ichetz:#InstaLike :: Sunday Geology-in-the-Movies Quiz. In this scene from “The Revenant,” Leonardo DiCaprio’s character looks back at an avalanche that is coming down a mountain with a gentle fold (synform). This scene was shot at Fortress Mountain in the Canadian Rockies. The sedimentary rocks were deformed and raised during the Laramide Orogeny, a subduction-related mountain-building event in the Late Cretaceous and early Paleogene (~80-40 million years ago). But the question for today is, what did DiCaprio’s character use to start a fire? (Image from 20th Century Fox) http://bit.ly/25uxBq5 -- source link
