Based on their genesis, folds can be divided into two superfamily categories: tectonic and nontectonic. The outline below presents the superfamilies, families, and subfamilies and their definitions for anticlinal fold traps. As with fold classes, the fold families listed below are not inclusive but merely represent the more common fold families.
