Friday fold: “Butt of Lewis” (yes, really!)
Posted by Callan Bentley
Today’s Friday fold comes to us from Alistair Knock on Flickr*, via Dave Schumaker’s Geology News Blog, where there is a daily Flickr feed of photos tagged with the word “geology”:
The fold in question, an overturned synform, is at a place called “Butt of Lewis” (the northernmost point on the island of Lewis), in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. Tee hee!
Happy Friday!
