Jackson Springs

For this lab we crossed the Ocmulgee and went to Jackson springs park. We were given chisels and hammers to break off rock samples to evaluate and classify them. Among some of the rock samples found were both regular and rose quartz, granite, and feldspar. Also we saw the line on the road bridge across the river where the river waters from the flood rose too. 


After the walk to the river, we filtered sand and dirt from the bottom of the creek to find small samples of inorganic and organic materials. Below is a picture of the creek and the tunnel under the road.
