A wall of rock exposed in the Black Canyon of the Gunnison in western Colorado. The wall consists of dark grey-ish, Precambrian-age gneiss and schist dissected by bands of pink, granitic, also-Precambrian-age pegmatites (igneous intrusions that were injected into fractures in the gneiss long after it formed and while it was all still buried deep underground). The metamorphic rocks formed around 1.8 billion years ago, but existed as sedimentary rocks of undetermined age before being metamorphosed. The pegmatites, which include crystals upward of 2 m (6 ft.) in length, are a bit younger at around 1.35 billion years old. The green plant life at the top of the wall grows on mudstone exposures of the Upper Jurassic (~150 million year old) Morrison Formation, which has produced a few dinosaur fossils in the park.

Digital cel-shaded art of a wibbly wobbly Dickinsonia, a weird wobbly lifeform from before the Cambrian era. It looks like a floppy frisbee with bilateral lines sectioning its body into many gelatinous ribs. It lives underwater surrounded by fleshy ‘plants’, including orange charnia with spots and neon green hylaecullulus. Since I’ve interpreted Dickinsonia as a transparent creature, the other life forms can be fuzzily seen through its body. This little scene is set on an isometric square chunk of sandy seafloor.
