  1. This is a highly deformed section of the Devonian Foreknobs Formation exposed near Bergton Va. The Foreknobs Formation ( formerly known as the Chemung) is a mixed package of brownish red to grey sandstone siltstone shale and minor conglomerate. This formation is part of the Catskill Delta, a shallowing upward sequence...

  2. Miri Road Cut - this geosite in Miri, Sarawak, Borneo, Malaysia is a classic site for observing sedimentary rock, and faulting. It is visited by geology fans and students from around the world.

  3. Here is a new outcrop I discovered along the newest unfinished portion of Corridor H in WV. I think this is likely the Tonoloway formation. You can see several good normal faults in this gigapan which are dipping to the east. Image made as part of the MAGIC project (Mid Atlantic Geo-Image Collection)

  4. The Genoa Fault forms this large fault scarp on the western side of the Carson Valley at the foot of the Sierra Nevada. The inclination of the fault plane towards the viewer, the height of the Sierra Nevada, and the presence of Sierran granite in the footwall of the fault makes this a large normal fault. Slickensides, ...

  5. A closeup of the Genoa Fault shows Quaternary alluvium on the right downfaulted against Sierran granite on the left. The fault motion of the footwall block (left) moving up relative to the headwall block (right) makes this a normal fault. Since unconsolidated Quaternary sediments are involved in the faulting, the fault...

  6. This is the range-front fault on the eastern side of the Sierra Nevada in Genoa, Nevada. The smooth grey granite face is the fault plane. In the distance down-dropped alluvial material is visible faulted right up against the fault plane. The Sierra Nevada (left side) is moving up relative the Carson Valley (right side)...

  7. The Palo Colorado Fault crops out behind and underneath the stairs in this view of the sea cliff of Garrapata Beach in Big Sur, California. Zooming in on the fault zone reveals slickensides on the granites to the left (northeast side of the fault), and bedding on the turbidite sedimentary rocks to the right (southwest ...

  8. The seacliff at Garrapata Beach exposes granite on the left (north) and Cretaceous sedimentary rocks on the right (south). The contact between the two is the Palo Colorado Fault, which is exposed beneath the stairs. The granite is Cretaceous in age (~!00 Ma), as are the sedimentary rocks. The sedimentary rocks are comp...
