About my home page photo The photo I have chosen to appear throughout my web pages was taken in the Cathedral Valley District of Capitol Reef National Park, south-central Utah, on the 2008 San Rafael/Capitol Reef Field Excursion. It shows me twirling my rock hammer in the air like a baton, something I occasionally do while in the field. But more importantly, the photo also shows the strata of the Brushy Basin Member of the Jurassic Morrison Formation in the bluff in the background, deposited within the mid-continental Jurassic Sundance Sea. The Morrison Formation contains dinosaur bones in places. For more on such matters, visit the Cleveland-Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry near Price, Utah, as we did on this trip, or check out their web site.
