Short final to runway 34 at Fault Line Flyers, a private glider field with a beautiful grass runway. Powered aircraft can land with permission, which is what we did :)
Folded gyprock in the Permian of New Mexico, USA.
This is the famous (& former) State Line outcrop, along Rt. 180/Rt. 62 at the New Mexico-Texas border. The cut contains finely-laminated gyprock (rock gypsum), a finely crystalline-textured, chemical sedimentary rock composed of the mineral gypsum (CaSO4·2H2O - hydrous calcium sulfate). Gyprock is an evaporite, which forms by the evaporation of water (usually seawater) and the precipitation of dissolved minerals. The whitish layers are gypsum. The dark brown layers are calcite. Each gypsum-calcite couplet represents one year's worth of deposition. These layers could be called varves. The calcite-gypsum (or -anhydrite) couplets have been successfully correlated throughout the Delaware Basin. Spectacular crinkling, small-scale folding, and small-scale faulting are present here. The folds and faults formed as a result of early Cenozoic structural deformation, not gypsum-to-anhydrite (or vice-versa) transformations (see Anderson & Kirkland, 1987).
This world-class outcrop was destroyed in the late 2000s by the highway department to convert the two-lane highway into a four-lane divided highway.
Stratigraphy: Castile Formation, upper Upper Permian
Locality: State Line outcrop, roadcut on either side of Rt. 180/Rt. 62, between Carlsbad Caverns National Park and Guadalupe Mountains National Park, immediately north of the Texas border, southern Eddy County, southeastern New Mexico, USA (32° 00' 34.2" North latitude, 104° 29' 55.0" West longitude)

It wasn't me
I had no intent
You cannot accuse me
It was moral luck

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 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 (red), which could be helpful to identify the relative movement in faults. We can´t say whether it is normal fault or reverse fault though, because it is not a part of a profile anymore.

Dislocated sidewalks and cracks in teh asphalt are signs of an underground fault. This was caused by many years of "creeping" - the plates on both side of the fault moving in opposite directions in very small increments.

Creep along the San Andreas Fault. Slow movement near the trace of the fault has ruptured the pavement and displaced the centerline of Cienega Road, requiring occasional repair of the roadway. View is to the west, from the North American plate to the Pacific plate. South of Hollister, San Benito Co., Calif.
The thing that concerns me most is what happens with no one watching. It's like what they say about a tree falling with no one to hear it – of course it makes a sound, but what sound exactly stays a secret. Faith has always felt that way for me. There's too much complexity to stand around and debate it, too much pornographic religion in public. I grew up around a lot of angry doctrine, and that taught me the virtue of keeping quiet. Now I interact with silence, with the crumbling history of forgotten churches, losing their grip on gravity. They are my connection to a spirit, far more holy than it was in my youth.

The Fault
when we realized that we were in the desert
we built a religion to worship thirst
we spoke to each other of a perfect oasis
then said that finding it was not our purpose
we made saints of those who could go on starving
when we bid farewell to the forgotten famine
those who closed their lips and felt no rain
and felt no pleasure through the joy of pain
"it's a door that doesn't open,"
we said of the archway
"it's a gate that doesn't close,"
we said of the vault
"it's a stairway to heaven,"
we said of the dead end
"it's our greatest virtue,"
we said of the fault

