Without actually seeing Castle Rock, I can't give you a specific explanation, just that it has to be something a little different from the others you've been seeing composition-wise. I'm doing a quick bit o' Googling and the first comment I saw was something to the effect of "If I were a geologist, I'd tell you that Castle Rock is really a fascinating geological formation, but I'm not, so I won't." Apparently there are a bunch of cinder cones in the area, so I'm gonna go with something igneous - scoria, a gas-rich basalt associated with cinder cones, is often very red. But without actually seeing it, heck if I know. I can't find anything that actually wants to tell me a book-answer either. Story has it that we get pressure ridges in the ice out on Lake Ontario later in the winter when the nearshore freezes up. I'll have to see if I can get some pictures for comparison! -- Dave About time you got back to posting!
