Figure 4B. Offset layers. In addition to the more obvious main fault (pink), there are abundant associated minor faults that affect the rock on one side or the other. A few of these are traced in purple. This shows that a large portion of the rock is affected to some degree by what appears to be a simple fault. Remove lines.
