~ MONUMENT ROCKS ~ KANSAS ~ No. 3
Uploaded: April 05, 2010
I've been waiting a long time to get photos of this place called...
“Monument Rocks”… They were inducted as the first National Natural Landmark in Kansas by the Department of Interior on October 31, 1968. Monument Rocks stands approximately 70 feet tall and the national landmark area encompasses just a few acres. These rocks are the remnants of the western Interior Niobrara seaway which extended from the present day Gulf of Mexico north through Canada. From the exposed sides, visitors can see layers of a gray gypsum mineral deposit and Ostrea congesta shells. The Keyhole Arch…which I had heard of, was a major reason why I was intent on seeing these rocks and area. This arch continues to grow wider each year. Someday the top part will collapse, leaving spires instead. The Keyhole Arch is a relatively new name—an unknown photographer (Not Me) came up with this description.
People from this area have watched it expand through the years...
