Thanks for inviting us along. I'm thinking maybe repurposed satellite or some kind of antenna dish.

The whole thing was well designed and constructed and everything seemed fairly new. I'd never heard of guzzlers before but apparently they are fairly common, but more commonly as just one dish.

Yeah, meeting Tom and his wife was a major stroke of luck, very nice folks. Tom is also an excellent photographer, you can see his work and learn more of the history of the area at www.majorproduction.net. His wife Caroline is a Vertebrate Paleontologist!

My wife just googled (whatever location) geologic map, that should get you in the vicinity, then you can narrow the search based on what you find. Let me know if you need a clearer explanation and I can ask her for more specifics, she's the brains of the operation.
