And here it is. Sands that were laid down in the Pliocene as the sea retreated from the Murray Valley. Sadly I could not find any fossils here. #pliocene #fossils #fieldgeology Oh well, many miles to go I must press on.
Field pic and matching sketch of a large normal fault cutting the Del Carmen formation, within Boquillos Canyon in Big Bend National Park, west Texas. There is so much good geology in BBNP. These faults are associated with the Rio Grande Rift and control much of the topography of the park and the surrounding region.

For #WaterfallWednesday here are some cascades at 'The Pots' in Rutherford County, North Carolina. Potholes are rounded holes that form in bedrock from water currents tumbling sediments in a positive feedback system. The pothole catches sediments, deepens, then catches and tumbles more sediments.

Panorama looking east towards Little Tom Mackay Lake in upper British Columbia, Canada. This is from summer of 2022 and is one of the coolest places I have hiked. There is complex fold-thrust belt structures, glacial melt lakes, and beautiful fields of lush heather. Johns Peak is the mountain poking above the horizon.

A very excited field geologist (me!) standing on a talus pile of ravelled sandstone below a west-dipping back thrust fault within the Rockcastle Conglomerate Fm, Roane County, Tennessee, off SR001(US70). This is at the transition between the Valley and Ridge and the Cumberland Plateau, near the structural front, or the point of western most deformation of the Alleghanian orogeny, the major collisional event that smashed and crashed and formed Pangea

Misty morning in subalpine terrain of upper British Columbia, Canada, near the transition between glaciated high country and lower elevation old growth forest. The second shot is looking the other direction up the valley towards Bruce Glacier. What a sweet spot to hike!! #geology #FieldGeology #mapping #BC
