- Lone Rock Point is a promontory north of Burlington, Vermont and on the eastern shore of Lake Champlain. It is publicly accessible via a trail network and sits on land owned by the Episcopal Diocese of Vermont. The site is of geologic significance for its spectacular exposure of a thrust contact between the Cambrian-aged Dunham Dolomite and the Middle-Ordovician . The thrust fault exposed at this location is regionally called the Champlain Thrust which formed during the Taconic Orogeny. At this site, the stratigraphic throw of the Champlain Thrust measures about 8,850 feet. The site is arguably the most visited structural geology feature in all of New England and is featured in many structural geology text books as a classic example of a thrust fault. (en)
