Steep beds of sandstone contain fractures here at St Andrews (Fife, Scotland) - these have formed during folding.

Slickenlines are scratches on fault surfaces resulting from shear motion. Commonly found in Scottish outcrops and also in rock core from the North Sea.

Ever wondered why faults often cross each other - this is predicted by Anderson’s model together with 3 types of faults; normal, reverse & strike-slip. Some examples are given here from Morayshire.
