Ok, I'll take a shot at this. I don't think the lower rocks are folded, I think those are algal mats!

to my eye they look very much like the rocks shown on this site
Fold in Late Devonian distal turbidites at Boscastle
where they are described as "Evidence for both pre- and post-granite Hercynian tectonism in Cornwall"

Pawnee Buttes, northern Colorado. James Michener renamed them Rattlesnake Buttes in his novel Centennial, and had one of his settlers die there from a snake bite. You can just see part of a very large wind farm on the left skyline.
