Friday fold: Machir Bay I

Today’s Friday fold is one of those lovely gems that weather out in three dimensions. I spent a few quality moments with it this summer on the north side of Machir Bay, Islay, Scotland.

The fold overprints foliation or bedding in lightly metamorphosed metasedimentary rock of the Colonsay Group (Neoproterozoic).

Happy Friday!
