The iconic Tappeats outcrop of the Kaibab monocline is seen about one mile up Carbon Canyon, on the north side of the Colorado at river mile 65. I took this photo in 2018, Fractures are obvious; up and above from the central bush you can see that the fractures mostly trend about 50 degrees from the bedding planes. This is consistent with intrabed shear during fold formation of the solid rock.
