In fact there are lots of arid landscape geomorphic features that I understand as a result of active tectonics. Now traveling through central and southern Namibia (last "active" during Gondwana Breakup, according to conventional wisdom) I see features which look pretty similar. Not sure how to understand that just yet...Christie Rowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17131186132737346311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33046156.post-37352306835055032752008-04-01T23:16:00.000+02:002008-04-01T23:16:00.000+02:00This is a bit of tufa serendipity: Sunday morning ...This is a bit of tufa serendipity: Sunday morning I was looking at the tufa towers of Searles Lake, which tend to line up too.

The idea about a fracture or fault acting as a conduit is a very good one. A lot of the tufa mounds and masses at Pyramid Lake (and some at Mono I think) line up on more or less NS lines more or less parallel to the basin axis, and the mounds are thought to have formed (and are forming) where hot springs came into the lake. I'll see if I can dig up some Pyramid Lake photos.<BR/><BR/>You have a lot of interesting info and photos!Silver Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03131032620978696727noreply@blogger.com
