320 LAND SCULPTURE 



An inlier is produced by the truncation of an anticline or a 

 dome, exposing an area of a lower stratum surrounded by strata 

 which are geologically above it. If the isolated mass be brought 

 to the surface by faulting, it is called a faulted outlier or inlier, 

 according as it is surrounded by older or younger beds. A faulted 

 outlier is on the downthrow side of the dislocation and a faulted 

 inlier on the upthrow side.
