Synform

a structure formed by the downward bending of rock strata onto earlier and steeper folds of smaller size. Synforms are usually accompanied by antiforms, which are oppositely shaped. For example, the sheets of overthrust nappes often form, together with rocks, the foundation of a synform and an antiform. While the cores of synclines contain only younger rocks, those of synforms may contain both older and younger rocks.
