Photo: Ultramafic Rock Slab
A slab of ultramafic rock called Peridotite lays exposed to the elements along the Tablelands trail in Gros Morne National Park, Newfoundland.
This slab of rock which looks more like a mosaic piece of art, was deep within the heart of the earth.
Thought to have been pushed up during a collision between the African and American tectonic plates some hundred millions of years ago, this slab of ultramafic rock - peridotite, is a geologist's holy grail.
