Photo 6. Pillows beautifully exposed at Condon Point in South Brooksville. Some of the pillows in the foreground show fracturing that radiates from the center of the pillow. Fractures like this typically form in pillows as they cool. Another shows a core that is mostly filled with calcite. These pillows are part of the Castine Formation and are about 500 million years old. (Photo: F. Beck)
