Fieldworker Brad Jensen examined the site on Tuesday, July 29th (we think about a week after this formation occurred) and observed a very "rough" lay throughout with the plants only partially flattened in most areas.  He observed no node-length differences and no expulsion cavities and also noted that one of the pathways creating the "star" inside the ring was not straight (see path toward top of aerial photo).  It was his first impression that this circle was most likely mechanically created. 

However, new information is now surfacing which must be very carefully evaluated--about both this formation and Fosston #2.   Field diagrams, measurements, plant examination and a number of other pieces of information will take awhile to organize and evaluate, but a final report will be posted on the BLT web-site in the new FIELD REPORTS (HERE ) section as soon as possible.
