Casa Diablo Geothermal Field - It's not my Fault! Mammoth Lakes above Casa Diablo site showing layered volcanic rocks with many faults/cracks at surface, Mammoth Lakes, CA, Mark Hoppe, 6/15/2015.
This time it wasn't my fault. A colleague leaned on and cracked a framed photo (one of mine) laying about on a table.
It was not a big deal; the Ikea glass frame costs €4.99...

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"
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
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.

The heart breaks in so many different ways that when it heals, it will have fault lines.

Hollister is one of the most seismically active cities in the United States, and in fact the Calaveras Fault runs straight through Downtown. Several homes and streets in this area have been quite visibly distorted by fault creep, forcing periodic restoration. The curb here for example was originally straight.

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.
