Displacement of Salt by the Laurentide Ice Sheet
Abstract In central New York, deformation of salt of the Salina Formation by the Laurentide Ice Sheet is shown by a thinning of the salt stratum in and near the outcrop zone where it was overridden by the ice sheet and by a thickening down-dip near the glacial limit. Less definitive suggestions of d...
