Hey Rob, what's the time frame on this project? Is it needed ASAP, or do we have a few weeks? I will be heading to east central Utah in July and could grab some sand from dinosaur country for you, as well as places along the route. C.

I have a simple request, I am involved in a project photographing sand for a proposed book about the sands of the USA. If you would please collect a few tablespoons of sand from sand pits, river and lake beaches, sand dunes, anyplace sand is found in Utah or Nevada along with where it was collected and mail it to me, I would greatly appreciate your effort. Please send samples to

Again, many thanks. If anyone is visiting Maui and would like to observe from a 10,000ft volcano, please contact me with your interest in visiting the Haleakala site.
