PROGRAM - Jeri Jones “Backyard Geology”
Jeri delivered an entertaining and interesting program about the geological aspects in and around the Hanover area. Among some of the things we learned are the following:
- Volcanic rocks called metabasolt can be found on the north side of the Pigeon Hills.
- There is a vast limestone belt on the south side of the Pigeon Hills that runs through Spring Grove to the Wrightsville area.
- Mastodon fossils have been found in the Vulcan mines.
- Worm tubes called “skolithas” about 541 million years old can be found in the area.
- Faults called the Martic line run through Codorus lake.
- Evidence of iron ore mines and places where charcoal was once made can be found in the Pigeon Hills. The ore was processed at the Marianne Furnace near Codorus lake.
