Morton, Minnesota 56270

(Photos)

TO MY DELIGHT I ENCOUNTERED: a slab of gneiss!, at rest atop a larger mass of gneiss.
In gneiss, these riverine potholes harbor "special"-style plant communities.
Memories Paleoarchean Neoarchean.
These were INTERMINGLED MEMORIES of primoridial goings-on deep underground, 3.5 billion years ago and 2.6 billion years ago.
O'erlooking the Minnesota River Valley was an outcrop of fluvially-eroded gneiss.
This one takes me back to the good old days, 3.5 billion years ago.
Up a mass of lichensy gneiss, a diagonal crack got filled-in with herbaceous plants.
