The next one up (probably tomorrow) has been really tough that way! So thanks for giving it a shot. I hope you do get to the coast for some rock-viewing -- looks like you have some spectacular exposures nearby!<br /><br />Thanks for the heads up on the captcha, I didn't know. I've found that some sites have reasonable ones, and others are quite vexing, as you describe. I will look into it.Hollishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10788942181934895493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5192250381057989170.post-52237350193256250322014-07-23T01:46:04.111-06:002014-07-23T01:46:04.111-06:00P.S.

So I haven't read this as properly as I would have liked to. (I'm coming from ignorance so proper attention needed - no skimming!) But - the car diagrams are a great way to get one engaged. The second in particular makes clear the folds. Finding vertical tracks is incredible - and someone seems to have run a fork back and forth across the rock before it set.<br /><br />There are lots of folds and ripples and reorganisations in the land around where I live so older rock has landed on top of newer in a very disconcerting and confusing way. Fortunately, our cliffs provide physical cross-sections which make this easier to make sense of. One of the most dramatic (I think) shift in rock is at Lulworth Cove but I can't find a decent photo on the internet. This gives an idea though<br /><br />http://www.geolsoc.org.uk/ks3/gsl/education/resources/rockcycle/page3801.html<br /><br />I think I have an excuse for a day-trip some time. (Though recent cliff falls all along this coast are meaning we sometimes have to go a long way round to walk short distances safely - which is not always fun in hot weather.)Lucy Corrander Now in Halifax!https://www.blogger.com/profile/14685242329129914772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5192250381057989170.post-51387417523408592722014-07-22T17:18:03.796-06:002014-07-22T17:18:03.796-06:00and thanks to you for reading!and thanks to you for reading!Hollishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10788942181934895493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5192250381057989170.post-11086965423571853182014-07-21T09:13:12.936-06:002014-07-21T09:13:12.936-06:00Thanks for the informative and beautiful post...go...Thanks for the informative and beautiful post...gosh, I'm starting to plan a trip to Wyoming!MBensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08073670710209348011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5192250381057989170.post-3107290459105431002014-07-18T14:44:57.168-06:002014-07-18T14:44:57.168-06:00Thank you -- for reading and for the encouraging c...Thank you -- for reading and for the encouraging comment.Hollishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10788942181934895493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5192250381057989170.post-86289197704776530742014-07-18T07:59:52.546-06:002014-07-18T07:59:52.546-06:00Nice.
