RECENT MINOR FAULTING OF INTERBEDDED CLAY AND SAND OF TALBOT FORMATION ON MORGAN CREEK, KENT COUNTY.

The text of the Folio states:

The geologic structure of the Coastal Plain part of the Tolchester quadrangle is simple, the beds having suffered little deformation since their deposition. Folds of the strata are almost if not entirely lacking, and faults have been observed at only one place in the quadrangle. In the right bank of Morgan Creek, about 2 miles northeast of Chestertown, a great many small faults, both normal and reversed, have been observed in some thinly laminated beds of sand and clay belonging to the Talbot formation. (See PL VIII.) They are probably only local.
