MikeD Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 This is one of my favorite haunts in Arkansas... It's theonly place that I have ever found 3 mosasaur verts within a few feet of each other coming out of the side of one of those mounds. Dan, please don't say you know right where it is? Hmmm... I've got a couple of ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tracer Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 this is eocene igneous, but i am told the columnar jointing occurred because it cooled slowly underground, which means it was covered by cretaceous material, which later washed away.

Boesse Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 I hope you do not mind I copied these pics to my file b/c in the winter I like to draw old houses, barns and scenic pics. Your pictures are absolutely stunning. I would love to collect more pictures from you when ever the mood strikes you. You have a very good eye for capturing just the right details. Please feel free to e mail me with pics. I myself try to get good pics to draw but I do not have the finesse that you seem to have with the camera. Bravo Ya, no problem! I love showing off my field areas - one reason I can't wait to fly back to SF for winter break. You should post up some of your artwork - I've been doing artwork (what I would consider good; it was mainly absolute sh__ up until midway through high school) for about eight years or so. I should post some up here, come to think of it. Bobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mommabetts Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Hawkeye, is that in the desert, in a dry lake? Blown up the pic looks cool. I would have to look at all the rocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Hawkeye, is that in the desert, in a dry lake? Blown up the pic looks cool. I would have to look at all the rocks. That was in Wyoming in some flats. I'm guessing there was water in the springtime but it was dry by the time we got there. The wind had carved everything out.

lawooten Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Here is a pic from another dig we did. My husband says you don't do a good job till you get it all over you. Hawkeye I am going to file your pic too. I hope the rest of you folks don't mind me copying your pics that I like to my file for later drawings? Hawkeye I marked that bag for your son with blue ink.

lawooten Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 (edited) My good friend "Boo Boo The Dog" chillin' in the creek as Brock and I hunted the elusive Triarthrus sp.. I did not see the Lab at first but what a drawing I could do with this. I have collected every scenic pic you have all posted for future drawings.
