1945M. Kay in Bull. Amer. Assoc. Petroleum Geologists XXIX. 427 (heading) Paleogeomorphic maps. 1960Prof. Papers U.S. Geol. Survey No. 400-B. 186/1 Because of the subtle nature of the topography of this disconformable surface a regional paleogeomorphic pattern has not been generally recognized or described. 1966Bull. Amer. Assoc. Petroleum Geologists L. 2279/1 Kay (1945, p. 427), discussing ‘paleogeomorphic maps’, did not really do justice to Thornbury's later definition of paleogeomorphology, because he omitted all mention of the use of subsurface data in constructing such maps; his main concern was the separation of seas from lands. 1972Ibid. LVI. 538/2 Paleogeomorphic traps are formed where ancient subaqueous or land surfaces and the relief features on them..are buried by younger strata of a different lithology. |
