Friday fold: soft sed def in Kodiak
Posted by Callan Bentley
Today’s Friday fold comes to us from Kristin O’Connell of SERC:
That’s soft sediment deformation (not post-lithification tectonic deformation) on Kodiak Island, Alaska.
Sweet!
Happy Friday, all.
Ghost Rocks!!!
I love some good penecontemporaneous folds! GNEISS PIC!
How do you know the folding occurred while it was soft sediment?
I don’t know, but that’s what was claimed by the photographer.
