Description

Rolley's (1951) map of the Herrin Coal Member (Pennsylvanian) shows the Bungay Dome as an irregular, north-trending anticline with two small areas of closure. Structure on the Beech Creek ("Barlow") Limestone (ISGS open files) is similar. The Bungay and Blairsville Domes are virtually connected at the Beech Creek horizon. Together, the domes provide structural traps for the Bungay Consolidated Oil Field.
