Today we looked at several other gypsum outcrops. This gypsum was different because it had been transported in large underwater flows called turbidites. In some places large gypsum crystals had grown into beautiful disks and "roses" in the rocks when they were still mud. Then the rocks were buried and heated turning the gypsum into 
alabaster.In one field locality a slow landslide was causin
g the road to crack and slump leaving impressive deformation in a few years time.
Today we were home for lunch as reports are due
tomorrow and we needed some time to get work done.
