Structural Analysis — Sheet 06
The syncline worksheet assembles numerous bedding attitudes and a conceptual classification diagram. The larger table improves regional coverage, but the analysis must prevent clustered stations from dominating the solution and should identify measurements projected from outside the section corridor.

Geological interpretation and evidential boundary
The syncline worksheet assembles numerous bedding attitudes and a conceptual classification diagram. The larger table improves regional coverage, but the analysis must prevent clustered stations from dominating the solution and should identify measurements projected from outside the section corridor. A fold-axis estimate should be accompanied by a best-fit uncertainty and tested after excluding structurally disturbed readings. The idealised geometry in the lower panel explains nomenclature only; the local fold class must come from the measured interlimb angle, plunge and symmetry. Consistency with the final map and cross-section is the decisive test, because a statistically neat stereonet can still represent a spatially incoherent mixture of domains.
