A fold that is convex upward or had such an attitude at some stage of development A geological upfold opening downward
fold, generally convex upward, whose core contains the stratigraphically older rocks
A upward-curving (convex) fold in rock that resembles an arch The central part contains the oldest section of rock syncline-->
