File:User Mikado282 BLU and RED scoria.png

Summary
As I hunt through local landscape gravel for curiosities, I rarely find samples that demonstrate that over 55 million years ago, the Kansas River was connected, if indirectly, to Badlands sediments. So, when I found the piece of river-rounded RED scoria, it reminded me of the view of large RED scoria gravel pits across the Santa Fe River valley from Santa Fe.[1] I have a foreshortened mental picture of that landscape from Santa Fe, which reminds me of the view Gray Mann ponders in Blood Brothers.
Then I found this piece of BLU scoria in the local river gravel!
