Don, >> My problem is with the Applachians as a product of the Alleghenian orogeny. It's clear that the mountains are post Pennsylvanian and pre-Cretaceous. << Is it? Sure, it's clear they have to be younger than the Pennsylvanian sediments that are incorporated into the folds and faults. But do they have to be 'pre-Cretaceous'? JSW
