To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is located about twelve miles northwest of the Chisos Mountains. The dome has a length from north- northwest to south-southeast of about five miles and a width of about four miles. The greatest vertical displacement at the center of this dome is at the least 4000 feet. The moun- Anticlinal Theory of Quicksilver 19 tain itself rises above the surrounding country to a height of 2000 feet. It consists of the Edwards limestone which evidently has been lifted up by a laccolitic intrusion. At the ...foot of the mountain we find the Upper Cretaceous dip- ping outward in all directions away from the uplift at high angles. It is evident that the Upper Cretaceous covered the entire uplift at one time, and has been removed by erosion from its central area. The uplift is somewhat un- symmetrical. The slope to the east and northeast is more gentle than that to the west and southwest. In fact, the west side of the mountain is at some points much sheared and faulted. At the south end the limestones are fissured and the fissures are filled with calcite.
