Description
Sandpiper At Washington Oaks by D Hackett
With Hurricane Dorian just off the east coast of Florida, in September of 2019, the Atlantic was churned up with white caps, pounding surf, powerful wind and large waves. The power of the hurricane could be felt in the wind and the powerful waves.
The shoreline at Washington Oaks Gardens State Park is the second largest outcropping of Coquina rock is found here in Florida. The Coquina rocks at Washington Oaks is part of the Anastasia formation, which stretches from St. Augustine to Palm Beach County, and was created during the Pleistocene era (12,000 - 2.5 million years ago). During that era when sea level was lower, shells and sand were exposed to rain. The slightly acidic rainwater dissolved some of the calcium carbonate in the shells, which “glued” together the sand and shells into rock. If you look closely at the rock, you can see millions of the individual shells and sand cemented together.
