ORONO – The Geological Society of Maine’s annual spring meeting was the venue for three Mt Blue High School students giving presentations on local geology research projects they had completed over the last two years. The event was held at the University of Maine.

Thaddeus Gunther presented a poster session on his independent study project titled, “Crag and Tail in West Farmington Maine,” outlining the identity and origin of two bedrock features he studied near Temple Stream in West Farmington. The other two posters, presented by River Lisius and Grace Andrews, both of Farmington, explained the origin of two other features, one on Chesterville Hill, and the other on the side of Zion Hill, both in Chesterville.

These two projects were part of an ongoing study by Patti Millette and her earth science students defining post-glacial sediment deposits in the local area.
