Abstract
A detailed re-survey of the country between Farnham and Dorking has been carried out to provide improved knowledge of the major monoclinal structure known as the Hog's Back fold. This fold has now been shown to be continuous across the survey area from west to east. Detailed mapping, involving some lithostratigraphical revision of the Lower Greensand group, has led to the detection of hitherto unrecognised structural features. In particular, survey has highlighted the importance of strike faults, some of which are intimately associated with the Hog's Back fold, and has shown that the Gault is structurally attenuated where its crop is influenced by this fold. The style of deformation of the Gault has probably significantly affected the overall symmetry of the fold. It is inferred that the shallow structures associated with the Hog's Back fold are directly related to a major fault in the Palaeozoic basement.
