The map is based on existing data within the Pennsylvania basins and on a combination of published microstructures and apparent mineral ages in the surrounding rocks. The distribution of metamorphism is, however, apparently related to major tectonic boundaries that were active during the late Paleozoic and suggests that it may be the result of terrane accretion during the late Paleozoic.
