Péter Luffi > WoGE #137 Jeff's WoGE #136 was a snapshot of the Eastern Dharwar Craton in India. Being the first to identify it, I have the privilege to post the next WoGE. This one may be overly easy for those who know what geological features they see, or a mess for those without a clue. So, let's see who'll be the first to locate this view and say something geologically relevant about it. No posting time provided means no rules to worry about ;-)
Péter Luffi > WoGE #176 Ron's WoGE#175 was a piece of the Early Proterozoic New Quebec Orogen. Easy to find, but hard to document, mainly because of the conflicting old and new accounts and the convoluted nomenclature of geologic units. Now here's the next puzzle, surely worth being highlighted in the WoGE contest. It shouldn't be hard to locate and once you've nailed it down (give lat/long), the geological description should be piece of cake. Let's see who'll be quick enough to earn the honor of hosting the next challenge.

Péter Luffi > WoGE #134 It was pretty fun to track down EffJot's WoGE #133 in the Alps - there are so many nice places there, that I had to remind myself every 10 minutes, why I'm actually flying around in that region. Now WoGE is back to me; this time I invite you to take a break from mountaineering and have a look on this green thing. What is it, where is it? This one is a free run, if you know what I mean (if not, doesn't matter); it should be easy, so hurry to say couples of words with geological meaning, provide a lat/long pair, and you may host the next challenge.
Péter Luffi > WoGE #151 Silver Fox's WoGE #150 featured the famous Whipple Mountains metamorphic core complex in SE California. Following my... well, call it gut feeling, turned out to be a successful strategy this time: looking for detachment, in the very geological sense, proved to be really helpful - I found the spot in less than 30 minutes :-) From that point on, counting my Schott-handicap hours was pretty annoying but, lucky of me, nobody appeared to really rush for this win (Ron is still way ahead of me, he piled up so many wins that, as long as the Schott rule applies, he doesn't really count here). OK, it's my turn again (love it!). This time I've decided to come up with something quite peculiar. If you know what you see, it won't be too hard locating it. If not, well, you'll have some research to do, but keep up, it's worth trying! To win, one must locate AND explain the geological highlight(s) in this picture before anybody else (don't give away the location if you're not sure what you see; you'll just help someone else to win). No damn handicapping rules apply for this run. Have fun!
Péter Luffi > WoGE #124 I found Ron's WoGE #123 in South Africa, so I'm pleased to serve the WoGE community with the next challenge, again from the geo-art category. If the scale bar would be in centimeters, one quickly could answer: it's a nice piece of malachite. But the scale is in kilometers, so I wonder who will be the first to identify this handsome feature, and provide some useful geological description. This is another Schott's rule-free run, folks, so you better stay tuned.
Péter Luffi > WoGE #115 I solved Ron's WoGE #114 , so #115 is back to me. Hope there are newbies vulnerable to the WoGE virus out there, so here is what you have to do in the case you got infested: locate the feature (lat/long) and shortly describe it in geological terms. I guess it doesn't make sense to invoke Schott's rule anymore, or at least until desperate complaints/criticism will be expressed in this regard.
Péter Luffi > WoGE #113 Ron's WoGE #112, the meander-amidst-the-barley was quite scary, because it looked it can hide wherever in the middle of the vast North American agricultural nowhere, so I said, if I find it in 20 minutes, nice, if not, tough luck, I'll skip this one. Apparently I was lucky, because I actually started the random scan in... Canada, and ended pretty soon by finding it in my backyard, to quote Ron. And it was nice to take advantage of a Schott 's rule-free run, I think we should perpetuate this feeling for a while. So here's the next one. It is pretty easy and won't last long, so hurry! Feel the breeze of freedom, guys, again, no Schott's rule for today.
Péter Luffi > WoGE #102 JMA's WoGE #101 is the Maliau Basin of Malaysia. It surely wasn't a 101 type WoGE though :) Now here's the new challenge. West is up. To win you have to locate and say something about the geology of what you see. Schott Rulez . Posting time is 3:20 GMT.
