GEOLOGIC HISTORY OF CAPE COD, MASSACHUSETTS

https://pubs.usgs.gov/gip/capecod/glacial.html

The rocks are remnants of the last ice age, which ended about 24,000 years ago. The rocks were left behind as the ice sheet retreated and the climate warmed.

Explanation

The Laurentide Ice Sheet covered the northern third of North America.

As the ice sheet retreated, it gouged out areas that are now Nauset Inlet and Town Cove.

The ice sheet dropped giant boulders and cobble rocks as it retreated.

The landscape of Cape Cod has been shaped by wind, waves, and streams since the glaciers retreated.

2. How are rocks shined?

We use the following product to shine the rocks:

RUST-OLEUM /Ultimate Control 5-in-1 Gloss Clear Enamel 

Is Rustoleum spray paint non-toxic?

Rust-Oleum® paints are unleaded and safe for use on toys and furniture. Once the paint is fully cured, the solvents have evaporated and are no longer in the coating, making it non-hazardous.

3. What glue do you use for the eyes?

The eyes are added with Elmers Washable Clear Glue to bring out the character of each pet. We glue them on, so they come ready to see their new world.

4. Are the rocks toys?

The Rocks are not toys or intended for children under 3 years of age.  -*Warning* – This is a choking hazard.

5. What comes with my rock?

Each rock is unique and comes in a canvas pouch with a dish to hold a small bag of Cape Cod sand so the rock can sit upright. The package also comes with an adoption certificate.
