This year the COVID-19 pandemic has affected all of us. With social distancing measures still in place, we have decided to have the first virtual Virginia Geological Field Conference!

Or if people prefer individual stops of more limited scope:

Stop 1, the Hanging Rock Anticline

Stop 2, a traverse of Devonian clastic sediments at Baker

Stop 3, the Wallbridge Unconformity

Stop 4, Silurian and Devonian carbonates at Patterson Creek Mountain Anticlinorium

Stop 5, the Devonian-Mississippian boundary

Stop 6, up on the Plateau
