Memories from Geology Adventures:

Having Tom Nolan (USGS Director) and Chester Longwell (Yale, Stanford) as mentors on field work done in Nevada in early 1950’s.

- Michael S. Johnson

Drilling cores in the Willcox Playa.

- Richard C. Robinson

Sitting around the campfire with William Wiltary and our Paleontology class talking, served a gourmet casserole.

- John V. Brahana

Fieldwork for my PH.D dissertation was made possible by the 1960 Willys Jeep I purchased with a Penrose Bequest Grant from GSA.

- Karl S. Kellogg

The Grizzly Bear and our cooling pot of overcooked macaroni!

- Aureal T. Cross

In Summer, 1960 Harry Hess (1963 GSA President) sent Bill MacDonald, Martand Joshi, and me to Haiti to reconnoiter potential field thesis areas. After several harrowing weeks of fording and getting stuck in streams and mud holes, having our Jeep’s clutch sabotaged twice, and being chased by machetes, Hess pulled us out and sent us exploring elsewhere.

- Eldridge M. Moores

I was visiting an abandoned mine coal project in SW Indiana. Stepping on to a smooth soil area I sank in to my hips in soft mud, others helped me get extracted from the tailings material.

At 17 prospecting for the Phosphoria Formation in the mountains of S.E. Idaho.
