*Scree is a collection of broken rock fragments at the base of crags, mountain cliffs, volcanoes or valley shoulders that has accumulated through periodic rockfall from adjacent cliff faces. Landforms associated with these materials are often called talus deposits. Talus deposits typically have a concave upwards form, while the maximum inclination corresponds to the angle of repose of the mean debris size.

I only have a sand collection because of the very generous friends and coworkers I have! They travel and bring me some incredible bags of sand! Jim even gave me a detailed map!

Yellowstone National Park

Yellowstone National Park, Northern Entrance. The North Entrance is located in Gardiner, Montana, 50 miles south of Livingston, Montana at Interstate 90. The closest airport is Bozeman, Montana, approximately 85 miles from the entrance.

I collected two samples, one just inside the northern entrance on a curve in the road where Robin and I found two buffalo walking in the middle of the road. The other at the Roosevelt Arch, completed on August 15, 1903, the massive stone structure offers a glimpse into the park’s early years.
