Route 55, West Virginia, has some extraordinary roadcuts in Paleozoic strata along Corridor H. Here's a view of some Devonian redbeds. It's the same scene as this GigaPan: gigapan.com/gigapans/111263 but up about 10 m in perspective.

Exposed along new Route 55 (Corridor H) in West Virginia between the towns of Baker and Moorefield, here are some Devonian redbeds sloughed off the Acadian Orogeny and dumped along the edge of the Kaskaskia Sea.

A nice example of plumose structure (fine-grained topographic variations that amount to "joint anatomy") on a joint face in sandstone, variably stained by iron oxide. The long vertical "tubes" are drill holes for the blasting of this road-cut. Vetch and mullein and other native West Virginia roadside vegetation may als...
