QE78.3.A67 1989 557.5-dc19 89-600079 FOREWORD The abstracts in this circular were presented during a daylong symposium on the geology of the central part of the Appalachian basin held on November 9,1988, in Reston, Va. Participants of the symposium included U.S. Geological Survey geologists from the Office of Energy and Marine Geology and the Office of Regional Geology as well as scientists from local State surveys and universities. The symposium was held during the final stages of a 5-year multidiscipline basin analysis effort and is part of the USGS Evolution of Sedimentary Basins Program. This program focuses the research of a wide variety of disciplines into a combined stratigraphic, structural, and basin evolution synthesis. USGS Bulletin 1839 is a multichaptered series containing the full descriptions of the research presented at the symposium. The first four chap­ ters of this bulletin have been published, and the remaining are in review or final prep­ aration. Approximately 60 geologists attended the symposium. Stratigraphic syntheses included description of rocks ranging from lowermost Cambrian through the Pennsyl­ vanian. Three talks presented differing interpretations of Carboniferous rocks from the same area. Other stratigraphic studies included work on Silurian stratigraphy and the Taconic unconformity, descriptions and interpretations of the syn-orogenic Ordovician Fincastle Conglomerate, and changes in Silurian facies in the Appalachian Valley and Ridge province. Fluid migration and basin thermal history were addressed in two pre­ sentations. The importance of considering fluid migration in thermal modeling was stressed. Basin tectonics and structure were the topics of several talks and posters. Included were discussions on the genesis of the Pennsylvanian salient, lateral ramps in the central and southern Appalachians, dome and basin features associated with thrust­ ing in the southern Appalachians, and gravity slides in the Valley and Ridge province. Completing the program were a presentation of research on Eocene igneous rocks in the central Appalachian Valley and Ridge province and a review of the economic geol­ ogy of the Big Chimney quadrangle, Kanawha County, West Virginia.
