Taking off from St George Utah
View east, with the Virgin Anticline at the lower half of the picture, represented b y the ridges of the then upper triassic Shinarump member of the Chinle formation at the bottom and the red cliffs of the Navajo sandstone (lower Jurassic) above. The gray band in the center is the Hurricane fault scarp that extends northwards for over 80 miles (lower Permian) the light colored ridge immediately above is again the Shinarump sandstone ( same sequence as at the bottom of this picture), and the light red ridge in the back is the Navajo sandstone, both not affected by the Hurricane fault (a normal fault), wheres as the layers in the foreground dropped down (after being folded into the anticline).
