The southern shores of Lake Ontario are a treasure trove of geological history and diversity. Here are some of the notable rocks you might find: Sedimentary Rocks: These include clastic sedimentary rocks like sandstone, siltstone, and conglomerate, which are formed from pre-existing rock fragments that have been weathered and moved to a depression or basin where sediment is trapped. Gneiss and Granitic Pebbles: These rocks are often found in the area, with some displaying ruby red garnets. Lucky Rocks: Black pebbles with white bands of calcium carbonate are considered lucky rocks, believed to have been formed after the stone cracked apart deep underground. Glacial Till: This includes stones from the Canadian Shield and the Adirondacks, as well as local sandstone and limestone pebbles.
