Day-tripped to Grand Canyon NPS and hiked down to the Colorado River via Hermit’s Rest Trail. So much to take in along the way. Last photo is a fossilized tetrapod track from the Permian era. 🏜️

Had a little break to see ‘em fossils under a microscope. It’s full of chinois columns and bryozoan

One of my favorite rocks is limestone, primarily composed of calcium carbonate (CaCO3). This chunk I found near Payson, AZ, is from a shallow tropical sea 350-million-year-old. It’s called the Redwall Limestone and rich in fossils formed from reefs and marine life 🌊🪸🪨 #Geology #Ocean #Fossil

Even though I live in Phoenix and endure biking in 46°C (115°F) heat for my involuntary summer commute, the cold never bothered me anyway 😎 #mysecretsuperpowers

Last weekend, on the way to Sedona, I found a spot filled with crane petroglyphs. I’ve only seen cranes in south of Tucson, so it was cool to learn that they were there at some point in central Arizona as well #rockart
