Commemorating Inge Lehmann’s birthday
Before I had even read the text, I thought "That looks like the slip near Lyell in New Zealand". Unmistakeable once you have seen it yourself!

Have you ever gone Rockhounding on a landslide and found minerals?
I've definitely found minerals on scree slopes that are more like rockfalls than landslides, I guess, but they are debris flows under gravity. Never on a mass of quake-driven soil and rock etc.
