Call for Posts: Accretionary Wedge #43, “my favorite geological illustration”

Last November I wrote about my favorite geological illustration, a striking aerial view of the Black Hills from the report of the 1875 Newton Jenny Expedition.  Ron Schott of the Geology Home Companion Blog asked if I would host an Accretionary Wedge on the topic.  "Of course!" I replied.  (I hope there are no other plans for AW#43 out there ... if so, please let me know).

All types of geological illustrations qualify -- drawings, paintings, maps, charts, graphs, cross-sections, diagrams, etc., but not photographs.  You might choose something because of its impact, its beauty, its humor, its clear message or perhaps because of a special role it played in your life.  Let us know the reasons for your choice!

You can leave a link to your post as a Comment below, or if you don’t have a blog, a link to the illustration with an explanation.  I’ll include everything in a roundup at the end of the month (deadline is February 29).

Geological illustrations currently on display at the
University of Wyoming Geology Museum.

    I've given up on blogging until I can get a new computer, but I posted this on Twitter... hope this works. https://twitter.com/#!/lockwooddewitt/status/174232560111587329/photo/1

    After feeling uninspired on this one — there are so many! — I woke up this morning and realized that my most precious illustration has been sitting in the corner of my office for almost 20 years. I wish I'd scanned it when I had access to a large format scanner; hokey digital photo will have to do.

    I'm not a geo-blogger, but I jumped on the theme anyway.
