  3. This great little anticline is one of several accessable from the Veach Gap trail in George Washington National Forest, Fort Valley, Virginia. The rocks are from the Massanutten formation, a Silurian quartz arenite to quartzite. The folds seen here are parasitic folds which relate to the larger Massanutten Synclinorium...

  7. This is the rock outcropping as you pass on US Route 33 on the way to Judy Gap from Franklin, WV. Instead of using gigastitch software, I used Photoshop to merge these images which created a much smoother blend (warning: too many images can kill Photoshop if you don't have enough RAM).

  10. At Ableman's Gorge, a former quarry, 1.7 billion year old ripple marks form a vertical wall scores of feet high. Stop and think about what that means -- the sand that eventually became this rock was laid down at a time when the only living things on planet were unicellular. And the forces that can stand this up to vert...
