  1. 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.

  2. 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...

  3. A famous locality for structural geologists outside Shamokin, Pennsylvania. The Whaleback, the low ridge in the center of the quarry, is the surface of an anticline exposed by coal mining. On the left (east) wall of the quarry one can see the anticline-syncline pair that was the subject of my first ever GigaPan (shot...

  4. As a geologist sometimes you're just driving along when Wham! out of nowhere you spot something interesting in a roadcut. In the best of circumstances there's nobody tailgating you and there's a pullout where you can get off the road to photograph the roadcut. This was one of those good situations. I think this is...

  5. 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.

  6. The West Castleton Fold was the subject of my second ever (non-robotic) GigaPan (share.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=1204).This shot illustrates the axial region of a recumbant syncline in the Poultney Formation of the Giddings Brook Slice of the Taconic Allochthon. This outcrop is a textbook example of axia...

  7. A wide view of the West Castleton Fold. The West Castleton Fold was also the subject of my second ever (non-robotic) GigaPan (share.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=1204). Lighting was not optimal this time, but I did the best with what I had. Unfortunately, there would not have been time to shoot bracketed HDR...
