Barry, your link to USGS is busted — try http://www.nps.gov/history/history/online_books/geology/publications/bul/1508/images/fig61.jpg
1981? What’s the matter, markets keeping you from sleeping at night?
This is the absolute last place I would have ever expected to see this.
Thanks for keeping the unexpected as a standard part of the site.

OK, so not busted. Funny, the first time I clicked on it, it 404′d.
Oh. Looking at the timestamp, I musta clicked on it as it was in the process of being posted.
