Grallator sp. - dinosaur footprints (concave epireliefs) from the Triassic of the Virginia-North Carolina border area, USA.
The Newark Supergroup is a thick, geographically-widespread stratigraphic unit in eastern America. It is Late Triassic to Early Jurassic in age and represents sediments and some lava flows that filled up old rift valleys roughly paralleling the modern-day Eastern Seaboard of America. The rift basins formed in the Triassic when the ancient Pangaea supercontinent attempted to break apart, but failed. A successful breakup of Pangaea occurred during the Jurassic. Most of the basin-filling rocks are terrestrial redbeds - hematite-rich siliciclastic sedimentary rocks, such as conglomerate, sandstone, siltstone, and shale, deposited in nonmarine environments.
Seen here is a part of a large block with dinosaur footprints identified as Grallator. The tracks were made by theropods, a group of medium-sized to very large, bipedal, carnivorous (predatory) dinosaurs. The host rock is hard, blocky, quartzose, fine-grained sandstone to siltstone.
Stratigraphy: Cow Branch Formation, Newark Supergroup, Upper Triassic
Locality: Solite Quarry - pits on the Virginia-North Carolina state line, east of Gant Road & north of Rt. 770 (= Berry Hill Road), east-northeast of town of Eden, Pittsylvania County & Rockingham County, southern Virginia & northern North Carolina, USA (vicinity of 36° 32’ 23.44” North latitude, 79° 40’ 22.54” West longitude)

Mele was anxious for someone to throw the ball.

This was the first time I was ever in Mount Prospect in my life. Thanks for closing when gas is damn near $4 a gallon, Borders! What I've saved in markdowns I've spent on gas!
Yep, we crossed the border on foot. There were signs directing hikers to proceed directly to Goat Haunt (4.5 miles away) to go through customs. When we got there, it was just two border patrol officers sitting at a picnic table checking passports.
Added some borders to bring my 12" block up to pillow size... might keep going and make it even bigger (around 20" now).
Blogged here.

Outlet mall in San Ysidro, CA. Behind it the border, Mexico and Tijuana
We had no need to shop. There was no Armani Exchange you see - talk about fashion clowns;) - no really, we had better things to do. I wanted (yearned is the better word) to go to Tijuna, but my companion needed a visa so we can't.

Closing Reception & Readings: October 6, 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM
Closing Conference: October 7, 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM
Southeast Asian Women in the Diaspora: Troubling Borders in Literature and Art is an exhibition and conference featuring the writings and artwork of Southeast Asian women in the diaspora, highlighting women of Cambodian, Laotian, Filipino and Vietnamese descent and by women who identify as the often stateless Mien, Hmong, and Cham. In the aftermath of the cold war, many of these women now reside in the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia, and other parts of the world. As an incredibly diverse group, their voices make visible the ruptures caused by colonization, war, globalization, and militarization.

For those of you who don't know, I just got back from a 22-day French television documentary shoot through the American West. I'll be uploading pix very soon.
