Andy talking about the Eagle-Ford formation and the Georgetown layer.
Geology Hike at Spring Lake Preserve
SMGA sponsored its first hike of 2010 on Saturday, February 27 at Spring Lake Preserve. Andy Grubbs, a local geologist who is quite familiar with our area, led 9 of us on a geology based tour of the area. Spring Lake has many layers of the Balcones faultline from Eagle-Ford down to Edwards Limestone. We noted the buds on the Mexican buckeye and the agarita and noted many blooms already popping out. It was a gorgeous early spring day with lots of bird serenade and, with Andy's help, very enlightening. Thanks Dick McBride for the photos.
Fossil.
Who or what made this mighty big hole?
Sink Creek amazement - standing water!
