Observation Narrative
Bedrock here appears to be reddish, shaly siltstone of Triassic age, outcropping in a series of large ledges on a bluff overlooking the Bannister River. A fairly extensive edaphically controlled woodland occupies the bluffs and steep slopes above, harboring VA's only known occurrence of Anemone berlandieri. The woodland community is rather large and pristine. Trees measured (dbh in cm.): Pinus virginiana (30), Carya glabra (22).
