Description

Bell mapped an anticlinal nose on the basis of borehole data and mine surveys in the Herrin Coal Member. He called the nose the Glenridge Anticline and recommended it for oil prospecting. Later studies, such as those of Brownfield (1954), show that the "'anticline" is at most a minor irregularity on the east flank of the Centralia Anticline and use of the name should be discontinued.
