The Geology Of The Vermont Valley And The Western Flank Of The Green Mountains Between Dorset Mountain And Wallingford, Vermont, Rolf Herrmann
The Geology Of The Vermont Valley And The Western Flank Of The Green Mountains Between Dorset Mountain And Wallingford, Vermont, Rolf Herrmann
Geology Theses and Dissertations
The carbonate sequence of the Vermont Valley has been generally believed to lie on the east limb of a major unfaulted syncline ("Middlebury Synclinorium"), and the exposed Precambrian basement and overlying cover rocks of the Green Mountain massif on the west limb of the adjacent major unfaulted anticline ("Green Mountain Anticlinorium"). Except for the Basal Thrust of the Taconic Allochthon, all faults shown on previous maps die out north of Dorset Mountain.
In contrast, detailed mapping for this thesis in the Vermont Valley and the western flank of the Green Mountain massif has revealed several major north/south trending thrust faults, …

Structural Studies In The Moretown And Cram Hill Units Near Ludlow, Vermont, William J. Gregg
Geology Theses and Dissertations
The geology of the eastern limb of the Green Mountain Anticlinorium consists of a series of Paleozoic metasedimentary rocks with lithologic boundaries arranged in a remarkably straight trend approximately parallel to the axis of the Green Mountains. Published reports of the area, consisting largely of reconnaissance mapping, have treated this complex series of polyphase deformed rocks as an essentially upright autocthonous sedimentary sequence. Boundaries between rock units have, for the most part, been assumed to be primary in origin, as have various structural elements within the rock units. More recent work in selected areas within the Ludlow Quadrangle has revealed …
