...EDWARD L. SIMPSON; KENNETH A. ERIKSSON Abstract Few detailed-facies analyses of the rift-to-passive margin transition have been undertaken in exhumed orogenic belts. The Unicoi and lower Hampton Formations in the central and southern Appalachians record the transition from late Proterozoic to Early...
