Geologic mapping of a portion of the northeastern Front Range, Colorado, has established the relationship between multiple structural events. Planar and linear mesoscopic structural elements indicate three generations of folding (F 1 F 2 , F 3 ) in which three axial-plane foliations (S 1 S 2 , S 3 ) were formed. However, on a macroscopic scale, the superposition of F 3 on F 2 is unusual in that it does not appear to disturb the areal orientation of F 2 folds. An explanation for the apparent lack of refolding is derived from a foliation-trend analysis which indicates that the displacement direction of F 3 folding lies parallel with the F 2 axial plane. Therefore, when viewed parallel to the S 2 axial plane, S 2 is folded into a series of sinusoidal folds, but when examined in map view, little folding is apparent. This structural sequence is substantiated in the southwestern portion of the mapped area where a well-developed dome-and-basin pattern emerges. The foliation-trend analysis serves to illuminate a structural geometry that, in turn, resolves an unusual apparent lack of refolding that is characteristic of a large portion of the northeastern Front Range.
