Description

Stubblefield Anticline is one of four names that have been applied to a subtle anticlinal nose in Bond County. Blatchley (1914) first described and named the Stubblefield Anticline. Kay (1915) reprinted Blatchley's description practically verbatim, but renamed the feature Pocahontas Anticline. Bell (1941) separated the Stubblefield Anticline into the Old Ripley Anticline on the west and Greenville Dome on the east. Of these names, only Greenville Dome is considered useful and valid, designating a fold with demonstrated closure. The name Stubblefield Anticline should not be used.
