Description

The Abingdon Dome was defined by subsurface mapping of the Colchester Coal Member. A single control point was used to infer roughly 20 feet (6 m) of closure in Sections 10 and 15, T9N, RlE. Remapping of the Colchester Coal showed no suggestion of a dome or anticline (Smith and Berggren 1963); therefore, use of the name Abingdon Dome should be discontinued.
