This sandstone is at the shoreline level at Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore on Lake Superior. Glacial pebbles and cobbles along the beach settle into low spots in the sandstone. Then, wave action causes them to abrade their way down into the sandstone, making potholes. Most of the small rocks are igneous rocks that are harder than the sandstone.
