15. | Copy circle 14 to the center of circle 10. | ||||
16. | Construct a "two-points" circle between the lower intersections of circle 11 and triangle 12 with the vertical centerline. | ||||
17. | Copy circle 16 to the upper intersection of circle 1 and the vertical centerline. | ||||
18. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 17 at the upper side. | ||||
19. | Construct the circumscribed hexagon of circle 1, pointing up. | ||||
20. | Construct a "two-points" circle between the lower intersection of circle 1 with the vertical centerline and the top angular point of hexagon 19. | ||||
21. | Copy circle 1 to its upper intersection with the vertical centerline, and move it to its own corresponding intersection. | ||||
22. | Copy circle 18 to the center of circle 21. | ||||
23. | Draw the connecting line between the intersections of circles 18 and 22. | ||||
24. | Copy circles 3, 6, 9, 10, 11 14 and 15 as a whole, while mirroring with respect to line 23. | ||||
25. | Copy circle 20, while mirroring with respect to line 23. | ||||
26. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 25 at the lower side. | ||||
27. | Copy circle 26 to the center of circle 21. | ||||
28. | Construct a "two-points" circle between the upper intersections of circles 6 and 21 with the vertical centerline. | ||||
29. | Construct a "two-points" circle between the upper intersections of circles 9 and 21 with the vertical centerline. | ||||

31. | Copy circles 28, 29 and 30 as a whole, while mirroring with respect to line 23. | ||||
32. | Circles 1, 3, 6, 9, 10, 11, 14, 15, 18, 20, 21, 22, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 and 31 are used for the final reconstruction. | ||||
33. | Remove all redundant parts not visible within the formation itself. High resolution dwf-file | ||||
34. | Colour all areas corresponding to standing... High resolution dwf-file | ||||
35. | ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the East Kennett formation of 21-06-2009. High resolution dwf-file | ||||
