Figure 4
(A and B) Example of a photograph that is projected on the digital outcrop model on the northern flank of the Valsorda valley. A large dolomite body is located in the upper right corner of the photograph and model. Dolomite and limestone can be distinguished based on differences in rock color. (C and D) Two examples, at different scales, of clear dolomite versus limestone division are enlarged. Dolomite has an orange or brown patina, whereas limestone is mostly gray to white colored. The very high resolution of the photographs allows lithology distinction at meter scale (C).
