Description: This half-day field trip provides a basic introduction to
the exciting geology of the Hartford Basin. We will make five stops to explore a variety
of rocks and features that tell the story of the splitting of continents and formation
of the Atlantic Ocean. Participants should be prepared for short-distance walking.
