Geological
Outcrop Maps of the Taconic Allochthon, adjacent
Ordovician flysch and melange, and the N. Appalachian fold-thrust
belt
(includes parts of eastern New York, western
Vermont, S. Quebec, central Pennsylvania;
- locations
on Google Earth kmz file)
Many of these formed part of the MS thesis or PhD dissertation of
the authors of these maps in the Department of Geological Sciences
at the University at Albany - in some form all of these are now
available below;
some are from senior undergraduate or graduate independent
study projects, or from compilation of information obtained in
the field while supervising the Albany Geological Mapping field camp
(some of these are yet to be rescued and posted here).
Most of these maps are unpublished at full scale and detail, and
many are on diazo/blueline paper, fading, and deteriorating by acid
embrittlement and discolouration. The files linked represent an
attempt to preserve these data (especially the outcrop locations,
and the lithological, stratigraphic, and structural information),
the product of much sweat, hard work, and intellectual effort in the
imperfectly exposed and geologically complex region of the New
York-New England Appalachians.
