Attention Geologists! Looped Striations in San Pedro, CA?steemCreated with Sketch.

in photography •  7 years ago 

Does anyone know what this rock pattern is called? We don't think of rocks as bendable, but here it is and the only geology I know is from grade school. I have a theory about it influenced by Devils Postpile up in Mammoth, CA. Imagine lava, or molten magma is pushed up from the surface while still molten hot. If pushed high enough it could get top heavy and fall over onto itself forming a loop. But in that case the rock would be igneous rock. What's interesting about my pictures is the rock appears to be a flaky kind of sedimentary rock. How does that bend? It should just crumble, no? One of the informative signs in the park (White Point / Royal Palms in San Pedro, CA) refers to it as altamira shale for what it's worth. How many people pass by this without even noticing? The only reason I noticed it is because some buddies and I traveled through Death Valley in a Jeep 4x4 back in college. One buddy was a geologist and stopped the car to take a picture of just such a formation. That was years ago. If I hadn't taken that pic for my buddy I would probably not have noticed this feature in San Pedro myself!!

Hi, no need to reply here if you don't feel like it - but would you think it's completely OK if someone copied your photos you have posted on Steemit and earned a buck on them.

Would you feel like you wanted to flag them for that?

I see you took a stance in a discussion, which I was going in only half-assed, by flags and upvotes. It seems that you might think it's 100% ok to use someone elses photos, images etc. without permission to earn money.

I assume you wouldn't flag anyone doing that, then. Would you?

The retard I was discussing with was going to new levels on stupid, claiming I would support government controlled monopoly on ideas and art. I hadn't stated anything similar, but the retard kept on with stupidly writing about stuff I hadn't commented about at all.

But as short: if you think it's ok to use someone elses creations for money without permission, I assume it would be OK for anyone to use photos you have posted on Steemit?

I consider myself closer to a capitalist than anything else and I think even though the state shouldn't have the control over this, but as individuals to fight against plagiarism.
