Lone Rock Point has several pieces that seem unusual but with further research makes sense on how they have come to be.Lots of Dunham Dolostone were present meaning calcium rich shells were once present as Dolostone is a type of limestone. Dunham Dolostone is easily erodible which creates the caves around Lone Rock Point. The Calcium is good for vegetation and is clear through seeing Calcium Rich Site Indicators like Basswood and Herbaceous Plants. The Champlain Thrust Fault has Dunham Dolostone on top and Iberville Shale on the bottom. This is despite the Dunham Dolostone being there first as during the Taconic Orogeny plate movement led to pressure to build leading the bedrock to buckle. Rock Point has a very unique shape. Rock Point is a large deposit from the glacial melt that formed Lake Vermont 15,000 years ago. The “Mesic Maple Ash Hickory Oak Forest” has less enriched soil with Sugar Maple, Red Maple, White Oak, Red Oak, White Ash, Shagbark trees all present. The Shagbark Hickory is home to the Indiana bat which is rare to Vermont. All of the trees allow songbirds to feed and breed freely. The dense forest is also good for White Tailed Deer, Mice, Chipmunks, Squirrels to reside. The “White Pine-Transition Hardwood Forest” has lots of White Pines present. This is due to the land being largely clean cut in the mid 1800s for subsistence farming and having an apple orchard. This farm took up lots of land at the time so the White Pine makes up a large portion of forest composition. The wetlands are made up of areas with silty and clay soils. Due to being close to North Shore the Red Maple Swamp has trash blown in. The wetfields allow American Woodcock to dance and Vernal Pools allow amphibians to lay there eggs.
