Small pyrite ammonites in Aptian grey marls. The gray marls around Apt were proposed by Alcide d'Orbigny as a reference for the Aptian stage, for their rich paleontological content. Some thirty different species of ammonites have been recorded in the Tuiliere sections, and belemnite rostrums are abundant in certain levels, as are gastropods and lamellibranchs (oysters and plicatula). These marls also yield corals, sea urchins, brachiopods and shark teeth. The Aptian is the penultimate stratigraphic stage of the Lower Cretaceous. It extends from -121.4 to -113.0 Ma, succeeding the Barremian and preceding the Albian (Secondary or Mesozoic Era). France

Ames Mars Wind Tunnel Facility N-245 NASA is simulating small martian 'dust devils' and wind in a laboraotry to determine how they may affect the landscape and environment of the red planet. Dust Devils on Mars are often a great deal biggger than those on Earth and can at times cover the whole planet. Martian winds & dust devils, big and little, collectively are a great force that is constantly changing the planet's environment. shown here Carbondale Red Clay dust used in vortex generatory and Mars Wind Tunnel
