Day 14, Saturday 1/20/18

On day 14, students began their final mapping project in the pleasantly dry landscape of Guanacaste. On this first day of mapping, the students made observations and attempted to correlate a series of 1-2 Ma ignimbrite units of the Bagaces Formation to those observed at previous outcrops!
