NEW YORK-1971: A large, weathered grey boulder sits in a sun-dappled forest, its surface textured and worn. A small informational sign stands beside it, identifying the rock as anorthosite, one of the oldest known to man, estimated to be 1.5 billion years old. The scene is framed by tall trees and dappled sunlight, with a second, smaller rock visible near tree roots in a later shot. Shot on 8mm film, this vintage home movie captures a quiet moment of natural history in the New York woods.
