Excerpt from The Structure of the Triassic Formation of the Connecticut Valley A number of faults, closely related to those just described, must be inferred between the trap ridges north of the Hanging Hills. The gaps on the range here run obliquely about thirty degrees east of its general northward trend, and the supposition that these gaps mark fissures with upthrow on the east would account for the systematic overlapping attitude, or, as Percival called it, the advancing order of the successive members of the range, Short Mountain, High Rock, Farmington and Talcott Mountains and others. The gaps do not break through the main trap sheet alone but interrupt the anterior amygdaloidal ridge and its overlying limestone in a most systematic manner. The probable cause of the oblique intersection of the range by the faults and the reason for the advancing order of overlaps in its several members will be presented later.
