"Elm Chaos of Havana Elm" 54 It appears that the disturbance by which this part of Havana Elm is owned to many, is a fault right up axis something quite clear. In the north and the Elm Chaos is an about 20 feet long by approximately 1/2 in depth, extending for about 38' (Length) and meets N and S (N 29 W) Cliff forming the corner in N West part. The glen 50' East of the even on the E and W wall (which by the way is covered from within 12' to top within a further foot mat), and is covered to the is a still higher foot wide covered all the way up. On each side of this slip, the strata is more or less tilted while on each side drops 50'. The rock on either side of the conglomerate is so uniformly while that there is no bend that may be traced with any degree of certainty. In this Elm Chaos, the line of fault I was I only able whenever station in place coming in contact with the horizontal strata of the red wall but the tilted strata was from 45' to or 70 at extreme northern part of C. and to about 1 m southern part. On East side farthest from the strata are turned up on edge at an angle of 45' while in it, a little farther (30) with a dip of 29 east Direction highest tilted strata N. 20 W. 55
