![Péter Luffi > WoGE #171
It is my pleasure to post a new geo-puzzle after I won Silver Fox's WoGE#170 featuring the New Idria serpentinite diapir in California. I would guess, it was the Almaden mercury mine in The Lost Geologist's WoGE#168 that triggered Silver Fox's mind to come up with New Idria, a historic Hg mine of California. On the other hand, New Idria is a type locality for benitoite, and this is what sparked my mind to give a spin to the game with an additional element. The idea is to choose a new WoGE so that it connects to the previous one by a keyword that should be provided along with the picture (for example, Silver Fox could have picked the keyword "mercury mine"). In the case of my WoGE#171, this keyword would be "type locality". The rules remain the same [the spot should be located (lat, long) and described in geological terms], but to win, one must also explain how the chosen keyword fits into the picture. The simple-to-answer question in this case would be: for what rock is this place the type locality? Let's see if anyone likes the idea.](http://pluffi.smugmug.com/Landscapes/WoGE/WoGE171/618178825_drw2V-Ti.jpg "Péter Luffi > WoGE #171

WoGE #148
WoGE #147 posted by Arvesse was Kilbourne Hole in the southern Rio Grande rift. Lucky of me, I found it before anyone else, so it's my turn again. I expect the winner to locate this spot and describe in few words what's going on here. Since I don't want anyone getting bored, this one will be a restriction-free run.
