"It was crawlin' and it stunk..." Before the winter rains. I'm sure the livestock and wildlife were happy to have it!

This style of crossbedding is traditionally interpreted as reflecting stream deposition, and hence a continental (rather than marine) environment.

At the mouth of an unnamed canyon to the west of the Seven Troughs Range, Pershing County, Nevada, USA. The larger canyons in lots of these dry-looking desert ranges generally have a little surface water locally--a spring or two, or even a small creek. At one point, probably in the early 20th century, the ranchers in the area built piping to carry water from these springs down to watering troughs for the livestock. Most of that infrastructure has fallen into complete disrepair, as here.
