Colorado boulder geology Videos

This image was targeted to cover part of a small “chaos” terrain, where there are lots of steep slopes. A closeup shows a boulder or block casting a long shadow, at the end of a boulder trail down the slope, and we can see it moved from upper left to middle right. The trail has a odd repeating pattern, as if the boulder couldn't roll straight due to its shape. The sun angle and shadow length indicate the boulder is about 6 meters high, whereas its width as seen from overhead is only about 3.5 meters, so indeed it has an irregular shape. Furthermore, it came to rest with its long axis pointed up.

Very nice work. May I ask where you got your models. I am working on an interactive piece on tetrapod evolution and am looking for good models from that period. May I also ask what you are using for your development environment? Thanks

To late for my Haiku for Mars but I try neverteless: Bye bye planet Earth Hi Mars we are here to stay A blue spot in red Hubert De Smet Belgium.

Very cool animation. Some of the most picturesque mountains in colorado. 

Migratory birds and military aircraft--like during World War II--often fly in a V-shaped formation. The "V" formation greatly boosts the efficiency and range of flying birds, because all except the first fly in the upward motion of air--called upwash--from the wingtip vortices of the bird ahead. In this image of a dune field in a large crater near Mawrth Vallis, some of the dunes appear to be in formation ( //static.uahirise.org/images/2014/details/cut/ESP_034815_2035.jpg). For dune fields, the spacing of individual dunes is a function of sand supply, wind speed, and topography.
