Description

How perfect and ever changing is the ocean. Every day offers a new lighting experience. No day is the same. Although not great for swimming, the Palm coastline near St, Augustine, Marine Land, Flagler Beach and Ormond Beach in Florida offers other delights, especially for a photographer. These rocks are called Coquina and they are formed from very small shell creatures bound together like a form of cement. This photograph was taken in winter.

The wonderful small ocean waterfalls are highlighted in black and white.

Coquina is a sedimentary rock composed almost entirely of sand-size fossil debris. The fossils are usually small mollusk or gastropod shells and shell fragments. Brachiopod, trilobite, coral, ostracod and other invertebrate shell debris is present in many coquinas. The fossil debris of coquina is composed of calcium carbonate, making coquina a variety of limestone.

Coquina contains very little silt or clay-size particles, and its fossil fragments are lightly cemented together. This makes it an extremely porous rock that can serve as an aquifer for community and private water supplies. It can also serve as a reservoir for oil and natural gas.

Cochina is found several places in the Caribbean and in Florida. Also available in color.
