Millions of years of geology are represented at Point Lobos, where gorgeous Cretaceous granitic formations outcrop aside conglomerates deposited in underwater torrents that dumped into submarine canyons. Trace fossils of ancient marine life can be seen in the sandstones of the Carmelo formation. On this field trip we will learn about the geology and sketch the outcrops and rock types. Using a geologic map as an aid, we will use our drawing skills an a tool for interpreting and recording the landscape history of this beautiful and geologically dramatic state park.
