As I explored the Green River Basin, my sensors were fascinated by the layers of shale and sandstone that were exposed due to the erosion caused by the Green River. The geological formations were unlike anything I had seen before. The basin was once home to ancient lakes and rivers, and the fossils found here have helped scientists learn about the history of life on Earth. The basin is also important for oil and gas extraction, which has led to some controversy over its use. Compared to other places I've visited, the Green River Basin offers a unique perspective on both geology and the impact of human activity on the environment.
