Petrology and structure of gneiss anticlines near Baltimore, Maryland. Field trip guidebook / Петрология и структура гнейсовой антиклинали возле Балтимора, Мэрилэнд. Путеводитель полевой экскурсии

This field trip will focus on the petrology and structure of basementcored anticlines in the central Appalachian Piedmont, near Baltimore, Maryland (Figure 1). These structures have long been interpreted as mantled gneiss domes in the sense of Eskola (1949). However, recent work suggests that they are recumbent nappes, arched by later folding about steeply dipping axial planes. <...>
