Sedimentology & Stratigraphy class in Wooster Memorial Park. Watch this space!
This morning Wooster’s Sedimentology & Stratigraphy class visited Wooster Memorial (“Spangler”) Park for some field experience. A few of the students are shown above exploring a magnificent glacial deposit. I never did get a photo with all 21 students in it.
The students are each writing a blog entry about the geology of this park as a writing assignment. You can see the instructions and additional images on our course page. The best entry will soon be posted in this blog under the student’s name. Above is a nice stream-side outcrop of the Logan Formation (Lower Carboniferous).
It was a chilly but mercifully dry day for us. Classic early spring foliage for northeastern Ohio.
The most noteworthy flower this week is Trillium grandiflorum, a beautiful three-petaled white flower with six stamens.
This purple flower is unknown to me so far. I hope a kind expert adds its name in the comments!
