Geo 730: April 24, Day 480: Depoe Sequence

Looking roughly north-northwest from the center of town, across Depoe Bay, we see the Basalt of Depoe Bay, a flow of Columbia River Basalt, in the foreground. Toward the end of the point is another basalt flow, that of Cape Fowlweather- another CRB flow. Between the two is the Sandstone of Whale Cove. It's a simple sequence, but gives rise to a spectacular land and seascape.
