Wichita Mountains Continued from Page 17


and are seen primarily on the west side of the Refuge. For the most part, they are low-lying, just protruding from the earth. The Doris Campground is a good place to see gabbro. The most obvious rocks—Mount Scott is literally a pile of them—are granite. Also an igneous rock (one having solidified from magma or lava), the granite is about 10 mil- lion years younger than the gabbro. Compositionally, Mount Scott granite is made up of feldspar, quartz, mica, magnetite and biotite. The granite here cooled quickly giving crystals little time to form. Quanah Parker granite, which is found in areas to the south and west of Mount Scott cooled more slowly and has a rougher texture. As you ascend 2,467 feet to the top of


Mount Scott, look for a river of boulders on the left. Weathering and erosion caused the rocks to break away from larger sections of granite, and eventually, many rolled into drainage depressions.


Another interesting spot is found by the Lake Elmer Thomas Dam. Park in the lot on the north side of the lake and walk a short way west. The granite cliffs here were part of a quarry so the smooth sides you see are not natural. Look for a streak of black rock run- ning down the cliff. This is a “dike” (a long mass of igneous rock cutting across adjacent rock) of diabase, a fi ne-grained gabbro, in the granite. How do scientists know how old the rocks


are? “Using radioactive isotopes present in the


rock, and knowing the rate at which those isotopes change, we can determine a rock’s age,” Koll says.


And it’s not just the rocks that are old. “Scientists have discovered that the roots of some of the trees in the Refuge are a couple thousand years old, even though the trees currently growing from these roots may only be a couple hundred years old,” he says.


The Refuge Visitor Center has displays on the geology, fl ora and fauna of the Refuge as well as a 15-minute fi lm, “The Wild Side of Eden,” about the Refuge and its history. The Wichita Mountains and the Wildlife


Refuge are among Oklahoma’s most trea- sured attractions. And although the Wichita Mountains might not be mightiest, but they defi nitely rock!


Coming Soon


The Medicine Park Aquarium and Natural Sciences Center is scheduled to open later this year. In addition to aquatic animals, a botanic and wildfl ower garden will feature native plants. A discovery trail through the garden will lead visitors to several special exhibits including an Earth Sciences Cen- ter with explanatory material on the geology of the area.


According to Cotton Electric Co- operative member Doug Kemper, aquarium director, Cotton Electric has played a great part in the mu- seum’s creation.


“They’re not only a charter member of the organization but a working partner,” he says.


Pergolas and kiosks throughout the property are being built with repurposed utility poles—just one of the ways the cooperative is making this new multi-sensory experience possible.
