Hell Creek Formation?
831928
Montana State University in Bozeman does a significant amount of research on the Hell Creek Formation through the Museum of the Rockies, and Dr. Jack Horner's work.  Makoshika State Park also encompasses portions of the Glendive area of the formation.  The state geologic map shows the surface area, and looking in the southeast corner of the map you'll see the intrusion stretching up from the South Dakota border through to Glendive, as well as the areas south of Miles City.  Hope that helps.

Not likely. The reason is that most of the drainage of the American River is coming from metamorphic terranes. \n\nI don't have a very good geologic map of that area, but you are only likely to find geodes where they have weathered out of extrusive igneous rocks, like basalt flows, or in rhyolite beds (volcanic ash). If you can find an area that has volcanic rocks, other than the granitic plutons that are common in the Sierras, you might find some. I think you are more likely to find placer gold in that area than geodes. \n\nYou are fairly close to Sacramento and the California State Geological Survey sells a printed map of the states surficial geology. You can buy a paper geology map for any part of California from them at:\nhttp://home.att.net/~amcimages/mozley.html\nhttp://www.consrv.ca.gov/CGS/information/publications/pub_index/products_that_we_sell.htm\n\nI think to find geodes you are going to have to go over the hill to the east side of the Sierras, or head north towards Shasta. \n\nGood luck.\n\nHere's an interesting link to a Washington geode collector:\nhttp://www.washington-state-rockhounding.info/red-top-cliffs-collecting.htm\nHere's a locale near Blythe:\nhttp://www.desertusa.com/magjan98/stories/hauserbeds.html

There is an area near me called "Devil's Punchbowl" It's literally a big hole missing from a mountain that is HUGE. THere is a lookout point and you cannot see the bottom. There is a giant cross erected year round and lit up at night, it can be seen from miles around. I dunno if I would call it inspiration since drunken/high/suicidal/all of the above--- teenagers fall to their death there..\nI will have to ask about the permits and get back to you =)))

Naw, never heard of them, but I'd like to. If you would, post a link if they have a website. The name is pretty b!itchin', all in itself.

It is the dawn of a new season for the sasquatch.I think now thru around mid june is a good time to set eyes on one based on the thing coming down to feed.I found a picture of hair samples from last season's sightings that can not be explained that I know of.Also a couple lawmen sighted one they claimed in I think it was colorodo.

Cool. I hope you found some good ammonites. You may have been in the Cretaceous Western Interior Seaway, which once connected what we now call the Gulf of Mexico to what is now the Arctic Ocean. The Pierre Shale is full of clams, ammonites, and baculites. \n\nThe Western Interior Paleontological Society has some good publications:\nhttp://www.wipsppc.com/#\nHere is link to a Pierre Shale field trip of the WIPS in Colorado:\nhttp://www.paleocurrents.com/baculite_mesa/index.html\n\nHere is an awesome website put together by Dr. Ron Blakey at NAU. For your interests, the first place to start would be paleogeography of the Southwestern US, which has paleogeographic maps of each major period (that include southern Colorado):\nhttp://jan.ucc.nau.edu/rcb7/paleogeogwus.html\nThe top page of his site is at:\nhttp://jan.ucc.nau.edu/rcb7/\n\nYou might also want to buy a copy of "Roadside Geology of Colorado". This series of books is written by geologists who are familiar with the state they write about and describe the geologic features that can be found along the major highways. Here's the cite:\nChronic, H. 1980. Roadside geology of Colorado. Mountain Press Publ. Co., Missoula, Montana, 334 p.\n\nThe Colorado Geological Survey sells a map for $7 that is titled "Colorado Geologic Highway Map" that shows lots of geology information, as well as a lot of other high quality geology related publications:\nhttp://dnr.state.co.us/geostore/ProductInfo.aspx?productid=MI-38\n\nHere is the USGS page for Colorado:\nhttp://www.usgs.gov/state/state.asp?State=CO\n\n\nEnjoy.

California and the area around Death Valley is a very active seismological region.  It is one of the hottest, driest, lowest places on the surface of the planet.  I think the "racetrack" rocks may be moving due to a magnetic field prevalent in the area.  Especially if the rocks are iron ore (I don't know.).  The other explanations and theories I've read just don't make any sense.\n\nIn any case, here's some great pictures:\n\nhttp://www.billandcori.com/deathvalley/dv_moving_rocks.htm

Geologists state that 200 million years ago a series of 'bucklings' caused by shifting tectonic plates created the Appalachian chain of mountains, which run from Tennessee across the Canadian Border. The Catskills are a portion of this plateau which simply "refused to go along." Their bedrock refused to "buckle". Instead this bedrock rose up by easy stages from the shallow sea in which its rocks (sedimentary?) had been formed (deposited?) from ancient mountains to the east. Raised high in the air the plateau became easy prey to the cutting action of the streams which carried off the plateau's rainwater. The plateau was carved up over 100's of thousands of years...the tough, hardest parts remained while the softer material was disposed of by various erosion techniques and actions including frost, water action and wind. Geologists explain the Catskills are simply a tough part of the Allegheny Plateau which the streams, even with the help of frost and gravity have not yet cut down to size. Over vast geologic time, of course, these forces will do away with the whole thing. In the meantime, scientifically speaking, the Catskills should be described as 'a maturely dissected part of the Allegheny Plateau".

Hell's 1/2 acre is in Wyoming.\nhttp://images.search.yahoo.com/search/images/view?back=http%3A%2F%2Fimages.search.yahoo.com%2Fsearch%2Fimages%3Fp%3Dwyoming%2Bmap%2Bhell%2527s%2Bhalf%2Bacre%26ei%3DUTF-8%26fr%3DFP-tab-img-t364%26x%3Dwrt&w=200&h=200&imgurl=www.milebymile.com%2Fmaps%2Froad_map_of_Wyoming.jpg&rurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.milebymile.com%2Fmain%2Funited_states%2FWyoming%2Fphoto_23906.html&size=6.1kB&name=road_map_of_Wyoming.jpg&p=wyoming+map+hell%27s+half+acre&type=jpeg&no=1&tt=5&ei=UTF-8\n\nwell, then there must be 2, because there is quite definitely one in wyoming.  And Devil's Tower!

I'm sorry, not enough information. You could go to the Yahoo search engine under images and enter hill or mountain image. You might find something or go back to the conference organizers for the name.

There is a list here, but it also has a description of the states:\n\nhttp://geology.about.com/od/stategeologicmaps/

A small county newspaper (15,000) outside Colorado Springs.\n\nIn fact, We're being threatened with a lawsuit by a former city councilman for a Brokeback Mountain parody last week. Sadly he's let his own homophobia blind him to the real spoof which was a huge city expansion project gone belly up (or Broken Back as the case goes.) TOO MUCH FUN!
