Bedrock and Surficial Geology
There are no spots on our site with exposed bedrock.
Soil Profile- (pictures to come)
A soil pit was dug on September 21st, and the lab group discovered that our soil was extremely sandy. We dug down through the O, A, B, and C layer.
O Layer- This layer was only 2 cm deep. It consisted of mostly leaves, pines, and dark, nutrient rich soil.
A Layer- The A layer was 8 cm deep, and had a pH of 7.0. This is where the soil started to get sandy, and was much lighter than the O layer
B Layer- This layer was the lightest color of any other layer, and was 8 cm deep. It also had the most sandy texture. The pH was 6.5. Picking it up and feeling it really did make it seem like it came straight from the beach.
C Layer- The last layer went further than we could dig. It had a pH of 6.0, and was as dark as the A layer.
Our photographer was absent, so the best picture we have so far is located below:
