Ripples in the Layers

Signs of the Sea

Look! Look! A Beach!

Can you imagine there was an ocean here? Yes, there was, over 390 million years ago. Today it looks like ripples on a rocky beach. Ancient ripples are left over from waves crashing over ancient beaches. The wavy cracks are bumpy and sharp. Sometimes it feels sandy. A ripple is a wave carved into stone. When the sand rubs against the rocks it makes it rough. Buttermilk does not have a lot of fossils.That is why we give a hand to geologists for finding out the facts about ripples in Buttermilk.
