In the background, Middle Cambrian limsteone is superposed upon Upper Cretaceous shale and sandstone at the thrust fault. The trace of McConnell fault here marks the boundary between the Front Ranges, to the left, and the Foothills, to the right. The gentle east dip of this part of the fundamentally west-dipping thrust plane shows that the fault is folded.
