It was about hith this: are of these folds in about 2 feet <division of movement. Some of the large purple shale quarries, Mr. Jones, we saw a face of more than 100 foot of purple shales, and yet 20 foot is the thickness. We soon saw the cause -folding, closed anticline leading north and sherry of the dip slope = to the west. strike < north dip E.
