Gneiss / pegmatite ledges form pools along the Natchaug River in northeastern Connecticut. We didn't hike the entire way back to the swimming hole known as Diana's Pool (this is along the hike) - the outcrop here was too photogenic (and we had other sites to visit!)

From close below the Tetons, this panorama offers a detailed look at the geology of the range front. The Teton Glacier is best seen from this angle and there are a couple of mafic dikes that cut the Archean igneous and metamorphic rocks that make up the bulk of the Teton Range. Oh yeah, a few tourists and cyclists in...

I had originally hoped to get into the Barton Garnet Mine to shoot a macroGigaPan of the famous Gore Mountain garnets, but unfortunately I was a little too early in the season. The garnets at the locality featured here are from a now-abandoned garnet mine in the area that is currently located on state lands. The garn...

This GigaPan illustrates an exposure of the basal Cambrian Potsdam Sandstone nonconformably overlying Precambrian gneisses at the eastern edge of the Adirondack Mts uplift. My field assistants took time out from exploring this remarkable contact to pose for the GigaPan. Berti is standing directly on the unconformity ...

This macroGigaPan was shot in the field at the very accessible roadcut of Hague Gneiss seen in this wider view: Geologically this is a textbook example of a kinzigite - a type of metasedimentary gneiss rich in biotite and garnet. There are also some very large augen cored by feldspar near the lower right portion of ...

This is a very large roadcut opposite a convenient pullout west of Hague, NY. The rocks exposed here is a metasedimentary gneiss of sillimanite+K-feldspar grade known as kinzigite. A MacroGigaPan illustrating smaller scale features such as feldspar-cored augen can be seen here: share.gigapan.org/viewGigapan....

The cliff face consists of granitic gneisses cut by basaltic dikes. It is elevated above the surrounding area by a fault near the edge of the Adirondack Mountains.
