The feud between the Grangerfords and the Shepardsons can relate to how slavery collapsed and southern culture itself. Between the two families there was a lot of back and forth fighting. With slavery there was a lot of the same things.
Geodes from Southern Indiana. These are pictures from a geode collecting trip that my dad and I went on. The geodes we found in this stream bed all were eroded out of southern Indiana limestones. Geodes form in cavities that are filled with mineral-rich water, usually quartz. When the water moves through, it leaves behind the disolved quartz in the cavity.
They may be as small as a walnut or larger than a basketball. Geodes several feet in diameter have been found, but the average is about baseball size. Example of needlelike rutile crystals. In order for a crystal-lined geode to form, there first must be a cavity or hollow space in the limestone.
