Union College geologist Professor Philip Hewitt outlines a two fault theory for the Taconic Range formation. He argues that a first thrust moved eastern New York slate belt toward the Hudson Valley about 400 million years ago, followed by a second thrust shaping the Green Mountains and Taconic Range.
