded slope just about 0.1 mi / 0.16 km southeast of the park’s northern entrance. This locale lies to the southwest of the park road. My stylistically trend-setting headwear provides the scale at this no-hammers site.
Here I’ve continued to walk down the face of the outcrop and am now some distance from the asymmetrical folds shown and described in Part 6.
In this essay I’m building on what I’ve discussed in Part 6 (see the link directly above) and Part 7. If the technical terms used below are perplexing, refer to those posts, where I define them.
This spot in particular really highlights the alternating layers of the upper portion of the Baraboo Quartzite. This famous formation was metamorphosed into its present form around 1.47 Ga ago, in the Mesoproterozoic. Its S0 fabric consists of the deposition strata of:
- what was originally shale and mudstone transformed into phyllite, which is darker and especially favored by the lichens, and
- what originally was quartz sandstone turned into maroon metaquartzite; in this locale it's been deformed into strings of rather quadrangular “chocolate tablet” boudins.
My cap rests directly on the uppermost phyllite layer; its brim touches one of the chocolate tablets. That section of the quartzite has been bulged and stretched by tensional forces, and the more ductile phyllite has molded itself to conform to the puckers and hollows. Close scrutiny reveals a little of the S1 slaty cleavage in the phyllite, but, truth to tell, it’s much more evident in the Part 7 photo.

These exposures in Dinosaur National Monument, Utah consist of structurally tilted, Jurassic-aged sedimentary rocks. The rocks in the middle and top are part of the Glen Canyon Sandstone (Upper Triassic to Lower Jurassic), a local name for the Navajo Sandstone (also known as the Nugget Sanstone). The Glen Canyon/Navajo/Nugget is an eolian quartzose sandstone representing a widespread desert sand dune deposit - an erg facies.
Stratigraphy: Glen Canyon Sandstone, Upper Triassic to Lower Jurassic)
Locality: Fossil Discovery Trail area (view from Carnegie Quarry), western Dinosaur National Monument, northern Uintah County, northeastern Utah, USA

Leading the majors on their Structural Geology Field Mapping Problem in Pennsylvania. Visible are Sean , Alicja , me (yellow pack), Ryan, Chris, Melissa. Handheld photo by Natalie R.. I'll be busy with field work for the next two months.
The eastern wall of the southern part of the warehouse has collapsed exposing the wood framing and contents to the outside. Bales of hay and some other items have been exposed to the elements for several years. I'm not sure how this happen but I'll propose a method - the roof was compromised first, allowing rain to enter, swelling the stored hay and pushing out the wall. A south wind would then catch the north half of the wall and bend it to its current position.

The de Young Museum originated as the Fine Arts Building, which was constructed in Golden Gate Park for the California Midwinter International Exposition in 1894. In 1989 the de Young suffered significant structural damage as a result of the Loma Prieta earthquake. An open architectural selection process took place from 1998 to 1999. The resulting design by the Swiss architectural firm Herzog & de Meuron weaves the museum into the natural environment of the park. . The new de Young opened on October 15, 2005, and provides open and light-filled spaces that facilitate and enhance the art-viewing experience. Historic elements from the former de Young, such as the sphinxes, the original palm trees, and the Pool of Enchantment, were retained or reconstructed at the new museum
“4me4you” visits Carroll / Fletcher Gallery which featured “Looking at one thing and thinking of something else An Exhibition in Four Parts.
Carroll / Fletcher Gallery ..>Artists: Basel Abbas and Ruanne Abou-Rahme, Joshua Citarella, James Clar, Constant Dullaart, Michael Joaquin Grey, Natascha Sadr Haghighian, Mishka Henner, Justin Hibbs, Christine Sun Kim, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, Eva and Franco Mattes, Manfred Mohr, Evan Roth, Thomson & Craighead, UBERMORGEN, Eulalia Valldosera, Richard T. Walker, John Wood and Paul Harrison.
NOW: Michael Joaquin Grey's ZOOB (which stands for Zoology, Ontology, Ontogeny, and Botany) is an open-ended play system featuring five basic elements that snap together in twenty different ways. The elements are limb like and joint like, and there are numerous ways to connect them into complex, organic, movable models. The shapes are inspired by nucleotides, the basic structural units of DNA. Inspired by Frobel's Gifts and Occupations, ZOOB advances an organic and holistic conception of play and learning based on body empathy and the language of living systems. .
4me4you..>I walk into one of my favourite installation Gallery's, and it never seizes to amaze me another fantastic hands on installation. A series of small pieces for you too construct with instructions..- SUGGESTION -..go&see and gets hands.. “Michael Joaquin Grey's” ZOOB.
