Interesting, Good reporting.
I will try to get better pics of the quarry in the morning. IT IS VERY DEEP. The pic I posted was one I found on the net. It is not a great representation of the depth and size. I found it interesting to see the first part of the new trailer. The quarry popped in my head and now I wonder what else is in store.
The arcology idea is fine, where the giant structures are concerned, but I don't think they have anything to do with this large hole in the ground. I do think it looks like a quarry, and if one in Iowa in the area described by Batnam below, it's most likely for quarrying limestone, which would match quite well with the characteristics of color, pit shape and apparent method of removal we see evident in the screencaps.
I'm pretty sure you're correct.
I'm not sure what the quarry in Buffalo, IA is for. But I have heard it's main purpose is for gravel. There is plenty of limestone, (especially @ Wild Cat Den Park) about 5 miles from the quarry in Buffalo. So that is a possibility. There are a lot of large structures around the quarry. Like I said, I will put up pics tomorrow. Thanks for taking an interest in my findings.
Possibly... But Kirk's TAS ship had vast shirtsleeves-accessible spaces inside the nacelles, too, and windows on the engine pylons. Perhaps the Kelvin's main engineering is inside the front part of her nacelle, with the warp coils inside the rear part?
Elsewhere in these threads, we saw a largish Starfleet circular logo on the Enterprise during her construction. Are there any logos on the Kelvin's hull?

The lights look to have a curved, almost parabolic shape at the top in a few frames of the 1080p copy. Plus there are darker, rectangular shadows between the lights. I still think they're floodlights.
^^^ Agreed.
Mmm... yes demz. Haha for some odd reason I'm hearing Stewie's voice. :S

As you should be..... ...
Here's one that hasn't been posted yet.
Those look like Captain's stripes to me.
I was giggling like a school boy through the whole trailer. Is it May yet???
Huh, thats odd. That snippet of a scene went so quickly that i thought that was Pike saying buckle up. thats odd, didnt occure to me it wa Pine in uniform.
Ya know that fuzzy feeling you get, when your affraid but also stupidly excited...?
Ive got that until May, anyone want to fight for custody of it, be my guest.

I bet its the last scene in the movie.
Sharr
Fascinating. In story, that could be the same quarry 150 years in the future when it is much deeper.
Does the Kelvin's lower Nacell have windows???
BTW: This is a shot looking at it from the rear as it passes by the camera.
So the 'Windows??' would be at the front of the Nacell.
I actually think that those are windows. Could be a different layout where the engineers tried to place engineering fully within the warp nacelle.
