Photos taken in 2017 during a geologic field mapping course. Location is only approximate. They don't look like normal faults from this angle (the clipboard is horizontal), as they have been tilted since they formed.

Beautiful z-folds in metamorphosed limestone.

Geologic outcrop shows a contact between a conglomerate and sandstone, with an old channel scoured into the sandstone at the base of the overlying conglomerate. Subsequently, the rocks were faulted and tilted. Location is approximate. The model is scaled and oriented to north and gravity.

Faulted sandstone layers caught up in a plunging anticline in Gower Gulch, Death Valley National Park. Location is approximate. The model is scaled and oriented to north and gravity.
