Your structural geology assignment...


for today: make a tracing of this image and count the number of faults exposed in this road cut that exposes the mostly carbonate Honaker Trail Formation (Pennsylvanian.)

This is a slightly oblique view into the Moab fault zone, looking south, from the Visitor's Center at Arches National Park. The faults strike NW-SE, mostly parallel to US 191, as seen in this mini-pan of the area.
