Thanks to an invitation by Chris Connors, on Thursday June 11th, we had the fortune to meet research geologist Byron Stone, Ph.D. of the U.S. Geological Survey. Dr. Stone was the chief geologist at the 135-foot moving of the Gay Head Lighthouse. His research helped determine the most effective new location for the lighthouse. In unearthing the area around the lighthouse, several important geological discoveries were made, including a new understanding of the age of these glacial deposits, and a theory about what the land may have looked like many thousands of years ago.
