Byron Stone is a Research Geologist at the Florence Bascom Geoscience Center.
Byron Stone is a Research Geologist in the Florence Bascom Geoscience Center, Reston, VA. Since joining the USGS as an NAGT field assistant in 1969, and as a fulltime geologist in 1974, he has devoted his career to studying Quaternary glacial geology and late Cenozoic clastic basins, and he specializes in glacial sedimentology and three-dimensional stratigraphic analyses. He has contributed to geologic mapping projects in eight states, Morocco, and Cyprus. Presently, his research focuses on the multiple glacial stratigraphic framework of the southern Great Lakes region and the southern glacial terminus region of northeastern U.S.

Slumped glacial delta sands and silts exhibit flexural slip folds and low-angle thrust faults where the beds remained coherent during slump deformation. Alternating cross-cutting relationships between f (sub l ) and f (sub r ) fold axial planes indicate that these fold groups are conjugate sets, related to the same slump movement.
