  1. Wareham Museum's geology display makes the connection between the Wytch Farm oil field (Europe’s second largest onshore oilfield) and the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site which is the same rock sequence but tilted on its side and exposed by the sea. The oil was generated in the Lower Jurassic rocks that are exposed...

  2. The Paw Paw Tunnel on the C&O Canal exposes some fine geology, like these Brallier Formation slabs which, here, dip into the Tunnel Hollow, with a potential for breaking off and slipping down into the valley.

  3. Berti and Edi explore a mineralized roadcut adjacent to one of the gold mines at Hemlo, Ontario.

  4. This is the wide view of a roadcut in diopside-rich metasedimentary rocks south of Tupper Lake in the Adirondacks. A second macroGigaPan of a portion near the south end of this outcrop is also uploading.

  5. As North America collided with the Chopawamsic Terrane during the Taconian orogeny, temperatures within the crust started to rise. As things got warmer, partial melting occured. Minerals present in the graywacke that had low melting temperatures, like quartz, potassium feldspar, and muscovite mica (felsic minerals) all...

  6. This is a closer view of the geologically interesting part of another GigaPan that's currently uploading.

  7. The outermost unit of the Port Coldwell alkalic complex.

  8. View of the "La Mort-Anglaise" antiform. The antiform consists of rocks of the upper part of the "Grès Armoricain Formation" (Lower Ordovician). On the northern side of the antiform a dolerite dyke (Jurassic) is present.

  9. There is one rock exposed along the Billy Goat Trail which is a bit more enigmatic. It is amphibolite, a metamorphic rock very rich in the mineral amphibole (a.k.a. hornblende), which shows up as black in this picture. The white portions of the rock are plagioclase feldspar. This is a very mafic metamorphic rock, with ...

  10. Collected in the Sierra Nevada, California. 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/
