23. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 4, tangent to circle 22 at the righthand side. | |||
24. | ![]() | Copy circle 23 two times, to the centers of circles 3 and 5. | |||
25. | ![]() | Circles 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, 18, 23 and 24 are used for the final reconstruction. | |||
28. | ![]() | Remove all parts not visible within the formation itself. High resolution dwf-file | |||
29. | ![]() | Colour all areas corresponding to standing... High resolution dwf-file | |||
30. | ![]() | ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the Hannington formation of 7-05-2011. High resolution dwf-file | |||
