  1. This GigaPan illustrates an exposure of the basal Cambrian Potsdam Sandstone nonconformably overlying Precambrian gneisses at the eastern edge of the Adirondack Mts uplift. My field assistants took time out from exploring this remarkable contact to pose for the GigaPan. Berti is standing directly on the unconformity ...

  2. Adirondack Mountains, New York. 43 degrees F, winds 5-10 mph, visibility 60 miles. 8x40 image, Canon S5

My primary goal in shooting this macroGigaPan was to illustrate sedimentary structures including those spectacular weathered crossbeds near the bottom of this image.

  4. Large panorama of a roadcut near Gouverneur, NY known as "The Trainwreck". There are remarkable boudinage features in this high-grade marble that mark the train cars scattered off the track.

  5. This is a very large roadcut opposite a convenient pullout west of Hague, NY. The rocks exposed here is a metasedimentary gneiss of sillimanite+K-feldspar grade known as kinzigite. A MacroGigaPan illustrating smaller scale features such as feldspar-cored augen can be seen here: share.gigapan.org/viewGigapan....

  6. Just down the road from "The Trainwreck", this is another roadcut through marble in the Adirondack Lowlands east of Gourvernour, NY. The "Steer's Head" is located left of center and there are more boudinage features in the marble further to the right. Can you spot Edi and Berti?
