This is a quick little site to wrap everything up. Most of what is discussed here in a comparison of these cracks to the cracks at site two. Take a look a look at the posting for site two to refresh you memory. These cracks are wider, appear deeper, and the rock itself is much more rounded. The acid test revealed that this rock is limestone. The same test performed at site 2 yielded dolostone. Because limestone is more susceptible to chemical weathering by the acidic runoff, the rocks here show greater weathering, thus the larger cracks.
