Looking north along the Germany Valley, which lies in the core of a breached plunging anticline. The topography is defined by the erosion-resistant ridge of Tuscarora Sandstone.

Just got back from three days of geology conferencing at the Northeastern & Southeastern Joint Section Meeting of the Geological Society of America in Baltimore. No time to blog whilst there, though I shot a dozen or so tweets up to my Twitter feed: small beer compared to a nice meaty blog post. Apologies if it was insufficient for your needs. Great to meet up with everyone there… I’m off tonight for a two-day field trip in the Appalachians, and I’ll get back to blogging this weekend when I return.
