  1. Thrust fault exposed along the road to Dante's View.

  2. Can you find the evidence of post-glacial normal faulting in this GigaPan?

  3. The low scarp just beyond my Jeep marks the trace of the surface rupture of the 1872 Lone Pine M~7.8 Earthquake (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1872_Lone_Pine_earthquake Will open in a new tab or window). The quake occured on a normal fault that bounds the east side of the Alabama Hills and displaced the surface here over 10 vertical feet - in addition...

  4. One of the most famous of localities that demonstrates right lateral offset (of the Wallace Creek streambed, in this case) across the San Andreas Fault.

  5. This is a exposure of the lower 40-50m of the Late Miocene Gatun Formation at a quarry near Colon

  6. This is another panorama of Culebra Cut, shot from Gold Hill. It stretches from the Centennial Bridge (south), 180 degrees to the north.

  7. Outside the entrance to Capitol Reef National Park is this particular outcrop - the red layers are offset just to the left of the mesa at the right side of the pan (I'll snapshot it...). There's a nice description of the geology on a nearby plaque (not visible here....)

  8. This was intended to be a panorama showing the Heart Mountain Detachment surface. I was hoping the clouds would clear away. Instead, they soon filled the view.

  9. Limestone Bluff Cedar-Pine Forest at Lone Rock Point, Vermont – Dunham dolostone (Cambrian, light color) has been thrust to the west as much as 80 km (50 miles) and rests here on top of much younger Iberville shale (Ordovician, black). The contrasting appearance of the two rock types, and the ca. 50 million year diff...
