Crustose and Foliose Lichens

Crustose and Foliose Lichens
These lichens were spotted growing on a boulder on the banks of a river somewhere in the Routt National Forest in Wyoming in 2010.  Unfortunately, I am not a lichenologist, and I have no experience identifying different species of lichens, so I don't know what these particular specimens are.  If you know, please leave a comment.  In the meantime, you can read more about lichens here.
