Rocks!

As part of my EART1105 Dynamic Planet unit, I headed out to Watermans Beach to look at rocks. Had to fight off that itch to climb them. Hah.

We looked at the stratigraphy and composition of the rocks, in order to identify previous sea levels during the Holocene. By studying the grain sizes at various strata, and the embedded fossils eg.brachiopods, we could figure out the previous intertidal range. Also, inferences were made regarding the groundwater flows and aeration of the rocks, sandstone in particular.

Sun, sea, and the wind. All made for a great day out.
