A view of one of the main fault features at Lanes in Westfield, MA. The block on the right (light colored) is a fine grained siltstone that hosts dino foot prints. To the left is the basalt sheet that intruded over the sediments and faulted down dip to the east, home to what small amount of the interesting minerals there are.

View looking south. The fault runs up the center of the shot. Trackways are found to the right of the ramp. Datolite pocket from my collections entry, was on the top bench, below the prominent crag center sky line.

Trackways and field trimming.

View of some of the dinosaur track ways in situ. The siltstone is at about 30 degrees to the horizontal. My comrade is for scale.
