    Block and Ash by Ron Schott from the GigaPan Road-cut-Koko-Crater-Oahu by Richard Palmer

    Great example of a block and ash deposit. You can see how some of the larger blocks have settled into the loose unconsolidated ash. The size of the blocks is good evidence of a near-vent depositional location.

    Lateral Moraine by Ron Schott from the GigaPan Briksdal Glazier - Briksdalsbreen by John Myrstad

    Morainal material is plowed ahead or aside by advancing glaciers. Like all ice-contact deposits it is characterized by poor sorting, as evidenced here by the wide range of sediment sizes (clay to boulder sizes).

    ... are a type of brittle fracture (akin to a fault) that forms as ice expands as it moves over an obstruction in the underlying bedrock. At greater depths the ice behaves in a ductile manner as a result of higher confining pressure.
