Figure 8. Typical folding in The Forks Formation. Thick calcareous sandstone beds sweep gently upward from lower left to middle right of the image. A strong cleavage has developed in the siltier layer at the bottom of the sequence, and cuts across bedding at a high angle from lower left to upper right. Fine sedimentary layering is visible near the base of the second layer up from the bottom of this sequence.
