This thread has been quiet for a while. The image below is a very famous exposure. Pictures of it are used in many elementary geology text books. I'm sure Geodude has seen it. I posted a slightly different image of it maybe two years back, Hopefully few if any remember. In one of the more euphemistic terms used by geologists, these strata have been "disturbed."

Classic example of kink folds. Not sure where that is, though the terrane appears to be somewhere in the Amargosa Range around the Death Valley area...

If not, the below photo is. This is a basaltic dike that cuts vertically through lacustrine sediments deposited during the last ice age when Death Valley was a lake. Taken near Zabriskie Point.

Found it. We made it as far south as the Hollow Hills Wilderness area before bearing east to Searchlight, NV, and through a magnificent spread of Joshua tree forest.

Joshua tree stands are so intriguing. I drove down a wonderful road going east from Kelso that passed through extensive stands, and also had some interesting remains of human enterprise gone bust.

Thanks, If you go an early start can help, I got to Cedar Falls before daylight which was my best time to shoot because the light was even. It was supposed to be a cloudy day but there was a lot of sun, which made some shots difficult to impossible. Try to avoid weekends too because of the amount of people. Beautiful area.

Walking along Lake Grapevine, TX. I believe those are sandstone boulders (?)
