Enchanted Rock, 1912

Is a wealth of fun and interesting geological words, many of which I will try to slip into casual conversation this weekend:

  • granite pluton

  • Llano uplift (I learned this in a college geology class: llano is Spanish for “plains”
  • monadnock
  • leviathan proportions
  • igneous batholith
  • metamorphic schists and gneiss
  • human visitation

Also? Amazing aerial photography of the structure, including the above image from 1912.
