  2. As a geologist sometimes you're just driving along when Wham! out of nowhere you spot something interesting in a roadcut. In the best of circumstances there's nobody tailgating you and there's a pullout where you can get off the road to photograph the roadcut. This was one of those good situations. I think this is...

  3. Probably a Basin & Range normal fault, you can see its trace distinctly where the orange Tertiary lacustrine sediments with hoodoos but up abrubtly against dark basalt.

  4. Exposed in a roadcut just south of Wawa, Ontario, this is one of the Banded Iron Formations (BIFs) in a greenstone belt of the Superior Province.
