Reconstruction of the Wouldham 4-07-2006 formation | |||||
1. | ![]() | Draw a circle. Draw and extend the horizontal and vertical centerlines. | |||
2. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed equilateral triangle of circle 1, pointing to the right. | |||
3. | ![]() | Copy circle 1 three times, to the angular points of triangle 2. | |||
4. | ![]() | Complete the flower-of-life pattern, by copying circle 1 another three times, to the (outer) intersections of circles 3. | |||
5. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed dodecagon (regular 12-sided polygon) of circle 1, pointing to the right. | |||
6. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed circle of dodecagon 5. | |||
7. | ![]() | Copy circle 6 six times, to the centers of circles 3 and 4. | |||
8. | ![]() | Draw a line from the lefthand intersection of circle 1 and the horizontal centerline, to the upper right outer intersection of (two adjacent) circles 7, as shown. | |||
9. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to line 8. | |||
10. | ![]() | Draw three rays, from the center of circle 1 to the angular points of triangle 2. Extend these lines up to circles 3. | |||
11. | ![]() | Copy circle 9 three times, to the outer intersections of circles 3 and rays 10, as shown. | |||
12. | ![]() | Construct the circumscribed dodecagon of circle 1, the righthand side perpendicular to the horizontal centerline. | |||
13. | ![]() | Construct the circumscribed circle of dodecagon 12. | |||
14. | ![]() | Copy circle 13 six times, to the centers of circles 7. | |||
15. | ![]() | Circles 1, 7, 11 and 14 are the only elements needed for the final reconstruction. | |||
16. | ![]() | Remove all superfluous parts not visible in the formation itself. High resolution dwf-file | |||
17. | ![]() | Colour all areas corresponding to standing... High resolution dwf-file | |||
18. | ![]() | ...or to flattened crop. This completes the reconstruction of the Wouldham formation of 4-07-2006. High resolution dwf-file | |||
