Shenandoah class
Last Saturday was my Field Studies in Geology trip to Shenandoah National Park. Here's a few shots from the day's geologizing...
Garnets in the Pedlar Formation granite gneiss, oldest rock in the park at ~1.1 Ga.
Meta-basalt columns of the Catoctin Formation (photo by Mathina Calliope):
At the end of the trip, I have the students order a series of strips of paper with different geologic events in the park's long geologic history. They have to figure out the proper order based on what they learned that day:
Lastly, a group photo overlooking the Browntown Valley:
