TECTONIC UPLIFT

Jul 08, 2001

Millions of years ago these sedimentary deposits were laid down from river run off entering into the ocean.  The breakup of the unicontinent Pangaea and corresponding movement of the new continents led to some crashing into another creating the underlining layer push against and up through the other.

Rocks used: Onyx-blue calcite-jasper agate

rock names are often named regionally and therefor subject to change.
