A guest contribution for the Friday fold, from reader Christian Gronau:
Christian reports that this is located on the
North side of Hwy.11, 20 miles east of Saskatchewan River Crossing, Alberta. Eastern foothills of the Canadian Rocky Mountains.
Faulting and folding in Early Cretaceous Luscar Group sediments. Typical repeating sequence of sandstone, siltstone and coal.
Thanks for pitching in, Christian! Happy Friday to all!

I finally made it out to Jenner Beach, California last weekend. The rocks are really blue!
I also went to Turtle Rock on Ring Mountain. Worth it.
I guess I cannot send you pictures.
Thanks again for the information.
