Well, this is what happens when an other wise gorgeous agate has the unfortunate luck of being directly in the path of a fault. This guy is showing about .5" of offset in the banding, and you can tell event that caused the fault was probably catastrophic due to the little agate fragments suspended in center of the agate (my favorite feature). I know this isn't the most ideal collection piece, but the geologist in me thinks this is too cool. Agate measures about 3"x2"
This sign appeared after the first BNSF derailment which took out the diamond (replaced by the two switches). Can't fault the track on the IAIS within these limits... Colona, IL.

Photoshoot with the band Cascadia Fault Line, 13th of April, while they were recording some songs in the Nordic Church, Liverpool, England.
Slickensides are structures found only at fault planes. What we call a slickenside is a smooth, polished surface that formed by friction between two sides of a fault. This makes them look more like a human-made surfaces, yet, these are absolutely natural.
Slickensides are often coated by a mineral (typically calcite) fibres - these may grow during the fault movement and help us identify the direction of movement. These fiber-like structures we call slickenfibres.
Moreover, sometimes slickenfibres have stepped appearance (like in the photo). These steps are very helpful, since we can identify not just the direction of movement (e.g. horizontal/vertical), but also the relative sense of movement of the two sides in fault (normal fault / reverse fault).
The picture above shows a slickenside with stepped slickenfibres, which could be helpful to identify the relative movement in faults.

Red Rock Canyon Natural Conservation Area (BLM) - Keystone Thrust Trail - The Keystone thrust near Las Vegas, Nevada, is a spectacular example of a thrust fault, a reverse fault with shallow dip. The dark-gray Cambrian limestone of the Bonanza King Formation is moved sideways and above the pink Aztec Sandstone, of Jurassic age. The thrust fault was most active about 70 million years ago, during the long Sevier orogeny (mountain-building episode). Compressive forces caused by tectonic plate interactions to the west pushed the upper crust eastward. Movement on this thrust fault, which is part of the extensive Sevier fold-thrust belt, appears to have been nearly 100 kilometers.
A recent fault scarp along the Teton Fault offsets talus and alluvium at the base of Rockchuck Peak. This photo was taken from the Catherdral Group Turnout near Jenny Lake in Grand Teton National Park , Wyoming
The heart breaks in so many different ways that when it heals, it will have fault lines.

On the east side of FR540, this fault cuts the carbonates. In the fault zone, the rocks have been sheared and crushed.

I was looking at the closed LNER rail line at Nab Lane, Howden Clough, West Yorks, I discovered an image problem near the household waste/recycling site. There's a black square which looks like a hole, I checked it on Multimap, where everything was found to be in perfect order.

Falla geológica que corre cerca de 1.000 kilómetros en dirección norte-sur en la zona sur de Chile, en la región norte de los Andes Patagónicos.
Esta falla inicia su recorrido en la zona del Volcán Llaima. En esta última zona se produce la triple unión de las placas tectónicas Sudamericana, Antártica y de Nazca.
