Lower middle ordovician of south-central Pennsylvania
Lawrence C. Craig
1949, GSA Bulletin (60) 707-779
Broad paleostructural development in south-central Pennsylvania and Maryland was similar to that of central and eastern New York during the deposition of lower Middle Ordovician beds. Thick marine limestones of the easternmost belts of outcrop in the Cumberland Valley indicate the southward extension of the Champlain miogeosyncline. Thin and, in...
Cleavage in east‐central Vermont
Walter S. White
1949, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (30) 587-594
Two types of cleavage, schistosity (flow cleavage) and slip cleavage, are common in the metamorphosed sediments of east‐central Vermont. Two generations of cleavage are also recognized. Cleavage of the earlier stage of deformation is schistosity, and is generally parallel to bedding. Just west of the Monroe Fault, along the eastern...
