"On a fossil-hunting trip to the Black Hills, the young geologist-paleontologist was intercepted by some suspicious Sioux. He was carrying a bag. The Sioux told him to empty it. Rocks tumbled to the ground. Culturally disposed to pity and respect for the insane, they gave one another looks and sent him on his way. Thereafter they called him Man-Who-Picks-Up-Stones-Running."

Dakota Formation in Central Kansas, just south of Wilson Lake, Kansas.
Pictures-Stones-Driving: From the car window, west-bound on Interstate 70 at 80 MPH opposite the Fox Hills strand ridge above right, this is Fox Hills shale or mudstone.
