Stratigraphy and Rock Layer Formation - Geological Cross-Section Diagram #103860 (License: Personal Use)

This vintage-style line drawing shows a vertical cross-section of Earth’s crust, revealing multiple sedimentary layers with varying textures-horizontal bedding, cross-bedding, and conglomeratic zones-interrupted by a major normal fault. The right side displays uplifted strata with angular unconformities and weathering profiles, while the left shows more intact, gently dipping beds. Erosion has carved a prominent escarpment, exposing the internal structure of the formation.

Used in geology textbooks, educational websites, and museum exhibits to explain principles of stratigraphy, superposition, and tectonic deformation; targets students, educators, and amateur geologists seeking visual reinforcement of core earth science concepts.
