OU Field Trip to Settle, July 2002

Quarry near Settle - a long climb, but worth it!

July 2002

 S103 students went on a field trip to Settle.  First stop was this quarry

 The unconformity can be seen quite clearly
Royanne explains the geology to us Second stop - limestone with fossils
Closer up view of the fossils embedded in the stone Moving on - view across the hills beyond Settle
Magnificent example of cross bedding Close up of the same rocks
Busy looking at the bedding Comparing notes
