摘要: The “sedimentary cover” refers to the stratified rocks of youngest Proterozoic and Phanerozoic age that rest upon largely crystalline basement continental interior. early chapters volume present data interpretations geophysics craton summarize, with sequential maps, tectonic evolution craton. main body text accompanying plates figures stratigraphy, structural history, economic geology specific sedimentary basins (e.g., Appalachian basin) regions Rocky Mountains). concludes a summary chapter in which currently popular theories cratonal tectonics are discussed unresolved questions identified.
