  1. 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. The nature of this contact (is it conformable? does it show primary or tectonic struc...

  7. The Swift Run Formation is a Neoproterozoic metasedimentary rock unit in Virginia's western Blue Ridge province. It unconformably overlies the Blue Ridge basement complex, and is overlain by the Catoctin Formation.

  8. Dr. Jay Kaufman of the University of Maryland, who provided this sample, interprets these to be microbial sulfate reduction spots on the bedding surface of the Neoproterozoic (Cryogenian) Santa Helena Formation of the Bambui Group in south-central Brazil. The microbial spots show clear cores and cortices, which notabl...

  9. Pano taken during a visit by Marine Geology students from Bangor University's School of Ocean Sciences in November 2012. An exposed spot on a windy day resulted in a few stitching problems. The cliffs show spectular fold structures, anticline and syncline. Rocks are sandy turbidites and schistose mudstones.

  10. Jay Kaufman of the University of Maryland - College Park loaned us this sample to image. It is a piece of the Ghaub Formation of Namibia, carbonate diamictite with iceberg-rafted debris attributed to the Neoproterozoic "Snowball Earth" glaciation. A prominent dropstone is located in the middle of this face. Sampl...
