Geology: Upper Kinni These rocks, called erratics, make for good rock hounding, and bright eyed collectors The geology professors at UWRF are happy to help you identify rocks http://www.lambcom.net/krlt/GeologyOfTheUpperKinni.html
Extractions: The Geology of the Upper Kinnickinnic* William S. Cordua, Department of Plant and Earth Science University of Wisconsin, River Falls The many geological features we can see in the valley - the bedrock in the bluffs, the sands and gravels along the river banks and the boulders on the hilltops-all reveal parts of the earth's long history. The earliest event recorded here is the deposition of the bedrock that underlies the river channel and the bluffs. This occurred about 450 million years ago. At that time, Wisconsin was covered by a warm shallow sea, just south of the equator, thanks to the slow "drifting" of the continents as they ride on the earth's tectonic plates. The bedrock consists of 5 different formations. The lowest one is a lime- stone formation called the Prairie du Chien Group. This is easiest to see along the canyon walls in River Falls, but scattered outcrops of this rock can be found here and there further north. This is overlain by a white sandstone called the St. Peter Formation. Even though this is a very soft rock, it does outcrop along the slopes of the bluffs and is well exposed in roadcuts such as those along the River Falls bypass. This is overlain by a thin unit called the Glenwood Shale, a soft grayish- green clayey rock mixed with sand- stone. About the only place to see this rock is in new roadcuts. On top of the Glenwood is the Platteville Formation, a durable lime- stone that caps most of the bluffs around here. Slabs of this rock contain fossil shellfish, snails, and corals. Most of the quarries near the up- per Kinni are in this formation. It is often used as crushed stone, decorative stone or even for walls and foundation as "flag stone." On top of the Platteville rests the Decorah Formation, a dark gray shale with lenses of limestone. When it breaks down, the Decorah makes very heavy, clay soils. This limestone also has a lot of fossil shellfish in it. Most of the known Decorah outcrops are along roadcuts east of River Falls. To the north it is largely covered by the more recent glacial debris.
