We just reached Platinum level!! We have been waiting for the chance to visit our 5th state and finally got the chance. Found 23 in 5 different states and have developed 3 in AL.

After some further study about upthrust and mountain formation in general in this area of NE Alabama, I think this could be an example of subduction tectonic movement. Does this look like it could be a result of that? The resulting almost flat underside of this formation gives the appearance of a subduction along this mountain ridge. I could be way off here and lookin for suggestions. Thanks for any and all!!

We are avid geocachers and have a recent addiction to earthcaches. We have developed two in our area and are trying to get a third to complete our platinum masters degree. We found this neat rock formation at the top of a mountain in our area in the foothills of the Appalachian Mtns and were wondering if it might qualify. We are in no way geologists and are learning as we go. We have tried a bit of research but can't find what to call a formation like this. Could you help point us in the right direction? Thanks for any and all help!

We got ours in the mail today! Thanks Joefrog!
