Three new images of plumose structure

Took all these images of joint surfaces this summer in Glacier National Park on my Rockies trip. Enjoy!

Appekunny Formation, with two concentric ribs:

Grinnell Formation, showing well-developed hackle fringe (rough area at bottom):

In the lovely fine-grained limestones of the Helena Formation:

Check out the size of the plumose structure I GigaPanned at Mount Rainier National Park this summer: http://www.gigapan.org/gigapans/31973/.

Edi and Berti (each about 10cm tall) are in the GigaPan near the bottom for scale.
