Description :
Within the context of the new age control, the purposes of this paper are to: 1) identify, map and correlate fluvial terraces along the lower Susquehanna River; 2) assign ages to the terraces by downstream correlation to the fluvial stratigraphic seequence at the river mouth; 3) develop a model for terrace genesis on a U.S. Atlantic-type passive margin; and 4) suggest the nature, magnitude, and rates of passive margin deformation.
