Thank you to everyone who attended our Geology Walkabout on Saturday, October 25th!

To recap, twenty enthusiastic participants met at the Shoshone Museum early Saturday morning. After a Geology 101 review of our local rocks, we drove to outcrops of the ~ 1.3 billion year old Crystal Spring Formation hosting stromatolites (remnants of ancient sea life - minerals deposited by cyanobacteria - think plaque on your teeth).

At a second stop, we discussed possible huge stromatolites in the Noonday Dolomite and learned about the Snowball Earth hypothesis. What a whirlwind of ancient history!

If you enjoyed the walkabout, please watch for others in the future. Check out the website of Friends of the Amargosa Basin and consider attending our upcoming events:

We are looking forward to seeing you tomorrow morning for our latest geology walkabout! 🪨🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️

The focus for this excursion will be exploring evidence of early life on Earth 🌍. Wondered what creatures once roamed the ancient seabed 🌊🐚that now lies beneath your feet? Come find out!

We are meeting at the Shoshone Museum at 8:30 am (118 CA-127, Shoshone, CA 92384) and will carpool over to the Western Talc mine and another nearby stop. The walk is expected to be over at 12:30 pm.

If you want to stick around, consider heading over to China Ranch Date Farm , Kit Fox Cafe, and Death Valley Brewing in Tecopa for food, drinks, and local treats!

Please note, there will be some hiking involved on this walkabout. Please wear sturdy hiking shoes🥾, a hat🎩, sunscreen, bring plenty of water (2-3 liters per person recommended), and salty snacks. It will be warm, but not too hot. ☀️
