Description

The Cedar Creek Dome was one of several structures defined on the basis of reconnaissance geologic mapping by St. Clair and J. Weller. Maximum dips on its limbs were reported to be about 3°. Desborough's (1961a) map of the Pomona Quadrangle, however, shows no indication of a dome where St. Clair mapped it. Desborough's map shows the surface rocks of the lower Pennsylvanian Caseyville Formation dipping gently northward and being cut by several faults of small displacement in the area of St. Clair's Cedar Creek Dome. The use of the name Cedar Creek Dome should be discontinued.
