Numerous thrust faults and related folds intersect at Turret Rock, located in the central crater. This structure indicates the complex compressional regime that existed during the formation of Upheaval Dome.

Upheaval Dome, San Juan County, Utah, is a complexly deformed circular structure approximately 5 km in diameter, occurring within the Triassic Moenkopi, Chinle, Wingate, and Kayenta and the Jurassic Navajo Formations. The structure shows three distinct zones of deformation. The brittlely deformed central crater exhibits an intensely compressional r...
