TRIP TO WHITECLIFTS IN KAZAKSTAN:
.A group of Cheveron Oil Managers and Engineers From the Tengiz Refinery
in Kazakstan traveled to the White Clifts on the edge of the Caspain Sea.
Bill Graessley is the photographer.
Here are shots of the "Sharks Teeth" area of the White Cliffs.
The
teeth are found in the whitest layers and are millions of years
old.
Our guides found some teeth along with various other fossils.
The
teeth are still razor sharp. The cliffs are reefs that
grew as the
Ancient Caspian Sea deepened.
Here are further shots of White Cliffs. We climbed around and
explored as the managers fretted about our 3 million man-hours
with no
lost time injuries record being on the line. Our hosts
from Atyrau
started a fire and cooked us shiskabobs and warmed sturgeon fillets
