Sopwith Model X: Denuded basset (outcrop) of inclined strata
This model shows one potential surface pattern of inclined, denuded strata. Thomas Sopwith (1803 - 1879) was an eminent geologist and civil engineer who pioneered methods of representing geological features. This set of wooden models were designed to represent geological situations with faults, folds, inclines and strata that were particularly relevant to the mining industry.
