UNCONFORMITY:  Precambrian rocks have Cambrian-Ordovician rocks against them in some places, and Silurian rocks against them in other places.  This implies a major geologic event between Ordovician and Silurian time.


Implied Structural Relationships
Folded rock contacts (highlighted in white) have roughly parallel shapes. This implies that they were folded together at the same time, in a major regional geologic event after Silurian time.
