Accretionary Wedge #32 - favourite Geological photo

[reynardo]

Accretionary Wedge #32 is specifically asking for “Throw me your ‘favorite geologic picture’ mister”

So many pictures, so hard to choose...

This one is from New Zealand. The Nile River Caves (as featured in WOGE #263) are on the north-west side of South Island, New Zealand, and as well as the expected beautiful limestone features, have some wonderful glow-worms and some rather interesting strata.

This one in particular is a mixture of mudstone and limestone. By the time this layer emerges at the coast at Punukaki, it's more clearly layered and makes the Pancake Rocks.

Yes, I have amazing glacier and volcano shots. But this one is the one that says "Geology" to me the loudest.

Thank you Reynard for joining the geologic parade of favorite pictures. It definitely has a lot of 'geology' to it and is interesting to examine. The parade is up and rolling at
