In addition to this technical difficulty, it was found that the Devonian synclinal, which is the geologic substructure of the region was disturbed by a tectonic anomaly in the form of a narrow band, less than one kilometer in width, which had become deflected in front of the Longlier valley, passing just under the terminal point where the construction of the railroad had stopped. ❋ Unknown (1975)
The four great luminous sheaves forming the corners of the square are made up of rays curving together from each side into "synclinal" or ogival groups, each of which may be compared to the petal of a flower. ❋ Unknown (1874)
The Uinta Basin Floor ecoregion lies in a large synclinal basin that is enclosed by the Uinta Mountains and Tavaputs Plateau. ❋ Unknown (2009)
The principal Formation is orientated in an east-west direction, and comprises both a long anticlinal and synclinal, the latter elevated over some degrees. ❋ Unknown (2008)
Occurring primarily in Utah, the Uinta Basin Floor ecoregion lies in a large synclinal basin enclosed by the Uinta Mountains and Tavaputs Plateau. ❋ Unknown (2008)
Ecoregion 37 is a synclinal and alluvial valley lying between the Ozark Highlands (39) and the Ouachita Mountains (36). ❋ Unknown (2008)
The ridge trended north-west, as most others did in this extensive basin; and this direction being nearly parallel to that of the coast ranges further northward, seemed to afford additional reason for expecting to find anticlinal and synclinal lines, and, consequently, rivers, much in the same direction. ❋ Unknown (2003)
I returned from the hill but little wiser than I went, except that I had observed the strata dipping southward, and that we might, therefore, still look for their synclinal line to the northward; and beyond that, for the heads of other rivers. ❋ Unknown (2003)
The strata at this bridge dipped N.N. E., a circumstance which induced me to travel westward instead of N. W., in hopes to cross thereby sooner, a synclinal line, and so arrive at the sources of some northern river. ❋ Unknown (2003)
Concrete roofing tile is a flat or synclinal covering element with or without grooves. ❋ Unknown (1996)
When a water-bearing stratum is enclosed between two impervious layers in a syncline, the water falling on a pervious stratum runs into the synclinal basin and is stored there under pressure. ❋ Unknown (1985)
For me, this story of railroads and of a diligent grandfather, which I have recalled, has been more meaningful than the effect of a tectonic anomaly on a Devonian synclinal. ❋ Unknown (1975)
"And your experience indicates that this is more likely to happen at the first rise of the synclinal on a grade than anywhere on a straight track." ❋ Melville Davisson Post (N/A)
The lower group of conglomerates and sandstones are well displayed on Hadyard Hill and on the tract near Maybole; the middle volcanic series on the shore south of the Heads of Ayr and from the Stinchar valley along the Old Red belt towards Dalmellington and New Cumnock; while the upper group, comprising conglomerates and sandstones, form a well-marked synclinal ford at Corsancone north-east of New Cumnock. ❋ Various (N/A)
The more scientific generally select a spot either on the anticlinal or synclinal axis of the formation, giving preference to the former position. ❋ Barkham Burroughs (N/A)
Its nub was a porphyry cap, the rest of it was composed of layers of porphyry and valueless rock dipping downward, nested like saucers in the synclinal layers. ❋ Unknown (1906)
If further movements tending to accentuate such a structure were to occur (that is, if the anticlinals were to be made more anticlinal and the synclines more synclinal), there would therefore be two slips, one in each focus; while, along the fault-surface between, there would be practically no displacement. ❋ Charles Davison (1899)
And in a flat synclinal bed along the crest of the low ridge running slightly north of east from Vengeance creek to Valleytown. ❋ North Carolina. Board Of Agriculture. (1896)
In the former the quantity of ore is naturally greater, as the members of the synclinal fold dip at steep angles, and in all probability the ore extends to considerable depth; its thickness is from 1 to 40 feet. ❋ North Carolina. Board Of Agriculture. (1896)
Extending in a sharp synclinal bed underlying the quartzite, in a direction N. 40° E, from the Hiwassee river to Mason creek. ❋ North Carolina. Board Of Agriculture. (1896)
