These pics are wonderful ! I don't know the english words, but in France we say "synclinorium" for the first one, and "synclinal" for the second one (It exists "anticlinal" too).

Great photos Nando and Auspex. I'll have some contributions later when I get home and go through my Panoramas. In the meantime, if you like to see folds and learn about some of the processes that go into making them check out this blog: http://mountainbeltway.wordpress.com/

WOW... I know this place, it is on my way to WV. Did you found fossils there? ;)

Collecting is not permitted, but there is (was?) a visitor's interpretive center; due to budget cuts, it may no longer be open...I just don't know.

Dave - thanks for posting this link.

Not only is the Syncline/anticline article great, but the book review beneath it was interesting as well.

Thanks again for posting the link.

Regards,

PS - Great pics, Nando and Auspex!

Thanks for sharing those.

Very Interesting thread Nando! Thanks for starting it!.

Oooo... I wanna go there!

But for now I have this, a complex fold in part of the Appalachians.

post-1408-032481000 1283548609_thumb.jpg

and this is a view of the side of a tightly folded anticline/syncline series of folds near Shamokin, PA. You can see a cross section of the folds on the left and the large hump running from left to right is call the "Whaleback".

A closer view of the cross section

Just found a few more pics in my field trip archives. These were found in a a moraine in Rocky Mountain National Park. Had they been smaller, it not been a national park and not on a steep mountainside... They would have come home with me. :)

Guetaria, Guipuzkoa, Northern Spain. Near the K/T boundary.

This 4-5 kilometres flysch cliffs, are very famous, because they have been studied for many years by American, European and Japanese scientists.

Why? Apart from the K/T boundary, with the iridium-rich layer, this place is one of the few places on earth that you can find two major boundaries: the K/T and the Paleocene/Eocene one. Most of it haven`t got macrofossils, except for the oldest layers (black flysch), with a strange gigantic fauna of ammonites that in other places are rare or common, but haven`t got this size.

Sorry! This is NOT Guetaria. Is ZUMAIA.

Hi all,

Nice topic! This is folding (and refolding) on a relatively small scale at the Cap de Creus, Spain. The whole peninsula near the lighthouse is made up of little structures like this one; enough to make a second year geology student (I was one back when I took the photo) despair, ha-ha.

Cheers,

Tim
