- Description
-
180+ degree panorama along 12 Road in southern Rooks County, Kansas. The distant cliff formed by the cutbank of a small stream exposes the rarely seen contact between the Fort Hays and Smoky Hill members of the Upper Cretaceous Niobrara Chalk. The Fort Hays member is characterized by thick bioturbated chalk beds whereas the overlying Smoky Hill chalk is thinly bedded and rarely exposed in extensive outcrops.
