Abstract

ABSTRACT Cyclic repetition of limestone and dolomite was studied in a railroad cut near Charlton, Maryland. 35 cycles were recognized, each composed of a basal dolomite member and an upper limestone member. Field and petrographic evidence suggests a primary origin for the dolomites in the section studied. The cyclic repetition of dolomite and limestone, it appears, was due to tectonism.
