The absence of younger Lower Cambrian regressive clastics known throughout most of the Appalachian region strongly suggests the existence of a previously unsuspected major unconformity within the Leithsville and equivalent carbonates of the thin Lower Cambrian sequences from eastern Pennsylvania to northern Massachusetts.
