Today we went to the GeoCentre near Signal Hill. It is a remarkable geological museum. The presentations and exhibits provide so much information about the earth and the unique character of Newfoundland's and Labrador's geology.
The photo on the left is a rock from the Tablelands in Gros Morne. It is from the earth's mantle that was thrust up from an ancient sea. It is very rare to have the mantle exposed like this. It is almost as old as the earth itself.
The photo on the right is of the exposed rock of Signal Hill. It too is very old and tells an interesting history of Newfoundland.
