Geocache Description:

Geocaching.com is proud to announce Mr. Incredible!'s 60th Cache!



Mr. Incredible!'s
Rock Garden Party

The above coordinates will take you to an earthcache site located in front of  Science Central , Indiana's Center for Science,  Mathematics, and Technology in Fort Wayne.  

 Inside, there are many cool science exhibits that are great learning fun for kids of all ages!  (The multi-colored smoke stacks make the old City Light & Power, Power Plant really unique!)  




Outside Science Central, there is a nice little spiral rock garden...  (a perfect place for an earthcache!)

All kinds of rocks are here; igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic.  You are interested in the rock in the center of the spiral.  This is the rock you will need to identify.

what kind of rock it is.

1. a. Rock has visible layers - go to #2

1.  Give either the rock's height, diameter, or circumference.
2.  What kind of rock is in the center of the spiral?
