 Glacial Striations and Newfie

   February 11, 2022

   Summary Author:  John Stetson

   Featured above is a view from the top of  Quaker Ridge in Casco,
   Maine.  Striations can clearly be seen on this  metamorphic rock
   outcrop. When  glaciers retreated here, approximately 12,000 years
   ago, these linear marks were left behind. A shallow covering of snow
   had melted off of the rock's surface on this early winter's day,
   allowing the striations to be examined in some detail. My dog, Betty, a
    Newfoundland or "newfie" provides scale to the outcrop. Photo taken
   on December 15, 2121.
