South Gate Hill

Our first geologic stop of the trip! We reviewed the regional geology of the area to set the context for today, and then we spent some time examining the early Ordovician limestones and shales outcropping here.  The rocks are very fossiliferous, with excellent examples of brachipods, echinoderms, corals, trilobites, etc.
