Using your stereonet, determine the orientation of the fold axis of the fold using a beta diagram and a pi diagram. Though these are measurements from only one fold, assuming a cylindrical fold, the same fold axis should describe all folds of the same set. For determining a fold axis from several smaller folds, beta diagrams and pi-diagrams may also be used. 3b: Consistent cross beds were also noticed in the vertical bed suggesting a paleoflow direction during sedimentation of the Tuscarora, presumably as sediments were shed westward in the Lower Silurian following the Taconic Orogeny. The cross beds are currently oriented at an average value of Plot the vertical limb orientation (_ .) and the cross bedded orientation on the same stereonet along with their poles to planes. The western side of the plane is the top. Restore this limb to horizontal and determine the original orientation of the cross beds and paleoflow for deposition of the Tuscarora. As a reminder of the process, consult your answer from sheet 4 from the last stereonet lab. Record your answer on the stereonet as the orientation of the restored cross bed. Your estimated paleoflow direction will be the dip direction! •Orientation of Westernling 215/90 Cross-beds average orietation 200/575E "Eastern limb 01 0081236 44
