... is incongruous among different structures in Colorado and Wyoming. At Big Thompson anticline and Rattlesnake Mountain anticline, Precambrian basement was not rotated in the anticlinal hinge during Tertiary folding. At both Banner Mountain and at a minor fold on Casper Mountain the basement has been rotated near...

The south-plunging structure of Milner Mountain continues 4 miles south in the narrow, tightly folded Big Thompson anticline. The fold is faulted down on the west ( Cutter, 1949 ; Culligan, 1948 ) and plunges steeply...
