These photos show the demise of Jump-off Joe, a sea stack at Nye Beach, Newport, Oregon. In 1890, the sea stack, composed of middle Miocene concretionary sandstone of the Astoria Formation, was a prominent Newport feature. Yaquina Head on the horizon is composed of middle Miocene basalt flows and breccia. 100 years later, wave action entirely eroded the stack, reducing it to only a few remnants.
