@GeoFieldBot @FaithfullJohn ok ok i gotta learn to start doing that i guess. but in the end what will i learn? i live on a chaos of folded mud. and every source i read talks about in completely different ways! #taconic orogeny

#geology i need to find a new blogsite to post up these outcrops. and i need to learn more about how they form.

something to do with #taconic #flysch. that is, sediments settling out deep on the continental slope between the eastern shore of the #ordovician north american continent and the taconic island arc to the east slowly crashing into it.

now i'm confused whether these sediments are coming from the continent or the island arc or both.

some clues here

There was very little snow on Mohawk Mountain in the southern Berkshires today. The scenic vistas to the north and west include the #Catskill, #Taconic and #Berkshire mountain ranges. Zoom in!
