The Wagon Rock Project (WRP) is a study of the sedimentology and structure of a sand-rich portion of the Cretaceous-Paleocene deep-marine "Merle Formation" in the northern Santa Lucia Range, California. Measured stratigraphic sections, mapped photomosaics, and an electronic distance measurement device (EDM) and theodolite survey, provide the basis for creating a rectified 2-D cross section for the south face of Wagon Caves Rock (WCR).
