Figure A12. View to southeast across the slide. Motion was from left to right. In this photograph, several curved ridges representing individual slide blocks extend from lower foreground across the slide to the far side. Each ridge is a single block of the same material along its length, either soil or turf, but neighboring ridges may be made of different materials. The retrogressive failure did vary the orientation of blocks and trees, but it did not result in the mixing of different layers. The whole area pictured used to be the flat area on top of the bluff that is missing from Figure A7. The former slope at the front of the bluff has moved onto the mudflat, to the right of this picture.
