[this paper is WAY over my head in terms of the nuance of structural geology, but still fascinating; further, I have to say: these are TRULY gorgeous, well-designed & presented, and useful geologic maps, cross-sections, annotated photographs and other visualisations (I am jealous of that level of skill, in the BEST of ways!)]
