U-M 2014 UP Geology Field Trip: Sedimentary Structures

27 August 2014

Sedimentary Structures

At our first stop of the day we are examining sedimentary structures in the Jacobsville Sandstone. Lots of cross-stratification throughout the exposure, and some pebbly, basal beds.

Field trips are a critical and integral component of geoscience education. They provide students with unequaled opportunities for exploring and understanding geological principles first-hand, outside of the classroom, at real-world scales.

Such trips, however, are expensive endeavors. While students themselves bear a portion of the costs, we rely on grants and donations to cover the majority of the trip's costs. This helps to ensure an affordable experience open to all students.

This year's field trip is supported by a generous contribution from an anonymous donor.
