Description

Folded layers of the Hebron Gneiss, Gillette Castle State Park (CT).

Up section from the other pans of this rock unit (gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=11212, gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=11171), where the original rocks were a bit less competent - so the layers folded rather than shearing.

More info on the geology of the park can be found at www.ct.gov/dep/cwp/view.asp?a=2716&q=325132&depNav_GID=1650 Will open in a new tab or window
We were here as part of a CCSU geology field trip - the field methods students sketched the folds and recorded their observations, while the structural geology students stuck around to measure the axes of the folds to determine stress directions at a later date.
