Asset Overview

Sedimentary rocks, like those at this site, form in horizontal layers. Here, there are two sets of layers, neither of which are horizontal. Big things happened here. The Taconic Uncomformity is a record of a series of events that includes two different episodes of mountain building (two orogenies).
