Geocache Description:


The cache is located about 20 feet off of the White trail of the Isle La Motte Preservation Trust Goodsell Ridge. The Trust focuses on the conservation of the 460 million year old Chazy Fossil Reef. The limestone outcrops of bedrock have many fossilized creatures that lived on this reef. The cache is hidden in a tree next to another geologic feature deposited by glacers about 10,000 year ago, a glacial erratic. This erratic is composed of pillow basalts resulting from volcanic lava flowing under water. This rock was moved to the Goodsell ridge from some place within Canada.  In 2009 these Chazy Fossil Reef sites were awarded the prestigious designation of National Natural Landmark by the US Dept of the Interior.
