Page 29 OBSERVATIONS TO DATE wFaults in Glen Rose typically less steep that faults in Edwards Group wImportant stratal (limestone and shale) control on fault propagation in more shale-rich section wMore common occurrence of shale layers in Glen Rose present barriers to vertical flow along faults, and enhances lateral flow along faults wFaults in Glen Rose typically less steep that faults in Edwards Group wImportant stratal (limestone and shale) control on fault propagation in more shale-rich section wMore common occurrence of shale layers in Glen Rose present barriers to vertical flow along faults, and enhances lateral flow along faults
