Reconstruction of the Chalk Pit 2-08-2012 formation | |||||
1. | ![]() | Draw a circle. Draw and extend the horizontal and vertical centerlines. | |||
2. | ![]() | Construct two inscribed equilateral triangles of circle 1, one pointing to the left, one to the right. | |||
3. | ![]() | Construct a circle passing through the upper and lower mutual intersections of triangles 2 and through the righthand intersection of circle 1 and the horizontal centerline. | |||
4. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the upper mutual intersection of triangles 2. | |||
5. | ![]() | Copy circle 4 to the lefthand intersection of circle 3 and the horizontal centerline, and move this circle (copy and delete original) to its own righthand intersection with the horizontal centerline. | |||
6. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at the righthand intersection and passing through the lefthand intersection of circle 5 and the horizontal centerline. | |||
7. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 6 at the righthand side. | |||
8. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 6, tangent to circle 7 at the lefthand side. | |||
9. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 8 at the righthand side. | |||
10. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 6, tangent to circle 9 at the lefthand side. | |||
11. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 10 at the righthand side. | |||
12. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 6, tangent to circle 11 at the lefthand side. | |||
13. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 12 at the righthand side. | |||
14. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 6, tangent to circle 13 at the lefthand side. | |||
15. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 14 at the righthand side. | |||
16. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 6, tangent to circle 15 at the lefthand side. | |||
17. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 16 at the righthand side. | |||
18. | ![]() | Draw a line from the center of circle 1 to the lower lefthand angular point of triangles 2, and extend this line downwards to circle 17. | |||
19. | ![]() | Copy circle 3 to the intersection of circle 17 and line 18. | |||
20. | ![]() | Circles 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 19, are used for the final reconstruction. | |||
21. | ![]() | Remove all parts not visible within the formation itself. High resolution dwf-file | |||
22. | ![]() | Colour all areas corresponding to standing... High resolution dwf-file | |||
23. | ![]() | ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the Chalk Pit formation of 2-08-2012. High resolution dwf-file | |||
