Folds
in the Vassalboro Formation outcrop seen in pictures 1 and 2. There are
several different textures represented in the individual layers, reflecting
the variability in the original sedimentary deposit. The layers in the
center of the picture are relatively sandy; those to the left of center
are finer-grained, more slatey.
Folds occur at many different scales -- some very fine,
some at a medium scale, like this one; and some large or very large: this
outcrop is itself one limb of a larger fold, the axial plane (center)
of which is off to the left.
