Description

It is doubtful whether Mylius (1927) intended to name this structure. The indicated dome is an irregular area of closure less than 1 square mile mapped on the "Siggins" pay sand (Pennsylvanian) in the Vevay Park Oil Field. Clegg's (1959) maps of the same area indicate no closure on the Herrin or Danville Coal Members, which are much more reliable mapping horizons than the "Siggins" sand. The Vevay Park Oil Field is situated at the crest of the west-facing Charleston Monocline, which is part of the La Salle Anticlinorium.
