reparse Explanation: exploitation is the noun qualified by vieille. and à follows on from de. You therefore have Les bancs ont une direction d'environ N60-70°E, ont une inclinaison de 6 à 7°NW dans la plus vieille exploitation à presque plane dans la plus récente exploitation. The beds strike about N60-70°E with a dip of 6 to 7°NW in the old workings to almost horizontal in the latest workings. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2009-11-10 15:16:06 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- IOW, you have an inclinaison presque plane which is not in fact as silly is it looks at first sight. |
