Mammuthus primigenius Tooth

A Mammuthus primigenius tooth found on display at the geology department at Indiana University Southeast (IUS) of New Albany, Indiana. It is from the Rollen Brandt Collection. The creature existed in the Pleistocene Epoch.

The tooth is on display as of August 2013.

Paleozoic Cephalopod Fossil

This fossil is quite a rare find. A coiled cephalopod found it Clark County, Indiana which means it is probably either Silurian, Devonian or Mississippian in age. The label is not too specific. I would guess it is maybe 20 cm across in size.

It is on display at the Indiana University Southeast geology department as of August 2013. It was donated to them by John T. Shelton.

Rainbow After the Storm

A rainbow appeared at sunset on Sunday October 6, 2013. I just so happened to be near the 2nd St. bridge going to Louisville and took this picture at the Indiana visitors center.

The colors were quite intense and the rainbow seemed to last for about 15 minutes.

The last few days have brought record rainfalls to the area with some flooding of low lying areas around Louisville.
