This guidebook features field trips at the joint meeting of GSA's Northeastern and Southeastern Sections in Baltimore, Maryland, in March 2010. Chapters in this guide range from the lowlands of eastern Pennsylvania to the highlands of northeastern West Virginia. Four physiographic provinces are covered: Piedmont (Piedmont Upland and Gettysburg-Newark Lowland Sections), Blue Ridge, Valley and Ridge, and Appalachian Plateau. The geologic foci are likewise variable, ranging from Precambrian basement rocks to Pleistocene sediments
