Book Description
Detailed stratigraphic study of an area (540 square miles) in the Inner Coastal Plain (landward half) of southeastern Virginia showed that older interpretations of stratigraphic relationships and geologic history based on the terraceformation concept are in error. Study of more than 600 exposures and borings showed that the stratigraphic units are not simple glacialeustatic marine terrace formations which overlie Miocene sediments and areally restricted to one terrace; rather they are composed of both marine and non-marine formations which can be further subdivided into mappable facies underlying several terraces. The term terrace is not used in this study because of its genetic connotation. Purely descriptive terms such as flat, plain and scarp are used to describe morphologic features. (Author).
