  4. The Massanutten Sandstone is a Silurian-aged quartz arenite that crops out in the center of the greater Shenandoah Valley. It is resistant to erosion, and holds up the ridges of the Massanutten mountain system. To explore the outcrop this was collected from, click here: gigapan.com/gigapans/113759 Image...

  5. This outcrop is located on Rt 522 on the western limb of the Mt Pleasant Syncline showing Devonian-age marine clastic sediments of the Foreknobs Formation. This is the lower section of the Foreknobs, which is the Mallow Member according to current stratigraphic division This image is part of the MAGIC (Mid Atlantic ...

  6. This outcrop of the late Ordovician Martinsburg Formation is located on Route 644 in Shenandoah County, about 60 feet above the North Fork of the Shenandoah River. At this outcrop, bedding is oriented 042°, 72° (right hand rule: it strikes N42°E, and dips 72° to the southeast). Cleavage is oriented 212°, 83° (...
