Outcrop Data and Imagery

The primary source of outcrop data are 2-dimensional images taken across three different scales. The largest scale images, and the place to begin, are the Outcrop Map (North Side and South Side). The Outcrop Maps have rectangular hotspots that are linked to the corresponding Solocator Image (labeled A through P). The georeferenced Solocator Images have numbered hotspots which link to the closeup imagery (1 cm to 2 m in scale) as well as short video clips.

Additionally, the entire outcrop can be viewed as a zoomable Gigapan image or as a zoomable and rotatable 3D model (derived from video captured by UAV) which would provide large scale features (bedding and weathering profile) and provide for a means to measure stratigraphic thickness.

Note about symbols used and scale

All images have some sort of scale. In outcrop and Solocator images, the Jacob staffs are 1.5 m in length with 10 cm divisions. 

Close-up imagery usually has a grain-size comparator scale in view with mm scale and and/or graphic scale for grain size and roundness.

Most images are taken perpendicular to bedding. Images taken parallel to bedding are indicated by a bulls-eye graphic
