John Day Fossil Beds Nat. Monument - Painted Hills

Wikipedia Commons Image

This is a very impressive set of samples! S. Michael sent me nine samples from this beautiful place. I attempted to find the proper sequence for the samples, but didn't succeed. The samples are displayed in the order I photographed them. At the bottom I put the samples together in a pseudo stratigraphic column. Enjoy!
