| Abstract: | The polydeformed lower to middle Paleozoic metasedimentary rocks of the Connecticut Valley-Gaspe synclinorium have been restudied in Vermont between the north end of the Chester dome and latitude 44??25??? north. The structure containing these rocks in this area is here renamed the Connecticut Valley trought. The Northfield Formation is reinterpreted as a more distal facies of the Gile Mountain above, rather than below, the Waits River Formation. The Meetinghouse Slate Member is reinterpreted as forming the top, rather than the bottom, of the Gile Mountain Formation. These stratigraphic changes require that both boundaries of the trough be faults rather than sedimentary contacts. Palinspastic reconstruction of the trough in this area indicates that the clastic sediments were derived mostly from a generally eastern source area. -from Author |
