The KT boundary layer is located on top of the grey sediments near the base of the hill. It separates the uppermost part of the Lance Formation (Cretaceous, rocks on the foreground at right and under the prairie) from the Tullock Member of the Fort Union Formation (Tertiary)

. Get ready to dig into a prehistoric adventure as we transport you back in time with this photo print! Captured by the talented Francois Gohier, this image takes us to a hill near Sussex, Wyoming, where geological wonders await. Behold the magnificent layers of rock formations that tell an ancient tale. At first glance, it may seem like just another hill, but hidden within lies a significant boundary - the K-T boundary layer. This line separates the Cretaceous Lance Formation from the Tertiary Tullock Member of the Fort Union Formation. Imagine standing on that very spot and witnessing history unfold before your eyes! The grey sediments at its base hold clues about Earth's past and mark a pivotal moment in geology and paleontology. It's here that scientists have unearthed evidence of an extinction event that wiped out dinosaurs and paved the way for new life forms. Join us on this scientific journey filled with excitement, as researchers conduct field studies and excavations amidst breathtaking landscapes. From digging deep into these ancient rocks to unraveling mysteries millions of years old – there's never a dull moment! So grab your pickaxe (metaphorically speaking) and embark on an unforgettable adventure through time with "FG-EA-727 (GEOLOGY: K-T boundary site)".
