Earthquake Dinosaurs's Snapshots

  1. Vertical wall

    Vertical wall by Earthquake Dinosaurs from the GigaPan Fishbed Aug 2012 by Earthquake Dinosaurs

    This current vertical wall has sediment bedding and fish-scale orientation to suggest the wall was a horizontal bedding surface. This bedding surface is nearly perpendicular to the planar fishbed exposed lower in the cliff.

  6. Grey/Green Sandstone

    Grey/Green Sandstone by Earthquake Dinosaurs from the GigaPan Fishbed July 21 Trial 2 by Earthquake Dinosaurs

    This layer is actually grey/green, so colour correction may be of interest.

  7. Grey Mudstone

    Grey Mudstone by Earthquake Dinosaurs from the GigaPan Fishbed July 21 Trial 2 by Earthquake Dinosaurs

    Grey mudstone, channel-like shape, under green massive sandstone layer.

  8. Basalt Top

    Basalt Top by Earthquake Dinosaurs from the GigaPan Fishbed July 21 Trial 2 by Earthquake Dinosaurs

    This is the top of the North Mountain Basalt... and appears to be a true bedding plane for the grey mudtone and sandstone layers above.

  14. Base of Channel?

    Base of Channel? by Earthquake Dinosaurs from the GigaPan Fault - Eastern Pinacle Island by Earthquake Dinosaurs

    The top of the grey layer is obviously planar, but the bottom surface looks like it might be a chanel cut. Looks like fine grain mud-rich sandstone below.

  15. Torn strata

    Torn strata by Earthquake Dinosaurs from the GigaPan Fault - Eastern Pinacle Island by Earthquake Dinosaurs

    A lens shaped section of strata shifted slightly down on right relative to bedding on far left. On far right shows sections of bedding within interfault zone.
