Bill Parker ('Chinleana' blog) is just back from the Colorado Plateau Coring Project Workshop in Albuquerque with a short post and good links.
The project proposes to "core Triassic and Jurassic rocks of the Colorado Plateau [right, credit CPCP] to obtain detailed stratigraphic data including paleomagnetism, palynology, isotopic dates, etc..."
I hope we'll hear more about the results and plans for the project soon.
More info is what I crave and this area dealing with plates and floating mounds is critical to all our understanding of tectonics and the earths formation.
