This impressive road cut in the Bighorn Mountains, Wyoming, exposes a well-defined high-angle reverse fault, a structure formed by intense compressional forces. In this type of fault, one rock block is thrust upward relative to the other along a steeply dipping fault plane, typically greater than 45°. These faults are key indicators of crustal shortening and mountain-building processes.
