  • Dozens of iron concretions are found on a bluff in the Grand staircase Escalante in southern Utah. These iron concretions formed naturally between 6 and 25 million years ago as water dissolved the iron pigment in the red sandstone in the area. The pigment flowed down through the now bleached sandstone and then solidified when it came in contact with oxygenated water, forming a new iron mineral called hematite between the grains of sandstone. Over time, the sandstone eroded away, leaving the more durable iron concretions behind. These largely spherical balls are composed of a hard outer layer of hematite covering a ball of pink sandstone. By volume, the sandstone makes up the majority of these iron concretions, though those found elsewhere in the Colorado Plateau may contain much more hematite. Scientists aren't sure why they form in spheres or if they need something in particular as a nucleus to start growing.

  • A bright fogbow frames several tress growing on a bluff high above the Missouri River between Poplar and Brockton, Montana. Fogbows are formed much like rainbows, except the bands of colors overlap, resulting in what appears to be a largely white band. (A faint red band is visible on the outer edge; blue, inside.) The full moon is also visible in the inner band, just above the golden tree.
