Tillite Spur (USA) | 85° 59' 00.0" S | 126° 36' 00.0" W | Spur |
Name ID: 132714
Place ID: 14722
A narrow, steep-cliffed rock spur, 3 mi long, descending from southern Wisconsin Plateau between Red Spur and Polygon Spur and terminating at the E side of Olentangy Glacier. Mapped by USGS from surveys and USN air photos, 1960-64. The name was proposed by John H. Mercer, USARP geologist to this area in 1964-65, because tillite extends the length of the spur above its granitic cliffs. |
