Columbia River Basalt flows near Vantage; note good three-fold columnar jointing
(colonnade-entablature-colonnade) of central flow and more irregular pillow structure of top flow
 

The Twin Sisters in Wallula Gap. The platform of the twin sisters is the lower colonnade
of a flow, and the sisters are made up of the entablature of the same flow
(two-fold columnar jointing: colonnade-entablature)

Touchet beds exposed in Burlingame Canyon south of Lowden, these rhythmic beds were
were deposited in a series of glacial outburst floods across eastern Washington, where the
floods backed up behind the a ridge of the Olympic-Wallowa Lineament
 

A small cobble drop-stone of granitic rock in the Touchet beds north of Touchet; the
rock was delivered to this location by floating in an iceberg in the floods
 

Clastic dikes in the Touchet beds north of Touchet, yes these are really vertical!
