Well, there you have 'em, folks -- two very durable building materials.
Top photo is a barkless fallen oak out at China Camp.

And if you've ever been on Conzelman Road overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge -- then you've seen the amazing patterns of all those layered, bent, and folded orange-red rocks.   The rock is called "Chirt".

Perfectly captured textures. There is some of that type of rock around Devils Slide. I was always fascinated by it. It really shows the convulsions the earth went through so long ago.

Fascinating! I would never have guessed what they were.
