Outer Faults be better observed than near Malham. The faults themselves are 
revealed by the magnificent fault scarps, which contribute in so marked a manner 
to the striking scenery of the district. Perhaps still more striking to the geologist 
is the marked lithological differences in the Carboniferous Limestone Series as 
traced from the easily recognised Great Scar Limestone and Yoredales of
