Description

A minor east-trending anticlinal nose was mapped from sparse data on the Herrin Coal Member (Pennsylvanian). No evidence of such a structure is shown on a new map (Nelson 1987b ), which was based on many control points not available to Easton (1942). The southeast end of the Waverly Dome extends into the area where Easton designated the Waverly Anticline.
