The Gulf Coast Formation

4. Seven and three
Seven gneiss and granite rocks to represent seven
periods of Paleozoic Era and the Paleozoic bedrock of
the Gulf Coast Formation.
Three divisions of granite and gneiss laid in a symbolic form of
mountainous terrain to represent the Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and
Cenozoic Eras in which the Gulf Coast was formed.

5. Three cement stones
Quaternary- Holocene-pottery sherds
Tertiary- Miocene- shark teeth
Tertiary- Oligocene- limestone fossils
Cretaceous- chalk laid in the salt dome
formation from the Jurassic

6. Transgressions and regressions of the
sea during the Paleozoic
sand
limestone
shale

7. Relearning and Researching: Where do I sit?

8. lunch time : gathering rocks

9. unloading the rocks

10. cleaning the rocks

11. shoveling sand, limestone, and shale…

12. And consulting with Dr. Bryan – again.

13. Making cement stones…

14. Still making cement stones

15. Site selection

16. In the dark with wet cement stones
under the plastic containers
