Familiar fields and ground. Dropped off some work in Wichita yesterday and decided to make a day trip through central Kansas. I find the Dakota geology of the high plains so interesting. 10 million year old + rocks hide underneath a thin veil of soil and often crop out on the sides of hills exposing variegated layers of red, yellow and white under green grass and grain. Hidden within these rocks is fossilized leaf litter that was laid down in the muddy soils of ancient marshlands, forests, river banks, estuaries and beach like habitats.
