Not only is there a gravity anomaly that correlates with the magnetic anomaly, but there's orange clayey soil everywhere... and I found gossan.(iron-bearing rock).

This was virgin, unexplored territory, too... no past visits. I have a large orange plain and a pretty canyon to name :).

You going to name one of those after me? *silly grin*

I am so proud of you. I am so delighted that all your hard work and frustration is bearing fruit.

I was thinking when I read it that he should name one after you and one after Les :-)

I'm impressed... it isn't everyone who gets to name geography!

I initially read Jay's post as a "plain canyon to name" and a "pretty canyon to name", and while I think there is a naming convention that they follow that prevents him from choosing patgreene, me, or his dad, I didn't think it would be so good for him to figure out which of us is "pretty" and which of us is "plain".

I've since realized my error in reading, but I thought it was funny enough to share.
