Dinosaur geology: Sedimentary sequence at Ghost Ranch, New Mexico
Triassic Chinle Formation (red, foreground); Jurassic Entrada Formation (red/white cliffs); Jurassic Morrison Formation (slopes); Cretaceous Dakota Sandstone (upper cliffs). Aside for having been the residence of the artist Georgia O'Keeffe, Ghost Ranch, near Abiquiu, New Mexico, is also famous for the discovery of a mass mortality site of the dinosaur "Coelophysis". An expedition of the American Museum of Natural History led by Edwin Colbert found the site in 1947. Coelophysis was a small carnivorous dinosaur of the late Triassic.

Distress in Lancashire: mill-hands work on Preston Moors

The distress in Lancashire: mill-hands at work on Preston Moors. Unemployed operatives levelling waste ground on the north side of the town, over seen by inspectors, in preparation for the ground being built on. In exchange for small wages, in this way the unemployed of Preston are kept from want and given useful work. There is no severe exaction of labour, and the men work cheerfully, without the need to remove their coats as navvies do.
