Week of February 20th
UNITED STATES SAMPLES = 30 INTERNATIONAL SAMPLES = 26
What a great week! We've hit and passed 50 samples! That's 10% of the way to our goal of 500! It took a month and a half to get there so I'm going to be positive and say that we are almost on target to do this! There are samples from Maine, Mississippi, South Carolina, a fossiliferous sample from Kentucky, and a sample from Puerto Rico. Enjoy! Be sure to check out the samples from Antarctica! I have posted ten samples from the US Polar Rock Repository at The Ohio State University. Those folks were kind enough to lend me ten samples from their collection. Note: All sand images, unless otherwise noted, were taken at the "3X" setting on the macro lens which translates to a magnification of approximately 9.2 times. Fossil samples are usually not macro images because of their large size.
