Professor Bob Bauer's Research
 

Ductile thrust faulting and large-scale fold nappes produced when the Archean Wyoming and Superior provinces collided during the Paleoproterozoic Trans-Hudson orogeny. These outcrops along the Laramie River of southeastern Wyoming contain well exposed complex thrusts resulting in interlayering of granitic gneiss and amphibolite.

Students examining the thrust fault surfaces.

Complex fold interference patterns produced during formation of the fold nappes.
