Anticline or unconformity in Thornthwaite Forest

At first sight, this looked like an unconformity. Vertical layers in the shale with a horizontal layer on top. The lowest horizontal layer seemed to be quartz.

But looking from a different angle, it seems that the vertical curves round to become the horizontal. I actually think this is a very tight anticline that has been broken through its peak.
