Title: Role of Silurian Salt in Discordance Between Deep and Shallow Structure in Ohio: ABSTRACT

Interpretations of deep (pre-Cayugan) structure from either shallow structure or seismic information should include an evaluation of the different roles played by the Silurian Cayugan salt beds underlying the central Appalachian basin. Four distinct types of salt involvement are identified in Ohio: thin-skinned thrusting along salt beds (southern Ohio), salt-flowage
