Samples

As a pre-dinner snack, we visted downtown San Vicente to sample
chipirones, rabas, navajas, anchos, boquerones en vinagre, and chorizo
a la sidra.

Tidal Systems

The modern tidal system in San Vicente. The tide range here is about
10-feet, and is just starting to come in. The tidal flats on the right represent an environment we have seen a number of times now on the rock record.

Nummulites

A benthic foram in an Eocene limestone.

Flaser Bedfing

Tree Trunk

Angular Unconformity

Here we are standing on the brown Permian sandstone that overlies the
Gray Carboniferous we see in the distance uncomformably.

Glacial Landforms

A great example of a U-shaped valley carved out by Alpine glaciation.
