Toward the west and southwest the Upper Devonian delta faced the sea. The study of its strata, guided by criteria for distinguishing the modes of origin of the several formations, has led in the first part to certain conclusions. But facing the east the marginal outcrop is near the region of maximum thickness. The beveled edges of the strata, measured in thousands of feet, bear witness to a former extension toward the ancient land of Appalachia. The nature of the surface and the relations of the delta to the sea are but one half of the problem. The former extent and nature of the strata now destroyed and the relations of the delta to the old-land constitute the other half. Although Appalachia and its marginal waste plains no longer exist, we may attack these questions by inferences from the nature of the remaining strata, from the structure of the rocks beyond, and by the evidences as to the amounts of erosion whic...
