  2. The contact between the metasedimentary Fauquier Formation (uppermost marble member) and the overlying metavolcanic Catoctin Formation is exposed in an abandoned quarry north of Aldie, Virginia, across Goose Creek from Lime Kiln Road.

  7. A roadcut through Columbia River Flood Basalts that were erupted into a shallow body of water. The basaltic lava interacted with the water to form both pillows and palagonite. Edi and Berti did a little rockclimbing here, too.

  8. Located near the Sir James Open Pit this exposure is now somewhat weathered, but if you look closely you can see the outlines of some spectacular pillow lavas, evidence that there lavas were extruded on the seafloor before being incorporated into the Superior Craton.
