Figure 1 – Windaersheek Beach, Gloucester, MA. (c) DE Wolf 2019.

Figure 1 – is another image from last Sunday, a gloomy day, at Windaersheek Beach in Gloucester, MA. It shows Avalon terrain granite boulders rising from the sand. Avalonia was a microcontinent in the Paleozoic Its remaining lithospheric fragments underlie the eastern coast of North America.  It bears its name from the Avalon Peninsula in Newfoundland.When you sit on a windy day and look out at the sea, such geological formations seem to call out to cousin boulders across the sea, these in Africa. It is a reminder of the age of the Earth and the physical forces that drive its evolution.
