Everyone knows that Arkansas is a gorgeous State, but it is also wonderful place to visit if you love geology. Here are some pictures taken on the banks of Lake Catherine, a locality near Hot Springs. Two of the pictures show intensly folded strata resulting from plate tectonics and the resultant building of the Ouachita Mountains. The man in the red jacket is Dr. Ron Konig, former head of the geology department at the University of Arkansas. The man in the red cap is John Rogers, co-author of a famous geology textbook. Also present are several other geologists whose names I can't recall. The bridge picture is actually in the Ozarks, but still gorgeous. http://www.ericwilder.com http://ericwilder.blogspot.com http://energyissues.modblog.com http://justeastofeden.myblogsite.com