Fault-propagation Folding. I was four-wheeling along a nameless BLM rut in the Mojave north of Barstow and came upon this wonderful example of folding at a fault zone. Sometimes geology just smacks you in the face. I have no idea what formation we're seeing here or the age or the name of the fault. Those details will have to wait until later. BLM Black Mountain Wilderness. San Bernardino Co., Calif.
There's a more famous one of these or maybe this is it but we were so far from it that you can barely see the fault running across the alluvium. Of course that means that the fault is younger than the alluvium, and therefore considered "recent" in geologic time.
I tried to take a picture of these two beautiful women (Nick's daughter and new girlfriend), but they insisted that I take a picture of their breasts instead. Honest!
I love the delicacy of the lacework of secondary epidote that cuts the granite in this pebble. When rocks get caught up in faults, if they're shallow enough in the crust, they shatter and crumble along the fault. If hydrothermal fluids are present, and they usually are, depending on a number of factors, any number of minerals can precipitate in the void spaces between the shattered bits of rock. The pulverized rock itself, in these zones, becomes a class of rocks we call "cataclasites", because they've undergone cataclasis. It's a word that, as a structural geologist, brings a unique cerebral and visceral pleasure everytime I say it. Say it with me, folks: "cataclasite". Fun, isn't it?
Photo showing the exposed face of the Pentrecwydau Fault, the fault has an approximate 100m down throw to the West.
The fault has been exposed due to recent quarrying in the area.
Why try being a muse when others amusement devours us forget that we've allowed these people who live to impress you're old love doing flips assure that restored movement seems less like assault for yourself has seen the pain you severed ties between supporters of the second chances while symptoms of a gastappo forms campaigns of this injustice their not there anymore ethereal them lives far from the last words basking this is it so I'm not one of the mean cruelty gained off silences you can't save what you can't see light up your spark listen to them when the phones over flowing with I hate come back pleads because if this is far away why be something that loves to burn

C’è un filo rosso che unisce la legge sull’editoria del 2001 alle parole del presidente dell’Antitrust Pitruzzella quindici anni dopo: l’idea che la Rete rappresenti una minaccia. Dall’istituzione del ROC nel 2007 fino ad oggi, si è assistito a una strisciante retorica da parte dei dirigenti politici, spesso ospiti sulla carta stampata e in trasmissioni televisive, che addita il web come luogo di ”prostituzione e auto distruttività”, “aggravante” per la mancanza di sicurezza dei cittadini; dal famigerato emendamento D’Alia , i j’accuse di Gabriella Carlucci, Giorgia Meloni, Ignazio La Russa, Angelino Alfano, e poi Laura Boldrini, il ministro Andrea Orlando in tempi più recenti, passando da lunghe serie di disegni di legge sulle intercettazioni che hanno scatenato contro-manifestazioni con tanto di bavaglio riverberate nel resto del mondo: l’Italia è un paese laboratorio di discussioni colpevoliste a proposito di Internet già prima dei social network. Poi è arrivata la post-verità, un termine che sembra aver convinto la classe dirigente ad accelerare: bisogna metter mano con un intervento pubblico alla “eccessiva libertà” con la quale la gente comune condivide contenuti, si informa, finisce per credere alle bufale che circolano in questi habitat online e che condizionerebbe il corretto svolgersi democratico. Ma è davvero così? E sono migliori le democrazie a basso rumore di fondo di Internet? Ma soprattutto: fra tutte queste proposte ce n’è qualcuna davvero applicabile? Organizzato in collaborazione con Webnews.it.
There is a fil rouge connecting the 2001 law on publishing and the words of the President of the Antitrust Authority, Pitruzzella, fifteen years later: the idea that the Internet is a threat. Since the establishment of the ROC in 2007, a creeping rhetoric has been pursued by political leaders which targets the web as a place of “prostitution and self-destructiveness,” aggravating the lack of citizens’ security; from the notorious D’Alia Amendment to a long series of draft laws on wiretapping. Then came so-called post-truth, a notion that seems to have convinced the establishment of the need to speed up: with a new law, they want to tackle the “excessive freedom” with which citizens share content and inform themselves, and in consequence end up believing hoaxes circulating online. But this proposed law would affect the proper conduct of democratic processes. Furthermore, are democracies really better off when the Internet noise is left low in the background? And above all, are the proposed measures really the right ones?

Left-lateral strike-slip and normal faults along NM 337 south of Tijeras, NM. A combination of a strike-slip fault on the right and normal faults, probably forming as a result of the strike-slip motion. These faults in the Madera Limestone are Laramide in age in spite of being only a few miles east of the Rio Grande Rift.
