Geology of the Ridge and Valley Province, northwestern New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania Geology of the Ridge and Valley Province, northwestern New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania

The rocks seen in this segment of the field trip range in age from Middle Ordovician to Middle Devonian and constitute a deep basin-continental-shallow shelf succession. Within this succession, three lithotectonic units, or sequences of rock that were deformed semi-independently of each other, have somewhat different structural characteristics. Both the Alleghenian and Taconic orogenies...

Lateral trends and vertical sequences in estuarine sediments, Willapa Bay, Washington Lateral trends and vertical sequences in estuarine sediments, Willapa Bay, Washington

Willapa Bay is a sizable estuary on the southern coast of Washington- Relatively unmodified in a geologic sense by human activity the bay provides an excellent example of modern depositional facies in an estuarine setting. Studies of these deposits indicate that consistent lateral trends exist in sediment texture and sedimentary structures. The texture changes from sandy at the mouth of...
