Dark-colored sandstone at top = Peerless Formation
Light-colored sandstone = Sawatch Sandstone
Pinkish rocks just above road level = Pikes Peak Granite
The rock record does not completely document Earth's history. In stratigraphic sections, missing time is represented by unconformities - surfaces of erosion and/or non-deposition of sediments. There are four types of unconformities: paraconformities, disconformities, nonconformities, and angular unconformities.
Seen here is the Precambrian-Cambrian unconformity at Manitou Springs, Colorado. The slightly tilted layers in the upper part of the photo are Cambrian sandstones. The underlying, non-layered, pinkish-colored rocks just above road level are part of the Pikes Peak Granite. About one-half a billion years is missing at the contact. Erosion surfaces such as this that have sedimentary rocks over igneous rocks are called nonconformities.
This contact is a megasequence boundary - the base of the Sauk Megasequence. Regionally recognizable packages of sedimentary rocks bounded by major unconformities are known as megasquences, or Sloss sequences (named after geologist L.L. Sloss, 1913-1996). The bounding unconformities were caused by erosion during regressions. Continental margins have more complete sedimentary successions, whereas craton interiors have more incomplete successions. The names for North America's megasequences are (from oldest to youngest): Sauk, Tippecanoe, Kaskaskia, Absaroka, Zuni, and Tejas.

view from inside, looking up. Wish I'd thought to take a picture of it in its previous grungy state. All of those little holes? That's where the hot air goes. At least half of them were plugged shut.
19 Year-old Tilahun Regassa from Ethiopia absolutely SMOKED the field at today's 7-mile Falmouth Road Face on Cape Cod. He ran the race in 31 minutes, 41 seconds. That's a 4:31/mile pace. When he passed me (as in ran-past-the place I was standing-as-a-spectator) at the 6-mile point, you couldn't even see the guy in second place behind him.

A very plain Swiss Made watch issued to Victorian Railway Employees. A highly criticised timepiece proved itself as a robust and reliable timepiece and now a part of Victorian Railways history. Mine takes a full wind and keeps excellent time.
