Way up structure
A Way up structure is a characteristic relationship observed in a sedimentary or volcanic rock, or sequence of rocks, that makes it possible to determine whether they are the right way up (i.e in the attitude in which they were originally deposited) or have been overturned by subsequent deformation.
