(From the Introduction) The purpose of this investigation is to study, synthesize, and interpret the structure of the Dumplin Valley family of faults and associated folds. The ultimate objective of the investigation is to present a clear, concise hypothesis for the origin of the structure. Finally, the writer has tried to relate the fault to other structures in East Tennessee, and to determine if the interpretation as formulated fits the regional tectonic picture.
