We benefited from discussions with Richard Bambach, Fred Read, and Erik Kvale. We
appreciate the suggestions for clarification of the text and figures that were provided by
Peter Schwans and an anonymous manuscript reviewer. ABSTRACT
Virginia
constitute a westward-thinning wedge of strata that filled the central
Appalachian basin over approximately 7 m.y. Up to 17 transgressive-regressive sequences
comprise the study interval in the basin depocenter. High-frequency, fourth-order (~400
k.y.) sequences vary with regard to the degree of basal incision, the overall thickness,
and the character of the dominant facies. Five sequence types are recognized in the
outcrop belt: (1) major incised valley fill to coastal plain, (2) major incised valley
fill to deltaic, (3) minor incised valley fill, (4) coastal plain, and (5)
marine-dominated sequences. Sequence development is ascribed to glacioeustasy during the
early stages of the Permian-Carboniferous Gondwanan glaciation.
