On a recent trip, we set out to photograph redbeds of the Gardner Canyon formation, look for fossils, and generally get out and have a good time in the mountians. There has been a lot of rain in the Santa Rita mountains this year, and the scenery was quite spectacular.
Although we did not find any fossils in the Gardner Canyon formation (and none have been reported to my knowledge), the green vegetation against the red rocks made for some nice photo ops. We also managed to ge a nice time lapse of storm clouds over the Santa Rita mountains. You can see that here.
We have started to make some general simplified correlations on our Mesozoic formations page as we continue working on our current video project.
With the August heat keeping us inside, we'll probably be udating old pages with links to high resolution images, and attempting to identify some of our previous finds.
Happy Trails...
