Almost a year blogging hiatus. I just don't find the time to write sophisticated blog posts on things that are interesting enough. The last year has been pretty busy and there are several manuscripts under review, in preparation or whatever. As soon as some stuff is finally published, I will share some potentially intersting results here. For the time being, take a look at some photographs that I took on the field season last year. In August 2010, I spent four weeks in the western U.S. to get more data on Early Triassic ecosystems from western Pangaea. It's, of course, not purely geologic. Fieldwork is always an experience. Enjoy the shots!
These are the guys I am looking for. I prepare the plates
for later publications directly in the field, haha.

Although fully overgrown, these are textbook-like triangular fault
facets and an alluvial fan in between. This seems to be a very
prominent example. It pops out of the internet here and there.
