Untitled

In this article, there seems to be several sections of missing geological events. To assist in editing this article, I will contribute by adding information about the glacial history of New England [1] [2]. Also, I will include more specific additional information to the three Appalachian-forming orogenic events (Taconic, Acadian, Alleghenian) [3] [4]

Proposed Reorganization

As part of our class project we are editing the Geology of New England article. We propose changing the current outline based on tectonic events to one based on the geologic timescale similar to the format of the Geology of Scotland article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Faultrox (talkcontribs) 19:52, 9 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
