The early stages of formation of a landslide toe were expressed along a driveway from Hillside Avenue just west of Delhi Pike. A slope underlain by colluvium was cut to provide access for construction of new apartments. Shortly after the cut was made, cracks formed in the colluvial slope about 25 m uphill from the edge of the road. A small bulge formed along the edge of the road, involving as much as 2 m of the paved surface. A photograph taken in 1982 (fig. 11) shows a bulged patch on the blacktop surface and a bulge along the edge of the driveway. In the foreground along this bulge on the edge of the driveway, several nearvertical shear surfaces are exposed. Tabular limestone fragments within the colluvium are preferentially oriented with their minimum dimension normal to the shear surfaces. At other places, limestone fragments in colluvium do not show a strong preferential orientation. Here, the fragments have been reoriented by pervasive shearing such that the crosssectional area exposed to shear is a minimum.
