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.
