Pebbles on Cemlyn Bay beach.

Evidence of seizmic activity in angled layers makes for a lovely photo.

strike slip, reverse, thrust...everyone should know their faults

Marble Falls overlook

Straddling the fault. If an earthquake happened at that moment, it would hurt.

Faulted sandstone and conglomerate of the Eocene-Oligocene Sespe Formation along the Serrano Ridge Trail in the Laguna Coast Wilderness Park, Irvine/Laguna Beach area (Laguna Canyon, San Joaquin Hills), Orange County, California,

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."

A view over Loch Fad on Bute to Arran.

I had not noticed the slide off to the left before, but it looks like it has been there for at least a year or two. Caused by moisture load on clay soil - or fault movement???

I had to do extensive cropping, so, view large

Solidified mini normal-faults in a limestone layer.
