SPrice Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 Sure got me off to a great start! See any fossil concretions in this satellite image? I'm guessing 8-10 tons worth. Hmmm...looks promising for my next adventure. No LIDAR needed out in the desert. No trees hiding the goodies. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBkansas Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 (edited) It's certainly helpful in finding promising roadcuts. I know they've been using similar technology for archeology with great success: https://www.wired.co.uk/article/scanning-the-past Edited October 12, 2023 by JBkansas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
