47.		Remove all redundant parts not visible in the formation itself. High resolution dwf-file
48.		Colour all areas corresponding to standing... High resolution dwf-file
49.		...or to flattened plants, and complete the reconstruction of the Oliver's Castle formation of 16-08-2008. High resolution dwf-file
