Studies in Minor Folds 



By CHARLES E. DECKER 



The author's purpose is to illustrate by diagrams 

 and photographs a series of types of minor folds; 

 to illustrate and study briefly a few minor folds in 

 their relation to major ones; to illustrate a larger 

 number of small folds in the midst of horizontal 

 or gently dipping strata, showing their character- 

 istics, methods of origin, age, and relation to 

 faults; and finally, to connect these minor 

 deformations, in so far as possible, with larger 

 movements, and show their significance, as 

 indicating the presence of compressional stresses 

 in the rocks in the interim between the great 

 periods of deformation and mountain-building. 



The data on which these studies are based have 

 been secured from a narrow area south of Lake 

 Erie, extending from Cleveland across north- 

 eastern Ohio, northwestern Pennsylvania, and 

 into New York as far as Dunkirk. A few folds 

 on Lake Ontario were studied, both in northern 

 New York and southern Canada. A few folds 

 were studied in the folded areas of the Arbuckle 

 and the Wichita Mountains of Oklahoma.

THE ORIGIN OF THE EARTH 



By THOMAS C. CHAMBERLIN 



Professor Emeritus in the Department of Geology 

 The University of Chicago 



One of " The University of Chicago Science Series" 



FROM THE PREFACE 



"In telling the story of this search for the mode by which the earth came 

 into being, we have let the incidents that led the inquiry on from one stage to 

 another fall in with the steps of the inquiry itself. It is in keeping with the 

 purposes of this series of booklets that the motives which set researches going 



should have their place with the quests that arose from them The final 



story of the birth of the earth will come only after a time, when the vestiges of 

 creation have been more keenly discerned and more faithfully rendered than is 

 possible now."
