Prelude
The time has come to wrap-up the semester. This final lab activity is a review of much of the imagery you've seen, from minerals to rocks to landscape. Just think of this semester as the beginning of a journey into a bigger, wider world of geocience.

Melissa surveys the geology to the north and west from Skeleton Point, located about 3 miles down the South Kaibab Trail atop massive cliffs of Redwall Limestone (left). While field mapping in the Agua Fria National Monument, Bonnie and Patrick make their way along the bottom of the Agua Fria River gorge (center). Todd helps students navigate the entrance to the Lava River cave near Flagstaff (right). Remember to click on the highlighted images to see larger versions. |
