  2. Normal fault in the Fort Hays member of the Cretaceous Niobrara Formation, south of Stockton, Kansas. These chalk beds were originally deposited in the shallow Western Interior Seaway about 80 million years ago. The thick beds of the Fort Hays member are extensively bioturbated. Faulting is post-Cretaceous and pre-Q...

  3. One for the geology buffs - white limestone sheets folded vertically. Also a favourite with climbers, though they were finishing for lunch as we arrived to gigapan it from Lydstep Point. Skrinkle Haven beyond this is the subject of another gigapan - taken from Whitesheet Rock... See also gigapan.org/gigapans/515...

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

  6. 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...

  7. Geological contact between the older crystalline rocks and the overlying sandstone. The blue at the end is there to make the panorama large enough for the site.

  8. 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.

  9. 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?

  10. Sevier age thrust fault at Ketobe Knob on the south side of Cedar Mountain in the San Rafael Swell, southeast of Cleveland, Utah. This is the iconic outcrop of the second major structure/geologic mapping project of the Fort Hays State University Geology Summer Field Camp. For more information about our field camp see...
