  • Trip E STRATIGRAPHY of the CHAZY GROUP (MIDDLE
    81 Trip E STRATIGRAPHY OF THE CHAZY GROUP (MIDDLE ORDOVICIAN) IN THE NORTHERN CHAMPLAIN VALLEY by Frederick C. Shaw Herbert H. Lehman College Bronx, New York INTRODUCTION The Chazy Limestone (the oldest Middle Ordovician Group of the Cham­ plain Valley) was first named by Emmons (1842) from exposures 15 miles north of Plattsburgh at Chazy, New York. Here and elsewhere in the nor­ thern Champlain Valley (Fig. 1) the unit outcrops on a variety of normal fault blocks. Given the low dips and heavy cover, Chazy stratigraphy is most easily understood from various shore outcrops around Lake Champlain. Valcour Island, southeast of Plattsburgh, offers perhaps the best sec­ tion of the Chazy, and has been intensively studied (Raymond, 1905; Hud­ son, 1931; Oxley and Kay, 1959; Fisher, 1968; Shaw, 1968). The Isle La Motte, Vermont, exposures to be covered in this trip and trip Fare those studied by many of the same authors and, in addition, display the lower contact of the Chazy with the underlying Ordovician dolostones of Canadian age. In the northern Champlain Valley (Valcour Island and north to the International Boundary), the Chazy Limestone (now Group) consists of about 800 feet of quartz sandstones, calcarenites, dolomitic calcilu­ tites and biohermal masses (Fig. 2). Three formations, Day Point, Crown Point, and Valcour, in ascending order, were proposed by Cushing (1905) and have persisted to the present, albeit with some controversy (Fisher, 1968; Shaw, 1968). Oxley and Kay (1959) further subdivided the Day Point and Valcour into members, those of the Day Point (Head, Scott, Wait, Fleury) coming from southern Isle La Motte in the area to be visited.

  • Appendix a Places to Visit and Natural Communities to See There
    Appendix A Places to Visit and Natural Communities to See There his list of places to visit is arranged by biophysical region. Within biophysical regions, the places are listed more or less north-to-south and by county. This list T includes all the places to visit that are mentioned in the natural community profiles, plus several more to round out an exploration of each biophysical region. The list of natural communities at each site is not exhaustive; only the communities that are especially well-expressed at that site are listed. Most of the natural communities listed are easily accessible at the site, though only rarely will they be indicated on trail maps or brochures. You, the naturalist, will need to do the sleuthing to find out where they are. Use topographic maps and aerial photographs if you can get them. In a few cases you will need to do some serious bushwhacking to find the communities listed. Bring your map and compass, and enjoy!

  • Brief Introduction Camp Plymouth State Park
    State Parks In Vermont: Brief Introduction by newsdesk Camp Plymouth State Park :The site of Camp Plymouth was at one time thought to have been used as an encampment by soldiers of the Revolutionary War in 1777. The Boy Scouts used this area until 1984 when it became a state park. Camp Plymouth State Park is located in the town of Plymouth on the east shore of Echo Lake. The total acreage is 295 acres of which 46 acres comprise the developed portion of the park. The balance (249 acres) contains hiking trails, fishing, hunting, gold panning, and primitive camping, but is largely forestry oriented. Fort Dummer State Park :The park was named after Fort Dummer, the first permanent white settlement in Vermont. Built on the frontier in 1724, it was initially the gateway to the early settlements along the banks of the Connecticut River. Forty-three English soldiers and twelve Mohawk Indians manned the fort in 1724 and 1725. Later, the fort protected what was then a Massachusetts colony from an invasion by the French and Indians. Made of sturdy white pine timber, stacked like a log cabin, Fort Dummer served its purpose well. The park overlooks the site of Fort Dummer which was flooded when the Vernon Dam was built on the Connecticut River in 1908. This site can be seen from the northernmost scenic vista on the Sunrise Trail. It is now underwater near the lumber company located on the western bank of the river. Knight Point State Park :Knight Point on North Hero Island opened as a state park in 1978.

  • Upland Shores
    Upland Shores Rivershores ctober, 1927, was a wet month in Vermont. Rainfall had been higher than usual. The ground was saturated, and rivers and streams were full. On the first Oday of November, an unusual series of meteorological events began to converge on Vermont. By November 3, rain was falling in unprecedented amounts, and by the end of the day on the 4th, nine inches had fallen in some parts of the state. The already full streams and wet ground could not handle all this water, and the result was the greatest natural disaster in Vermont’s written history: the Great Flood of 1927. Curiously, New Englanders from outside Vermont’s borders do not count the 1927 flood as a major event. There was some damage in neighboring states, but the bulk of the rainfall, and most of the damage, occurred in Vermont. Eighty-four Vermonters lost their lives, 55 of them in the Winooski Valley alone. River towns throughout Vermont keep the history of the Great Flood alive. City Hall in Montpelier, on the Winooski River, is decorated with photographs of water lapping the steps of the Capitol. A marker in Cambridge, on the Lamoille River, shows that the floodwaters reached the second stories of buildings in the village. Gaysville, on the White River, was washed away completely and is remembered only in pictures. The loss of human life and property caused by the flood of 1927 and lesser floods is well documented. Changes to the natural communities of rivershores and floodplains are not as well understood, however. How did the plants and animals of the rivershores respond to so much water? Local lore in the town of Sharon, on the White River, tells us that a huge amount of floodplain land was lost in the 1927 flood.

    Goodsell Ridge Fossil Preserve Isle la Motte, Vermont Goodsell Ridge Fossil Preserve protects the most complete fossil record of the world’s oldest reef, an irreplaceable and world-renowned scientific resource. The last of the great glacial ice sheets receded from Vermont 12,000 years ago and dinosaurs roamed the earth 150 million years ago. Go even farther back in history to the Ordovician Period 480 million years ago and you will discover that Isle La Motte was part Hiking trails Wildlife Dogs allowed of a reef in a tropical marine environment in a shallow sea! Dry land had not yet been colonized. In this ancient Iapetus Ocean, organisms with hard calcium exoskeletons, including the first known species of coral, started to build the world’s oldest reef. In addition, giant sponge-shaped creatures, stromatoporoids, became an integral part of this complex reef community. Some of the other inhabitants of this incredibly diverse ecosystem include the trilobite, the ancestor of the modern horseshoe crab and the cephalopod, an Portalet (summer) Easy earlier form of the squid with a shell in the shape of a windsock, which roamed in and around the reef. Conservation History: The Lake Champlain Land Trust, with the help of our partners at the Isle La Motte Preservation Trust, permanently conserved Goodsell Ridge Fossil Preserve in 2005. We had previously worked with our partners to save the Fisk Quarry Fossil Site, also on Isle La Motte, in 1999. Trails are open dawn to dusk. Walking, hiking, snow shoeing, and cross-country skiing are encouraged, however, due to the delicate nature of Goodsell Ridge, no motorized vehicles or bicycles are allowed.
