Nandomas Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Sometime we understimate the power of Nature.

Coco Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 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). ---------------------- OUTIL POUR MESURER VOS FOSSILES : ici Ma bibliothèque PDF 1 (Poissons et sélaciens récents & fossiles) : ici Ma bibliothèque PDF 2 (Animaux vivants - sans poissons ni sélaciens) : ici Mâchoires sélaciennes récentes : ici Hétérodontiques et sélaciens : ici Oeufs sélaciens récents : ici Otolithes de poissons récents ! ici Un Greg...

Shamalama Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Great photos Nando and Auspex. I'll have some contributions later when I get home and go through my Panoramas.

Auspex Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 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.

Shamalama Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Oooo... I wanna go there! But for now I have this, a complex fold in part of the Appalachians. 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 -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers.

Shamalama Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 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. -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers.

MOROPUS Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 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.

paleoflor Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 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.
