On this dive I blazed past Titanic depth at 12,000 ft and was only a third of the way down, and the numbers keep going up and up and up on the depth gauge. You just kind of look at them with a sense of disbelief, and you wonder if the bottom is ever going to be there..
Ocala Chert. Ocala Chert (also known as Coastal Plain Chert), is a beige to cream-colored rock that occurs as float across much of southeastern Alabama (e.g., Houston and Henry Counties). It was the lithic material of choice for people living in southeast Alabama for the manufacture of chipped-stone tools such as spear points and knives.
Alabama is comprised of coastal plains at the Gulf of Mexico turning to hills and broken terrain in the north. Five major land areas make up the Alabama landscape with more than two thirds of the state covered by the East Gulf Coastal Plain.
