Monday Geology Picture: Mudcracks

 

Mudcracks, with my foot for scale.

Here is a delightful picture of some mudcracks, taken during somewhere in the western USA in Fall 2005 when I was on my undergraduate field program “The Stretch.” I don’t remember exactly where this picture was taken, but I recently found it again in my folder of field camp photos. I think this picture also shows little round imprints from a recent light rainfall on the mud– what do you think?

  1. What’s really cool is you have mudcracks inside your mudcracks along with the raindrop impressions. Mind if I show this to my classes?

    1. Sure, please feel free to use the picture. Just credit me as the photographer and provide a link to my blog. Thanks! Where do you teach, by the way?

  2. Will do both no problem. I teach at St. Petersburg College in the Tampa Bay area of Florida. We’re sort if a hybrid open enrollment/4 year school.
