Story in Quarries
Season 7 Episode 1 | 26m 25sVideo has Closed Captions
We will look at pieces of NC from a few million to more than one billion years old.
You may be surprised to learn that NC is a geologic "crazy quilt" of pieces of terrain widely varying in age. The best windows into our distant past are quarries found in almost every county from the edge of the Pamlico Sound to the Tennessee border. With the help of some of NC’s most experienced geologists, we found pieces of NC ranging from a few million to more than one billion years old.
