Snowing Utah


Nov. 7th, 2011.
It was all white outside, covering with snow when I woke up in the Suite in Torrey, Utah.
We decided  still going to check the field, see if there is any field work could be done.
Not much snow there because of dropping elevation and higer tempreture. But enough for stopping us working for the day. And we headed back to the hotel.
Three wild turkeys were spotted on our way back.
Just not in a great mood of appreciating the scene of snowed world here.
However, it did made me recalled some childhood memory.
Making snow and soil rolls is one of  the most unforgetble things that I have ever done.

                                                               Wave Ripples  Wave ripples are characterized by symetrical profile to the wave crest.This is taken in July 13th 2011 in Eric's study area where Pa.6 is interpreted as wave influenced, fluival-dominated delta front deposits.                                                                2-D Current Ripple Picture was taken in Summiyah's area. Relative straight crests make them 2-D ripples. The asymetrical profile is diagnostic of current ripples.                                                                 3-D Current Ripples Picture was taken in Dan Fix's study area in Henry Wash. The sinous crests make them 3-D ripples.  Fluival channel and floodplain deposits are interpreted in the upper Ferron Sandstone.                                                     Current Ripple Cross Lamination Current ripple cross lamination shows a unidirectional dipping pattern, which indicates the paleoflow directio
