Interesting detail of a rock fragment embedded in an apparently different stratum near the top of the SE edge of Whale Mountain, right at the interface of two layers.

@65dBnoise is the whole thing "Whale Mountain"? I thought it only referred to the closest outcrop.

@65dBnoise That looks like it is a cobble reworked from that distinctive boulder conglomerate immediately below it. The crazy angle is evidence of rapid deposition and burial. You can also see that it affected deposition for a while after it was moved and buried, creating a bump that persisted like a standing wave, resulting in a succession of vertically-climbing wavy cross stratification. #SedimentologySunday
