Sourdough Scott Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 I like looking for old things. Like Fossils. I found this old fossil in my area named Klunker. I always ask him for advice. But I think he sends me on wild goose chases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvanwho Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 how do we find the fault lines? I've never seen them on topo maps? -Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klunker Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Tom- You probably have seen fault lines on a topo map but didn't recognize them. Out of place gullies, S bends in a steam course and shifts in contour line are a couple of indications. CALLING CRIS RALPH---CALLING CRIS RALPH--- COME IN CRIS RALPH. Scott- I sincerely apologize. I thought everyone liked wild geese. How do you feel about snipe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Tom, the easiest thing is to get geologic maps or geologic reports for the area in question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Featherdfishead Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Tom - Along with your local geology maps check out Historic Arials. I notice many things from old maps that are excluded on newer maps and the aerials are helpfull were i live because you can get picture from before areas were logged. Once logged Google Earth helps but its tough. The USGS has Geo maps that can be overlaid on topo maps on there website. This is the easiest way to relate faults to the landscape that i've found - gotta love good maps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
