a few million years of water erosion.

This whole area was prehistoric sea, then the glaciers cut it all and receded.

That's why we have gas wells and salt mines.

it was a Paleozoic Era sea, the life was simple multi cell sea creatures.

The rich gas deposits are from huge deposits of algae and microscopic life that got buried and decomposed.

So no Dino fossils.

The massive salt vein runs from New York state all the way to Canada.

when the water all evaporated, it left behind the salt.
