Sand Dunes
in Death Valley:
I have never
been to sand dunes. My wife was surprised as I brought this up to her. However,
all my experiences from dunes exist in my mind either from video games, or television.
My interpretation tells me that only sand exists. Mounds and mounds of it.
However, looking up additional information of sand dunes in the Death Valley
have shown me otherwise. One image in particular really caught my attention.
Rested between two dunes shows concrete colored rocks, flat, and resting
partially buried in the sand. Their shape appears to have layers reminiscent of
sediment layers you might find in a cliff side, although very compressed. This
rock is very intriguing to me and I would like to carbon date it to see how old
it is. I would also like to study any rock below the sand, no matter how far
below the sand. Finally, I would like to compare this dune rock, to rock at the
nearest cliff and exposed sediment layers.
