In most cases, at least, the lowest member of the upper series will
be a different type of rock from the uppermost member of the lower
series, hence the frequent occurrence of the discordant cross bedding
in sandstone should not deceive even the novice into the assumption of
an unconformity.

CHAPTER VI
THE ARCHITECTURE OF THE FRACTURED SUPERSTRUCTURE
[Illustration:
FIG. 36.—A set of master joints developed in shale upon the shores of
Cayuga Lake near Ithaca, New York (after U. S. G. S.).]
[Illustration:
FIG. 37.—Diagram to show how sets of master joints differing in
direction by half a right angle may abruptly replace each other.]
[Illustration:
FIG. 38.—Diagram to show the different combinations of the series
composing two double sets of master joints, and in _a_, _a_, _a_
additional disorderly fractures.]
