This week Bill revisits a story and discovers there is more interest than meets the eye
No. 1: You never know about the significance of a back roads discovery until someone else tells you so.There have been more than 100 Back Roads Bill stories in just over two years of Village Media contributions. Carol Martin is the editor who makes my contributions better; this is my avocation.
Scientific Significance We don’t salute or know many Canadian scientists, but Dr. Larry Dyke is one and he knows about geology. He is a Professor Emeritus from Queen’s University and a longtime member of the Geological Survey of Canada. The GSC is the national organization for geoscientific information and research.
Along with erratic boulders and striations, potholes represent present day evidence of mega geologic events like the most recent ice age. Dr. Eric Mattson, a Professor of Geography at Nipissing University in North Bay, says these potholes are the result of massive volumes of glacial melt-water draining through a spillway what is now referred to as the North Bay Outlet.
“The photo shows the larger of two potholes on a granite gneiss ridge in a channel 200 yards east of Morel siding," Harrison’s paper stated. "Deglaciation, permitted waters from the upper Great Lakes to spill eastward through the area.” Facebook responses included sending me photos of other potholes I have highlighted in stories and posts. One more review of the literature revealed other researchers who may have been there. What “sealed the deal,” was a new field note reference, within a radio carbon dating paper of 1969 by W.Blake: "90m south of the east end of the CPR shunting track at Morel."Railway buffs will know a shunting track is a third track, not the siding.
