Summary

Description
English: Grounds sign for the Kansas Geological Survey in Lawrence, Kansas. It is constructed of a carved slab of Fencepost limestone set between two stone posts of the same rock.
"When Europeans settled in north-central Kansas, they found vast grasslands. With few trees available, they quarried a thin, shallow bed of Cretaceous limestone for buildings, bridges, and fenceposts. No area of the world has used a single rock formation so extensively for fencing. Today that rock layer is called Fencepost limestone and north-central Kansas is known as the Land of the Post Rock ."
