Complex reverse fault...

along US 191 south of Moab, Utah (click to enlarge.) Note the small scale folds in the more ductile mudstone/shale beds in the fault zone. This structure is a parallel offshoot of the larger Moab fault located approximately 200 m to the east.

Great reference to the interesting geology of the Moab area: Moab salt-intruded anticline, east-central Utah (~1 Mb, .pdf file.)

  1. The panorama turned out great! By documenting all the geology in Moab, you can make your trip tax-deductible, right?
