We’ve succeeded in accomplishing the goals I had set for the season – at least for this field area – and still have one more day in the field.
We dug some trenches, for color analysis of the rocks.
And had a long discussion about a particular rock. So tell me, what does this rock look like to you?
We’ve been rained on a lot, and will probably get rained on again before we’re done.
What’s everyone else up to this summer?

I think that rock looks like a lion who did a faceplant, with an owl sitting on his head.
I’m not a geologist, but I’m guessing it rolled in from somewhere else. It doesn’t strike me as something hard that was revealed by the softer surrounding material weathering away.
Interesting texture. It’s not petrified wood, is it?
As for my summer, work’s been keeping me busy, plus I’m looking into buying a house closer to where my son will be attending college. But right now I’m getting gear together to attend a shooting event in New England.
