Friday folds: Fox’s and Foch’s
Posted by Callan Bentley
A final Friday fold (for now) from Howard Allen:
This is :
A view south across Kananaskis Lakes, Peter Lougheed Provincial Park, Alberta, through mist/low-hanging clouds. Snow highlights the Sarrail Creek Syncline and Warspite Anticline on the north faces of mounts Fox (left/east) and Foch (right/west). Rocks are Lower Carboniferous carbonates of the Banff, Livingstone and Mount Head formations.
Happy Friday all – and thanks for sharing all these great folds, Howard!
