The basalt at Mole Hill (and other igneous dikes in the area) was originally thought to be of Paleozoic age by relative age dating using cross-cutting relationships. [1] In 1969, Fullagar and Bottino used K-Ar and Rb-Sr radiometric dating techniques to date rocks that they thought were temporally related to the Devonian Tioga Bentonite, but discovered that the rocks were actually a much ...
Volcano: The Blast Coaster, or simply Volcano, was an inverted launched roller coaster located at Kings Dominion in Doswell, Virginia, United States. Designed by Werner Stengel , it was the first launched roller coaster manufactured by Intamin and the first of its kind in the world to be inverted.
The volcano is composed of alkali feldspar granitic rock of the Robertson River Igneous Suite.This includes felsic complex material such as biotite, hornblende-biotite, magnetite, and alkali granitic rock including rhyolite on the eastern slopes of Battle Mountain [5] and the adjacent (and geologically related) Little Battle Mountain (elevation 937 feet).
The Mount Rogers area contains a unique record of the geohistory of Virginia. There is evidence from the rocks that volcanoes were part of the landscape. Roughly 760 million years ago, rift-related (divergent) volcanoes erupted along the axis of what later became the Appalachians, and one remnant of that volcanic zone, with its volcanic rocks, still can be seen at Mount Rogers.

The oval, bowl-like valley (or "cove") is known for its fertile land and was once the bed of an ancient sea.About 8.5 miles (13.7 km) long and 4 miles (6.4 km) wide, it resembles a large asteroid impact or volcanic crater in satellite photographs and on topographic maps; however, it is actually a dome-shaped geologic up-warp that exposed older Ordovician aged limestone which is much more ...
