Ahhh Lovely Lucerne Valley :D On a college field trip to visit a spot in the Mojave Desert with "Marine Fossils" at 3000' elevation :eek: we saw an anomaly in Lucerne Valley. In the middle of the valley floor there is a large rock formation that does not match the surrounding area, completely different materials, shapes and even vegetation is different. From the air it's evident that this formation was at one time a part of the mountain side 7 or 8 miles away and up the slope. Theorized that during an earthquake this huge slab of rock (acres) became dislodged and started to slide down the steep slope and as it gained momentum built a cushion of air beneath and without disturbing the earth under it floated/flew to the valley floor where it settled as it lost velocity. There is no obvious trail of devastation down the slope and little evidence of debris between the visible spot it left the slope and the spot it settled. Only in the Mojave :lol:.
