San modeling several coral outcrops....

This I found truly amazing and it made me want to become a Geologist. This whole inland sea (now 4000+ metres above normal sea level) was rife with coral at some point during its history. Due to the dry nature of the environment following the drying up of the sea the coral outcrops have remained largely intact. On our journey out of the salar I then could follow coral features, especially the ancient shoreline, all the way out of the Salar.... fascinating!
