Vanda it was a chemical formula, but the outsourcer refused to give more explanations. Consequently I had to leave it as it was,with a note to the Client.

Thank you everyone for breaking your heads over it.

Área de Fosfatos de Farim

The Fruita Paleontological Area (FPA)


Explanation:
Para FPA: Poderia ser este sítio?

The Fruita Paleontological Area (FPA)is situated in the Grand Valley, an easy walk from the southern bank of the Colorado River. The Grand Valley is ringed by the Book Cliffs to the north, the Uncompahgre Plateau to the south, and Grand Mesa to the east. The sediments of the valley floor in the area of the FPA are soft grey shales of the Brushy Basin member of the Jurassic Morrison Formation, about 144 million years old.
