The European counterpart of the Catskill Delta is the: | c. Old Red Sandstone | |
Uplift in the southwestern part of the craton during the Late Absaroka resulted in which mountainous region? | c. Ancestral Rockies | |
Weathering of which highlands produced the Catskill Delta clastic wedge? | b. Acadian | |
Cyclothems are characteristic of which Paleozoic Period? | d. Pennsylvanian | |
