Hi Martin,

Thanks for the link to the Winona picture. That is one
ugly-looking piece of shale! Amazing that it could even be
classified (with its own unique type, no less)... Makes
Nantan look like it fell yesterday! ;-)

Best,
Rob

Hi All,

To say that Winona is weathered is an understatement.

Imagine the rustiest, crustiest pile of fragments loosely bound, just barely
overcoming the force of gravity...now apply the term weathered to it and you
have Winona. Don't believe me, have a look at this pic.
