| Day Two:
Stop 7: Shore Acres State Park Beautiful tilted strata with a nice angular unconformity (see picture to right). |
 |
We walked out onto the upper platform |
Melissa contributed this picture of herself. |
There were iron-cemented concretions and odd weathering patterns in the rock |
The weathering made the landscape look like something out of a science fiction movie |
The rocks are layers of sandstone and shale, which breaks easily into flat pieces |
The sandstone showed laminar bedding, cross- bedding, and as shown above, convoluted bedding (soft-sediment deformation) |
As seen in this artistically framed photo from Cami Idzerda, there is iron staining along fractures in the sedimentary rock layers. |
As seen in this phot from Melissa Riopel, there are fossil worm burrows in the sandstone |

When we were through scrambling on the rocks, we ate lunch and then wandered through the oh so formal gardens at Shore Acres. Photo from Melissa Riopel. |
