THE IMAGE GALLERY

PLEASE  SEE THE SLIDE DEMO BELOW AND DO READ FULLY THE INSTRUCTIONS TO LOAD IMAGES.

The links to images will be found on appropriate pages in this 50 MB domain. The images as they appear are experimentally produced kink-bands, faultbend folds, Chevron fold, normal faults in sandbox, single layer natural folds from Chindamora batholith, Strain in experimentally produced gentle single layer buckles, experimentally produced diapir in plan, sheath fold and a dyke thinning considerably in a ductile shear zone with very high shear strain and presumably volume loss.

To pause or stop background music, use the play bar at the bottom of images that sequentially appear above.

Please click the image to the right at any time to return to the menu which you left on another page. To reload this page after seeing several or more images, press the flashing button to the left. In case of DILEMMA, or for suggestions, click left bottom image to load the feedback. If you want to contribute images for display in this gallery, click rotating earth animated graphic and on the page loaded,  follow the instructions to upload. After uploading, click the email graphic and send the list of images to me. However,  the images will be chosen only after 8 images and worth display are selected. The information of the contributor will go in the related topical module where this image will be included. 

There are 687 graphics in this web out of which about 600 are related to the theory of structural geology. The images sampled are randomly chosen as all seem to be good. You may copy these by using right mouse button. Click the thumbnail of image desired in the upper frame to load the original image within this frame. I am afraid, the images will not have any detailed captions but these will be added when this page is revised from time to time. Before you click any image, please read the following carefully. To give you a general idea, the images in the top row from left to right are of :
