A new fold structure in the Woolomin beds suggesting a sinistral movement on the peel fault
A previously unrecognized fold structure some 10 by 25 km, consisting of a steeply southward-plunging syncline and anticline, has been mapped in the Woolomin Beds north of Woodsreef, New South Wales. This is an F 2 structure which may be interpreted as a drag fold formed as a result of sinistral mot...

| Summary: | A previously unrecognized fold structure some 10 by 25 km, consisting of a steeply southward-plunging syncline and anticline, has been mapped in the Woolomin Beds north of Woodsreef, New South Wales. This is an F

structure which may be interpreted as a drag fold formed as a result of sinistral motion along the Peel Fault about the time of the Carboniferous-Permian boundary. Prior to this, earlier isoclinal folding with a bedding-plane cleavage is thought to have been associated with the overthrusting of the Woolomin Beds over the sediments of the Tamworth Trough to the west. |
