It seems like the "tick" mark represents only the horizontal plane, but then there's also the "arrow" that goes with them. I understand the arrow on the plan view represents the direction of view, but what does the arrow on the cross-section side represent?
What started this whole argument was asking which side of the cross section should the rock be on, left-side or right-side? So between example B and D, which one is correct?
