Description

The St. David Anticline was defined on the basis of several hundred subsurface control points on the Springfield Coal Member (Pennsylvanian). These data indicate an irregular anticline that has subordinate rises and depressions and trends east-northeast. The greater density of control points reveals more irregularities here than are apparent on most other Peoria Folds.
