Extensive, ripple-mark-covered surface at the top of the Upper Triassic (roughly 220-210 million years old) Shinarump Conglomerate Member of the Chinle Formation near St. George, Utah. Disappointingly, there's not a fossil footprint or other ichnite anywhere on this surface that I could find!

This was quite a moment. In Canyon de Chelly National Monument, I took a canyon tour with a Guide.

This location is the White House Ruins. I created this image by stitching together numerous photographs. I had to lay on the ground to catch the sky. Standing at the foot of this massive cliff, at this ancient site, was a moment I will carry evermore.
