Stop the presses!
This late-breaking Friday fold has just been submitted here at Friday Fold Headquarters. This is from Philip Prince/Virginia Division of Geology and Mineral Resources:
It’s a recumbent fold of Harpers Formation metasandstone in the James River Face area.
Pretty lovely exposure. This outcrop would make a good 3D model.
Happy Friday to all. Hope it’s a good one!
