  2. This outcrop is located along the new portions of West Virginia Route 55 west of the town of Moorefield. The view is looking at the south side of the freeway and is the on the eastern side of an incredible roadcut exposure of folded paleozoic sedimentary strata over 500 meters long. I shot this location as several sta...

  3. This outcrop is located along the new portions of West Virginia Route 55 west of the town of Moorefield. This outcrop is the on the north side of rt 55 and matches a gigapan set taken from the opposite side of highway: www.gigapan.com/gigapans/103089 www.gigapan.com/gigapans/103090 This example of ...

  6. This box shaped anticline is exposed along the New West Virginia Route 55 west of the town of Moorefield. This example of tectonic folding is seen in Silurian/Devonian limestones, siltstones and shales likely from the Tonoloway Formation. Geologists interpret this sequence of rocks as evidence of a period of tectoni...

  7. Here is another look at faulted eastern limb of the Whipcove Anticline featured along the New WV Route 55. See others here.http://www.gigapan.com/gigapans/98427 www.gigapan.com/gigapans/103070

  8. This outcrop is located along the new portions of West Virginia Route 55 west of the town of Moorefield. The view is looking at the south side of the freeway and overlooking the total extent of an incredible road-cut exposure of folded paleozoic sedimentary strata over 500 meters long.

  9. This roadcut is one of several exposed along the new West Virginia Route 55 or Corridor H, From Wardensville to Petersburg. This location is about .5 miles east of Baker WV and features some wacky folded limestones and shales. These are likely part of the Silurian-aged Tonoloway Formation. View of the Camera is lokk...

  10. This roadcut is one of several exposed along the newly constructed West Virginia Route 55, also known as Corridor H. This location is about 4 miles west of Baker WV and features a crisp anticlinal fold in red sandstone, siltstone and shale. These folded sedimentary strata are likely from the Devonian Greenland Gap Grou...
