Hope no one minds, but I felt we have to have a new topic, right from the start, as a compendium of all the Factual Observations on this incredible structure...this Mother Ship from another world...this...(who said Burgess Shale? I laughed at that at the time.
 ) Who will start us off with a detailed description of what we see before us TODAY February 5, 2006 - Super Sunday.(I'll be running from game to Exploratorium all afternoon!

Really sweet!
It seems drivers are very, very aggressive: almost 30deg inclination from sideview! They are climbing to the top, apparently (you can see the plateau now)...

QUOTE (dilo @ Feb 7 2006, 08:54 PM) If you notice a strange thing, which is visible on le big dark loose rock on the left, and also on other places more to the left: it is as if spherical volumes of strata were missing. Even if you look well at the left, a spherical volume is missing, and the strata are folded, as if they had formed around a spherical object. I am not sure, but it looks that these layers contained something like giant blueberries, but which are no more in place today, because they were eliminated by erosion or something else. |

Could these voids not be cause by aeolian errosion sandblasting out a void? I've seen something similiar in the rocks around Colorado Springs. -------------------- -- Robin
