This Baraboo Quartzite outcrop named in honor of UW Prof. Charles R. Van Hise renowned geologist conservationist & President of UW was used to demonstrate changes that occur in rocks during periods of mountain formation. His Baraboo Hills observations helped develop his groundbreaking concepts of structural/metamorphic geology. Later the concepts were universally accepted as principles of structural geology. It's now the one most important locality to demonstrate these principles. photo
