Slickensides found at the Mendocino 40.439N transform, compared with loose rounded rocks from Whidbey Island beaches:
Slick and shiny in the desert Sun at Hiway 9 to Zion NP, these show lateral and Vertical (4x) striations:
Hiway 9 scarp with the above Slickensides on the East side, left; this is on the edge of the CounterClockwise CCW rotatimg (Rising) Colorado Plateau Cp:
Not always slick, below are some broken samples:
Sometimes, slickensides are difficult to distinguish from ice:
Above is Mendocino, CA- where I found the samples loosened by a backhoe.
Below outcrop requires the Hardness (Silicate SiO2) to be tested with a knife:
Slickensides may occur on both sides af a graben-which is an anomaly at the end of a part of the Hurricane fault Hf:
Thrust fault has the gouge on the bottom, and hardened Slickensides on the upper:
PVM, Pine Valley Mountain- a 22 million year monzonite (intrusion) Uplift- now rotates CW (sinking by erosion and under its weight) has Ben's feet on the Scarp:
Patina- a hardened cover over soft outcrops- is formed by micro-organisms, and may be mistaken for slicks: test the smoothness and disparate striations:
Small thrust has both an "S" and begining Patina- but is not a slickensides:
Difficult to identify is a smoothed portion on a jagged PVM monzonite intrusion:
Slick anomaly, inside a canyon Anomaly alongside Hf, has a Lateral movement- which is the main criterion:
Striations are obvious at the CW rotating I-15 Freeway on the south side:
You should now be able to identify these Direction finders, whether Laterally or Veretically moved; below is an Artificially-scratched piece of Concrete:
No matter how old you are, family history is important. While you might not think so at the time, as you get older there will be things you and your grandchildren will want to know. Most of us don't realise it until the older generations are gone and you can't replace first hand comments. Don't just put in about the good times, add in the harder times and how you overcame those trials. Another thing to remember is what caused the deaths of those you loved. There are many things that have been found to continue into future generations that knowing it runs in the family can be helped with now or possible in the future. prevention starts with knowing where to start. I wish someone had taken the time to write these things down for mew to be able to go back to. My Grandmother and my mother told us many stories of what things happened in their lives and about the people in their lives. I now wish someone had written those things down since both have passed now. But I never thought at that busy point in my life that I would one day want to remember all those things. So much family history is lost when the older generations are gone. Please pass it on to your family while you can. You can even just do it digitally so it can be accessed by family later on.Family pictures are something to cherish also. Just be sure to write down who is pictured in them, where they are taken and when. I have found family pictures that no one now even knows who is in them.
