Quartz Pebble Hill

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Quartz Pebble Hill (84°44′S, 113°59′W) is a flat-topped elevation on the north escarpment of Buckeye Table, Ohio Range, in the Horlick Mountains. The hill is located where Discovery Ridge joins the main escarpment. The rock that forms the hill is composed of sandstone and quartz pebble conglomerate. The name was suggested by William E. Long, geologist of the Ohio State University expedition, who worked in these mountains in 1960-61 and 1961-62.
