Geological subjects: faulting and kinking in layered rocks

Faults with minor displacement outline a kink band (a left-dipping, steep diagonal zone through the middle of the photo) in well-stratified Kettle River Formation sandstone (Eocene, south-central British Columbia). Location: a Highway 3 roadside outcrop near the town of Midway, close to the border with the USA.
