- [REQUIRED] Please post a photo in your log of yourself or a personal item at the outcrop to prove you visited the site.
- The layers sediment are older on the right and younger as you go along to the left. Describe the differences.
- Can you see evidence of the bioturbation?
King Square West is the type locality for the King Square Formation, which is the thickest and best-exposed rock formation in the Saint John Group. The identification and naming of rock formations is a formal process within the geological community. A type locality is chosen as the "official" representative of a rock formation so that it can be correctly recognized elsewhere.
The rock in King Square West is sandstone. Sandstone is a sedimentary rock composed of sand-size grains of mineral, rock, or organic material. It also contains a cementing material that binds the sand grains together and may contain a matrix of silt- or clay-size particles that occupy the spaces between the sand grains.
The first stage in the process of developing sandstone involves layers of sand amassing due to the process of sedimentation, when particles settle in the fluid they sit in and rest against a barricade; this can either be from water or air. The stone then becomes cemented by the pressure of the suspended stone being precipitated between grains. Rock formations that are primarily composed of sandstone usually allow the percolation of water and other fluids and are porous enough to store large quantities, making them valuable aquifers and petroleum reservoirs.
The sandstone and shale in King Square West were formed 500 million years ago covered by a shallow sea. There is evidence that the sea had a lot of wave action and stormy conditions. The shale layers appear to have primitive animal life burrowing in the mud.
Beside a grassy niche along Watson Street, steeply tilted layers of fine-grained sandstone, siltstone, and shale are well exposed.
The mud from which they formed was inhabited by worms and other primitive animal life that churned through the sediment in search of food, a process known as bioturbation.
Bioturbation is defined as the reworking of soils and sediments by animals or plants. These include burrowing, ingestion, and defecation of sediment grains. Bioturbating activities have a profound effect on the environment and are thought to be a primary driver of biodiversity.
Later deformation has tilted the layers, exposing a sequence of ages - older rocks at the right, younger at the left as you face the outcrop along Watson Street (see photo). Bright white veins of quartz cutting across some parts of the outcrop are also the result of deformation. Such veins tend to be more abundant in areas like this one, with plenty of sandstone layers as a source for the silica from which quartz forms. Quartz is often found in veins that cut through rocks. The veins look like whitish thin sheets cutting through the rock.
