On my second visit to Lake Cowal back in early December, I was told about a place that was of great interest to geologists visiting the nearby gold mine. This trip I headed out to have a look.
Following is the information I was given to explain what I was going to see.
"The outcrop is part of the Booberoi Fault and features sheared Late Silurian-Early Devonian Edols Conglomerate (Sherwin, 1996) showing stretched quartzite and vein-quartz pebbles in a quartz white mica-chlorite matrix, which was probably a muddy sandstone. Mesoscopic kinematic indicators show at least two movement episodes: a horizontal sinstral movement and a near vertical reverse (west side up) movement. The movement direction can be discerned from the asymmetry of the matrix surrounding the pebbles and the mineral elongation within the matrix."

San Andreas fault as seen from Keys View (elevation 5,185') in Joshua Tree National Park with Mount San Jacinto (elevation 10,800') in the distance.
This sign on one property was pointing to a collapsed barn on the adjacent property in Brown County, Ohio. See the previous photo in my photostream.
America is to the right and right in front isn't quite yet Europe. It expands an average 1 cm a year.
