| Description |
English: Dividing fault between Appalachian Mountains and Allegheny Plateau. A major geologic fault (directly behind small trees) can be seen in a new roadcut about 10 miles north of en:Williamsport, Pennsylvania on new Route 15. The fault is just about at the line that divides the folded en:Appalachian Mountains and the merely uplifted en:dissected plateau of the en:Allegheny Plateau. On the left hand (south side) is metamorphic rock. On the right hand is en:sedimentary rock, which, as one continues northward becomes mostly horizontal.

I'm not so sure those are metamorphic rocks on the left hand side of the photo. Been to the area and I thought they were sedimentary rocks. We are looking at a synclinal fold occuring in a laminar sedimentary sequence. This is not a fault at all. So where is the repetition of strata across the synclinal fold closure if you are correct? The right-hand side appears to have the right kinematic indication (dragging or bedding against the 'fault') to indicate thrusting??..maybe you should go back and have anyother look? |
