K/T boundary spotted in Hong Kong

Details: Western coast of Ping Chau Island., NT, HK- Ping Chau Formation, Paleocene (only?) lacustrine / (?) lagoon deposits - April 25th, 2002 - field trip during symposium Tectonic Processes in the Evolution of China, 23-28 April 2002 - DES HKU and Croucher Advanced Studies Institute - powered by Watson's Wine Cellar

Aileen, Jonathan and Paul are  looking forward, literally. No guess how Cap is handling RV navigation. Eyes pasted to the radar monitor perhaps?		Graciano and Sol are looking forward the simplest way, being happy and slightly agitated. Simon, behind these fellas, seems a bit serious, but ready to join.
Sante! A good beginning is half a bottle - Graciano and myself are well experienced in a proper start of any field observation, even most complex.		Or we simply follow these famous observers also working on Montepulciano d'Albruzzo, in order to ignite their senses? Problems with observation? - drop by here.

Here it is - W coast of Ping Chau Island, the smallest fraction of HK closest to our Motherland. After introduction, Lung Chan is expanding on details.		K/T is believed to lie at the sole of the thick silcrete layer Min Sun is thoroughly examining. Note C-rich bands at the bottom and trust our K/T Guru.		Gaining a deeper insight - Paul Tapponnier and John Malpas have chosen to comprehend the most sensitive way, depositionally onlapping.

Chris Fletcher, the main organizer of the meeting, takes every opportunity to enjoy field geology. And now he is the most inquisitive investigator questioning all details available.		After the satisfied crowd has gone, experts on HK geology are taking their time. Diarmad Campbell and Lung Chan enjoying a tet-a-tet discussion.
The best way to perceive the nature of geological time - having lunch amid Paleocene deposits above the believed to be K/T boundary. Francis Wu, right, enjoying chat to colleagues.		Lunch over -  Heineken on. Now we trust in what we have just observed, more than ever. For those who don't - Lung Chan is about and ready to make the necessary correction.

Brian Windley is well looked after		and having a joyful company

John knows a proper way to keep the folks permanently high		Double happiness as the most fundamental idea of HK		Sharing the finest food and geological views - that's why we are here

still talking		still arguing

still laughing		still drinking		still singing
