Today: during #hedgewatch in #Switzerland we found this deformed #rock. It underwent #ductil #deformation so that this #fold made of #quartz formed. During deformation material can move from the limbs to the hinge so that the hinge becomes thicker.

#FridayFold An old picture of a limpet enjoying some beautiful folded greenschist-facies pelite in a rock pool near Thundergay, on the west coast of Arran. The pale bands are rich in fine-grained muscovite; the dark bands also have chlorite. The few rusty spots mark the position of pyrite crystals.
