Abstract
The Taconic klippe, composed of Cambrian and Lower and Middle Ordovician eugeosynclinal rocks, rests upon miogeosynclinal rocks of the same age; it is a product of gravity sliding from the east, from a rising geanticline, now the site of a gravity high. Fluids were expelled during metamorphism, from eugeosynclinal rocks on the east side of the geanticline and migrated westward and served as the pore-pressure mechanism for the sliding which occurred when the relief became sufficient to encourage the sliding. Sliding possibly took place in a similar way at other places in the Appalachian-Caledonian and also the Alpine regions as suggested by their partly comparable tectonic relations.
