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.
Most of the geodes found here have weathered free of their carbonate host rock and are now in the local soils and stream sediments. A few of these geodes contain interesting crystals of ankerite, aragonite, calcite, dolomite, goethite, gypsum, kaolinite, marcasite, millerite, pyrite, sphalerite and other minerals.
