Organ Pipes National Park: Part 5

Horizontal stones at Tessellated Pavement

Vertical stones at Tessellated Pavement

Include your photos. Explain how the tessellated pavement formed. Include a photo of the vertical columns as well of the rocks that make up the pavement.

The Tessellated Pavement was formed very much the same way as the Organ Pipes was formed except that it was built on "top" rather than underneath the lava flow and everyting from the Organ Pipes. This was not shown yet as the rocks in the Tessellated Pavement is much newer than the rocks that make up the Organ Pipes.
