4. Large tor showing exfoliation and jointing.

5. Tor cluster on steep slope that has collapsed.

6. Boulders (Tors) along the river, vertical jointing at the right.

9. Sea level fluctuations resulted in greater erosion and down cutting, removed saprolite along steep slopes exposing widespread single and multiple corestones. Tors on the divides are embedded in saprolite, upper tors collapsed onto the lower ones in the larger fields.Cascades, rapids and falls formed at several locations where tor fields and large near surface bedrock exposures were exhumed. The Great Falls Of The Catawba dropped about 35 meters, the river about 54 meters in a distance of 13 kilometers..

26. Round granite boulder that rolled from steep slope into the river.

27. Very large tor perched on cliff.

28. Tor, Possibly Rolled Onto Rock Pavement. Large pavement outcrop.

29. Two large round tors that may have rolled from steep slope into the main channel note base altered by water flow.

30. Rock smoothed by river flow, note water level change . Anvil rock - a pedestal rock undercut by flowing waters.

32. Large pedestal undercut by water flow.

33. Excellent pedestal rock in main river channel Nitrolee riverbed.

34. Details of layered meta granite texture on a water polished surface.

35. Metagranite (light) and metadiorite?

36. Weathered sheared metagranite, off Brooklyn Road.

37. Granular texture in an altered metagranite .

38. Mafic dikes have been intruded into the granite, they contain minerals that are more water soluble, therefore, are weathered more relative to the metagranite.

39. A dike intruded into metagranite. Location is a roadcut above the river near Dearborn dam. Rocks here are weathered to saprolite i.e. minerals are chemically altered in place.

40. Vertical Mafic Dikes Injected Into the Metagranite.

41. Mafic dike offset by faulting.

42. Contact of mafic dike and granite.

43. Knife edge contact. Mafic dike Metagranite Brunton compass for scale.
