Abstract

In current direction studies, when unfolding strata to their original horizontal attitude, plunge is usually allowed for on the assumption that it was acquired by rotation about horizontal axis at right-angles to the fold axis. Errors resulting from plunge correction on this assumption, if mistaken, are examined
