  1. State Route 3 through the northern Adirondacks is know to geologists as "The Anorthosite Highway" because of its spectacular cuts throught the Marcy Massif anorthosite unit. This is the third of a series of three GigaPans I shot at this roadcut to illustate the anorthosite at a range of scales.

Roaring Brook on Giant Mountain in the Adirondacks holds a special place in my heart because it was the site (a bit further upstream) of my first geology research project, undertaken as an undergrad at Colgate University. The falls occur where the hanging valley of Roaring Brook joins the main valley of the Auasble Ri...

  4. Anorthosites metamorphosed to granulite facies underly most of the High Peaks region of the Adirondack Mountains in upstate New York. This sample illustrates beautiful examples of garnet coronas around pyroxenes. This one's for you, Chief!

Counts of tree rings nearby confirm that the ages of many trees in this stand approach 400 years. These ages, and the large number of dead standing and fallen trunks suggest that this is ...
