  1. This massive syncline is in the Devonian-aged cherty limestones and sandstones of the Helderburg Group. This is outcrop is featured along the newest stretch of the West Virginia new route 55, near the town of Forman. Image made as part of the MAGIC project (Mid-Atlantic Geo-Imagery Collection)

  3. Exposed in a roadcut just south of Wawa, Ontario, this is one of the Banded Iron Formations (BIFs) in a greenstone belt of the Superior Province.

  4. Crossing the southern Bighorn Range in Wyoming on Highway 16, there is a nice outcrop that illustrates (in part) the geologic history of Wyoming. Perspective of the gigapan is looking from south to north. The outcrop is on the eastern side of the Bighorn Laramide Uplift. From left (west) to right (east), we see the Gro...

  5. The north side of the Interstate 68 roadcut at Sideling Hill nicely exposes the syncline that holds up the crest of this long Appalachian ridge. How many geologic units can you identfy?

  6. Interstate 68 passed through Sideling Hill in a way that makes geologists and civil engineers salivate. You can see the benched, blasted roadcuts well in this GigaPan. The geology, though visible here, will be seen more clearly in the GigaPan that I shot from the opposite side of the highway.

  7. Just southeast of Pinnacles National Monument and just west of San Benito, CA the San Andreas fault crosses the Airline Highway. See if you can find (the) fault in this GigaPan.

  9. I'd love to have had just a little more elevation for this one.

  10. Probably a Basin & Range normal fault, you can see its trace distinctly where the orange Tertiary lacustrine sediments with hoodoos but up abrubtly against dark basalt.
