Ten Sleep Canyon

 

Recently visited Ten Sleep Canyon in Wyoming.  Here I found some interesting rocks in Ten Sleep Creek.

 

Every Spring new rocks are exposed.

Some very interesting patterns

Above the creek, the canyon walls have many types of stone.

And the Canyon has caves...

Few more rocks

Tiny nugget but tremendously beautiful!

Boulder in the Bighorn Mountains of Wyoming

Black rocks found in desert south of Wind River Canyon, Wyoming

Weathered quartz with unusual pattern

Creekbed specimen found in mountains by Ten Sleep, Wyoming which consists mostly of clay and sandstone.

More rocks I've found in Wyoming

Petrified Wood beginning to agatize. Found south of Wind River Canyon, Wyoming.

Now why didn't I bring this rock home? It has such an amazing pattern.
Oh yeah, thats right -- I'm trying to leave the huge specimens at home since I live in a small apartment! (Besides, I already have several hundred pounds of rocks!)

Green River Rocks

This beauty I found in Hot Springs County, Wyoming in a creek.

This third image is with the stone wet.  I did not tweak the color in any of these photos; I only sharpened the images to improve their clarity.

As can be seen, these rocks are considerably large and perfectly smooth and orb shaped -- I would love to see them as edging around a garden, a woodland path, etc...
