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.

The study-area lies in south-central New Hampshire, and is bordered on the west by the Merrimack River, the principal north-south drainage route of central New Hampshire. The classical two tills of New England outcrop in the area. In a unique exposure of the sandy upper till, a loose ablation unit overlies a compact basal unit. Both upper till facies overlie a sheared section of dense, olive-grayAuthorsByron D. Stone
