Quick Trips: Hanover Shale on Lake Erie

Here is a short five minute video detailing a portion of the Hanover Shale exposed along the Lake Erie shoreline. This is a continuation of the work I've been doing at the contact between the Hanover and Dunkirk shales.

Bioturbation and lateral facies variability, I LOVE it!

[@randyblood8966]

They are fascinating deposits!

We have very similar shales here in NW Ireland full of crinoids and brachiopods it's also oil rich I wonder if the shale beds here and there are connected.

[@randyblood8966]

It's entirely possible. When the proto-North Atlantic opened the rift ripped the supercontinent in half. As a result, there are very similar deposits on either side of the present-day Atlantic!
