    Description

    Flower ports are created by water that exploits cracks and eventually removes the material between the flowerpot and the main rock face. The water smooths and round the rock of the flowerpot. The flowerpots at Indian Brook were created several thousands of years ago when lake levels were significantly higher than they are today.

    Description

    The Mill Creek Valley: “Castle Ramparts” at Stop 8 (Pages 63/64) The Manitoulin Dolostone layer of the Niagara Escarpment forms a steep edge along the valley of Mill Creek. Over time the thinly bedded rock breaks away from the cliff face and lies scattered along the slope. Many shell and horn coral fossils can be found in these flat, shingle-like rocks. Note that when leaves are fully out in the summer months the “castle ramparts” may be hard to see. A photograph of the talus rock below the cliff will be sufficient for this badge location.
