Description
Photo 12: View towards the east of a roadcut of Bucksport Formation (Sb) illustrating multiple fracture surfaces along gentle east dipping compositional layers (dipping into the hillside), and two prominent near vertical fractures (joints) at this particular location. These planes of breakage in what are otherwise relatively impermeable crystalline rocks are important avenues of groundwater flow in the subsurface. Route 129 east of Wiley Point, South Bristol.
