Another type of metate called a grinding slab may also be found among boulder or exposed bedrock outcroppings. The upper face of the stone is used for grinding materials, such as acorns, that results in the smoothing of the stone's face and the creation of pocked dimples.
Tightening the girth, or cinch, of a western saddle. Several types of girth are shaped to allow ample room for the elbows. The Balding style is a flat piece of leather cut into three strips which are crossed and folded in the center, and the Atherstone style is a shaped piece of baghide with a roughly 1.5” wide strip of stronger leather running along the center.
Etchplain – Plain where the bedrock has been subject to considerable subsurface weathering; Floodplain – Land adjacent to a water body which is flooded during periods of high water; Fluvial terrace – Elongated terraces that flank the sides of floodplains and river valleys; Inselberg plain – Isolated, steep rock hill on relatively flat ...
Large areas of bedrock are broken up into blocks by faults. Blocks are characterized by relatively uniform lithology. The largest of these fault blocks are called crustal blocks. Large crustal blocks broken off from tectonic plates are called terranes. [1] Those terranes which are the full thickness of the lithosphere are called microplates.
Both the 'Union Internationale de Spéléologie' (UIS) and the American 'National Speleological Society' (NSS), extensively use in their publications, the terms "dolomite" or "dolomite rock" when referring to the natural bedrock containing a high percentage of CaMg(CO 3) 2 in which natural caves or solution tubes have formed.

Make sure you anchor the band to something secure and steady.” Whether you're attaching the band to a door frame, pole, or your foot, double-check the anchor point to avoid it snapping loose ...
Parent material is the underlying geological material (generally bedrock or a superficial or drift deposit) in which soil horizons form. Soils typically inherit a great deal of structure and minerals from their parent material, and, as such, are often classified based upon their contents of consolidated or unconsolidated mineral material that has undergone some degree of physical or chemical ...
