Description
This structure has been labeled the "Maunie Fault," but was mapped as a narrow zone of subparallel, overlapping and bifurcating, high-angle normal faults. The fractures trend north-northeast, and the major displacements are down to the west as much as 175 feet (53 m). Near its southern end, the Maunie Fault Zone splinters upward through the Pennsylvanian strata. The Maunie Fault should be renamed the Maunie Fault Zone.
