One of the more "interesting" areas of the FHSU Geology Summer Field Camp Red Wash mapping project in Dinosaur National Monument. Something unusual is going on with the geology in this image. Beyond that I cannot be more specific. ;-) For more information about our field camp see: http://hays.outcrop.org/GSCI454/
My original attempt to stitch this GigaPan ended up with a "twisted" stitch. Following advice on the forum that this might be the result of too much overlap in the original images I trimmed them and ended up with a much better result. I also used the Photoshop RAW format export option so that I could go in and crop out some of the jagged edges (something I haven't done previously with images too large to open as a TIFF file in Photoshop). This upload also marks the first time I've uploaded from a format other than TIFF. I'm pretty pleased with the results so far, though the real satisfaction will only be realized once I've lined it all up properly in Google Earth as a 360 degree embed... |

The east side of this roadcut through marble in the Adirondack Lowlands exposes beautiful examples of ductile deformation. |

Garnets weathering out of a boulder of gneiss (Tolland County, CT).
Tried to get nice morning light on the vein containing the reddish garnets - was hard with the trees, though... the leaves were almost as bad as the clouds! |

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. |

Yes, I know the stitching chopped up some hikers - the Gigapan software doesn't allow manual corrections. Sometime I plan to get PTGui which does. And I only have an older version of Photoshop - it doesn't support images of this size. Should have included a little more sky. |

I'm not certain of the name of this particular escarpment, but i may be able to figure it out after I've geocoded it. |

One of two pans of Horseshoe Bend, a lovely incised meander near Page, Arizona (just east of Glen Canyon Dam).
Erosion by the Colorado River cut down through the layers of sedimentary rock and created the deep gorge (approx. 1000 feet deep here). [We also took another pan from the same point (http://gigapan.org/gigapans/33155/) with a different camera.] |
