  1. This is a closer view of the geologically interesting part of another GigaPan that's currently uploading.

  2. A big chunk of granite that makes up some archways in the gardens. I think it's from Texas??? I'll double check that and update when I learn more.

  3. The Rocky Islands are exposures of Proterozoic-age metagraywacke of the Mather Gorge Formation. Graywacke is a "dirty" sandstone deposited by turbidity currents in submarine fans (a.k.a. "abyssal fans"), which are essentially big piles of sediment in deep ocean basins. This is likely the original enviro...

  5. I couldn't find a perch for the tripod so I shot these remarkable pods of sodalite, exposed on a glacially polished surface, by hand.

  6. View of the "La Mort-Anglaise" antiform. The antiform consists of rocks of the upper part of the "Grès Armoricain Formation" (Lower Ordovician). On the northern side of the antiform a dolerite dyke (Jurassic) is present.

  8. Wareham Museum's geology display makes the connection between the Wytch Farm oil field (Europe’s second largest onshore oilfield) and the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site which is the same rock sequence but tilted on its side and exposed by the sea. The oil was generated in the Lower Jurassic rocks that are exposed...

It is thought that boulders of Weverton quartzite from South Mountain on the west and Catoctin metabasalt from the east weathered out of their respective mountains and wer...

  10. This was intended to be a GIGAmacro of a lovely sample from the Konnarock Formation in southeastern Virginia. And it is, technically. It is not, however, a successful one. We encountered three problems with this shoot. The first is inconsistent overlapping, which manifests here as areas that appear to display an unu...
