Detailed mapping of an area near Middlebury, Vermont, reveals a multiple deformational scheme quite different from that previously proposed. The published stratigraphy of the middle Ordovician limestones, on which earlier structural theories are based; was found to be inaccurate, so a new system has been defined. An unreported early generation of cleavage has been discovered which indicates the existence of a decollement zone in the upper Bascom formation. The second generation of cleavage and its associated folding were well defined by earlier workers, but this study shows that it is also a thin-skinned event.
The last deformation, as exhibited by …
