  1. Viewed from Frederick County (Opequon Creek is the dividing line), you can see strata of the Ordovician-aged Edinburg Formation limestones and shales. These anticlines and synclines formed during Alleghanian mountain-building in the late Paleozoic. Another set of folds is just upstream: gigapan.org/gigapans...

  2. The Acadian Orogeny took place mainly to the northeast of here. (As the name implies, Acadian-aged rocks are well-exposed in Acadia National Park in coastal Maine.) Along the Billy Goat Trail, they left one set of important structures: a series of four parallel dikes filled with the igneous rock called lamprophyre. ("L...

The source rock for the green sand GigaPan posted yesterday: gigapan.org/gigapans/98840 Image made as part of the MAGIC project (Mid-Atlantic Geo-Imagery Collection) using Northern Virginia Community College's gigamacro rig, as seen here: gigamacro.com/gigapixel-macro-imaging-system Will open in a new tab or window/

  4. This GigaPan was taken on Compton Peak in Shenandoah National Park, Virginia. The view of the camera is looking roughly west back up the hill towards the peak. These columns are in Catoctin metabasalt and are arguably the best examples of columnar jointing in Virginia. Image made as part of the MAGIC project (Mid-A...

  5. This amazing piece of float was located under the Route 15 Bridge in Point of Rocks, MD. My current thinking is that the lower left corner is Catoctin formation but I am scratching my head over the upper right portion. Perhaps it is also Catoctin Metabasalt just with a different, more rigid consistancy. However, the p...

  6. Non-welded rhyolitic pyroclastics from the F2 ashfall layer of the Bishop Tuff. Age: 760 Ka. The petri dish is 9 cm in diameter. Image made as part of the MAGIC project (Mid-Atlantic Geo-Imagery Collection) using Northern Virginia Community College's gigamacro rig, as seen here: gigamacro.com/gigapixel-m Will open in a new tab or window...

  7. 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. This fine example of tectonic ...

  8. LIDAR imagery provided by Dan Doctor, USGS Reston. This map view shows fine-scale topographic variation along the western Blue Ridge front, where the Blue Ridge geologic / physiographic province meets the easternmost Valley & Ridge province (Shenandoah Valley). The most striking feature is the beautiful expressio...

  9. The Brallier Formation shale is a Devonian-aged turbidite sequence shed off the Acadian orogeny. This sample was collected from an outcrop on new New Route 55, just west of Moorefield, WV. The Brallier Formation can be seen in this image by Alan Pitts: gigapan.org/gigapans/97256 Image made as part of the M...

  10. Looking at an anticline in the Ordovician-aged Edinburg Formation from Frederick County, Virginia, on the western shore of Opequon Creek, gazing across into Clarke County. Strata are Ordovician; deformation is Alleghanian (late Paleozoic). Another set of folds is just upstream: gigapan.org/gigapans/120300 ...
