Reverse or thrust faulting produced by horizontal movement along table top. 36 STRUCTURAL GEOLOGY out in detail the extremely complicated fault systems in rocksassociated with certain ore deposits. Consequently there havebeen several attempts to develop a more adequate nomenclatureto describe the great variety of conditions met with in the of these attempts are very elaborate. There is yet no generalagreement on any of these Therefore none of theseclassifications will be given here. It may be questioned whetherspecial nomenclature of faults is necessary. There has beendeveloped in mechanics a technical nomenclature to describe dis-placements of all solid substances, which may as well be used forfaults as a long series of names, difficult to remember, coined forthe special use of the geologist. Quoting from Chamberlin 2:The complaint that our predecessors have trammelled us withpremature and ill-chosen classes and names has for its logicalresponse a forb
