Abstract
Application of the PAC hypothesis to the Olney and Elmwood Members of the Manlius Formation in central New York supports the general hypothesis that this portion of the Helderberg Group accumulated episodically. This limited stratigraphic interval consists of small-scale upward shallowing cycles (PACs) which strongly resemble wellÂdocumented ancient and Recent upward-shallowing tidal cycles. PACs of the Olney and Elmwood Members constitute a shallowing PAC sequence which developed as a result of eastward progradÂation of tidal facies. Within this shallowing PAC sequence, paleoenvironments and paleogeography evolved episodically in response to widespread punctuation events at PAC boundaries. Within each PAC of the sequence, paleoenvironments developed gradually as a result of sedimentary aggradation; between PACs paleogeographic patterns were abruptly altered by punctuation events.
