Pliensbachian coral reefs

The Dades Valley is a fantastic place to do geology! Stephane even gave his lecture "Texas style"!


Here there the a nice hike up to some Upper Pliensbachian coral reefs

To give you an idea what our target was, here's the outcrop...



That cliff has one huge reef in it, can you see it?

Oh and some herps!

Large Phaceloid coral colonies!

corals everywhere!


there is also some very nice microbialite!

Science stopped for Nomads!


Stromatoporoids are here too!


And a very pretty little echinoid!

View from the top!

So much work to do! Very exciting!
