The core of the Virgin Anticline
The heavily eroded anticline is in the lower half of the picture running at an about 30 degree angle from left to right. The Quail Creek Reservoir is located in the center of the anticline, with two ridges of upper triassic Shinarump formation casting a dark shadow and extending to the lower right. The cross section of the anticline extends all the way to the left border (Navajo formation) and past the Sand Hollow reservoir at right (also Navajo formation). The light gray band above Sand Hollow reservoir is the Hurricane fault scarp that stretches across the entire picture and continues in the the Kanarra anticline (bent layers) near the left border. This scarp is in the lower Permian
