During a recent visit to the Foreste Casentinesi National Park in Tuscany, Italy, my attention was drawn to these remarkable rock outcrops. Of particular interest is the steep angle of the strata. The park is located in the northern portion of the Apennine mountain range, which forms the backbone of the Italian Peninsula. The geology of this area is characterized by alternating layers of grey marl and sandstone, residuals of ancient sea sediments brought to the surface during the beginning stages of the formation of the Apennine Mountains.
