Every Rock Tells a Story



I've been told that one of the tenets of geology is that "every rock tells a story." A few months ago, I took these photos on the same spot at Red Rock Ranch, one looking down and the other looking out. The first photo shows fossilized holes, where ancient worms worked their way through seabottom and seashore mud. Now that ancient seabottom is at the top of a mountain in the middle of a desert, hundreds of miles from the ocean.
