    This site is located approximately 5 km SE from the axis of the Nittany Valley Anticline, and 9 km SW of Site 5. This site is an outcrop of a greyish-red, fine-grained, heavily crossbedded sandstone from the Juniata Formation. The formation outcrops along the northwest facing flank of an incised valley along a dirt access road. Measurable units are not readily available at ground level. Measurements were taken along a 45 m accent. On the ascent a visual observation of the bedding planes revealed that at higher elevation the dip began to trend in a more shallow direction.…

    The plain of Holderness did not exist before the Ice Age. It was once a wide bay backed by chalk cliffs running from Flamborough Head to Hessle, west of the city of Hull. Today Holderness is made up of glacial tills – sands and clays deposited by ice sheets during the Ice Age (Figure 4). The tills are soft and unstable and have little resistance to erosion. The low cliffs repeatedly slump down along rotational slip planes, lubricated by water which reduces friction and makes the sands and clays slip easily. The sea washes the slumped material away. This rapid coastal retreat will continue until the old buried cliff-line along the eastern edge of the Yorkshire Wolds is once again exposed. This is composed of much more resistant chalk rock, which will again form impressive white cliffs such as those north of Bridlington.…

    Within the Yoho National Park, the fossil quarries arise in the Burgess Pass, the southwest-facing saddle between Mount Wapta and Mount Field. This saddle contains two quarries: The Walcott is the lower quarry; with Raymond quarry just above. First visited by Charles Bishop Walcott in 1907, the main shale site known and studied today was deposited at the base of a 160m cliff wasn’t officially discovered until 1909. Fossils found within are estimated to about 505 million years old, dating to the mid to late Cambrian period. During this period, the site rested on the west coast of North America very near the equatorial position as a coastal shallow reef; as graphically depicted in the following model.…

    70 cm (27.05 in) in diameter and 1.5 (6 in) deep. The other is an apparent arrangement of seven linear concretions and a column of weathered bedrock whose pattering suggests human agency” (Madsen 153). In the second layer, several pieces of chert with biface reduction flakes have been found. The discovery of chert is strange for the area, as chert in not found in Saltville or nearby areas meaning that the tool shaped rock had to have been brought into the area from elsewhere, most likely by Paleo-Indians in the area. In addition, the interpretation of SV-2’s stratigraphy the reads, “the faunal concentration at 13,500 to 13,000 RCYBP; it was apparently deposited during a low-water stage that occurred soon after the lake formed”, suggesting that the Saltville people harvested clams, amphibians, and fish during the low periods (Goodyear…

    Many artifacts were found at the site. These artifacts included things like bones, ceramics, chipped stones, pumice, shells, and stone axes. Most of the ceramics found were pottery shard from undecorated bowls. These shards help scientist date the site between 500 B.C-1200 A.D. The type of clay in the ceramics indicates there was also some trading within the region. The stone axes were an interesting find because the stone needed for a tool like that was not easily found in that area. Testing revealed that the stone was from a site in Georgia. This proved that there was a…

    To the unassisted eye chalk appears to lock like a loose and open stone. Upon further investigation with a microscope chalk is formed from minute granules, embedded with a matrix of innumerable rounded bodies. Some are larger than others, but none of them are more than a hundredth of an inch in diameter. The majority of these look like badly grown raspberries called Globigerina. It is the study of these organisms and buried deposits among them that tells us the important facts of history.…

    In the short stories ‘The Hollow of The Three Hills’ by Nathaniel Hawthorne and ‘The Moving Finger’ by Edith Wharton, the writers convey the theme of the supernatural through various techniques. Hawthorne’s story is more open about the supernatural and uses the setting and one of the main characters to portray the darkness of the poem and the abnormal elements of it. In Wharton’s story, the supernatural is more of an underlying element in contrast to Hawthorne’s story. Both short stories use symbolism to portray the different supernatural elements that they both contain.…
