School Park One of the early teachers (sorry, I no longer remember her name) enjoyed teaching the children about our native plants. She convinced the powers that be to cede this area to the school, and brought her classes here to learn about them first hand. Unfortunately she moved away and no one took up her lead. The area had already fallen into neglect when I took these photos in 2007.  The area the children saw on arrival.  location of the park from the school.  As seen from the air.  A closer look at the remains of the 1856 business.  A view of the park from the city pumping station. the path to the park was already grown over with grass and weeds in 2007.  The History Plaque at the base of the Monument.  The Monumebt.  The Blast Furnace used to make the locally needed iron items.  The Blast Furnace plaque.  The Coke Oven Plaque.  2007 remains of the Coke Oven. Most of the rocks had been hauled away for other uses.  The park continues to deteriorate as the sun fades the signs and plaques beyond legibility.   |

Dino Dung and Beetles Very Informative crosb.proboards.com/post/2303/threadcrosb.proboards.com/post/2305/threadRandy Anderson of Layton Utah heard about our rock cabinet and wanted to share his insights into dinosaur activity here in ancient Utah.  He sent the large book ends he had cut years ago (the red numbers are the order in which he sent the photographs).  Native Americans made tools and weapons such as spear and arrow points, knives, axes, scrapers, etc out of flint, obsidian, agate, jasper, and even petrified dinosaur dung.  A well flaked Core.  Native   Plants had to evolve on land to supply food for animals to be able to evolve on land. Animal digestive systems broke plants down into material suitable for beetles and other creatures to survive and evolve on.  Dung beetle life style.  Drying cracks and dung beetle tunnels.  More. Is there a beetle carcass in there somewhere?  Scientists find pollen that helps them identify what plants they were eating!
This specimen shows dung beetle dung packed in their tunnels!
 Small gastroliths (gizzard stones) are scattered throughout this piece. Randy will send some with larger stones when he can get down through the snow ro find them.  A slice of Lilac trunk from my property.  A cross-section of an ancient twig still identifiable here.  A photo from Randy's private collection.  A good question is "How did that agate get in there?" The Petrification and Permineralization Process.  Photo by Lynn Dalton.  Randy's main hunting ground is north of Ticaboo Utah.  The Geology of the area -  What it looked like back then.  |

 Nice little diamond in the roughage in that one! Yes, and it's interesting to note that it's calcite, not agate. I see this pattern often enough I'd rate it as common in these things. I was just involved with that on another thread. Which molecules are the most solvent and which drop out of solution first? - SiO2 is nearly insoluble BUT quakes shatter it and water gloms onto those shattered ions by the ton!    |
