Welcome to my site! Use this to guide you through all of the ins
and outs of Coastal Geology. The buttons above take you on a guided tour
of everything I have to offer. A full description of the page's purpose
will be found at the top of each page. Feel free to browse any and all
of the pages. The first thing you will see is my Coastal Geology
"Image of the Week." These will come from a variety of sources. One of
those sources could be you! If you have neat coastal geomorphological
(beach structure) images, send them to me, and I may post them. Under the images will be "Last
Week in Science,"and "This Week in Science"
followed by the MCAS standard(s) being covered with
this series of lessons. Please visit this site often, at least once a
week, to fully understand the wonderful things we do. Please feel free
to send an e-mail
message to me. I usually check my e-mail three times a day, at 7:00
am, lunch, and before I leave. Expect an answer within 24 hours.

Layered Sandstone

"
This is sandstone. It comes
from someplace in California, but I don't remember
where - probably Matador Beach. It's a fascinating
sample. The tan sandstone is surrounded on top and
bottom with a very sand conglomerate. The puzzle is,
how did it form?
