Abstract
This publication begins with the basics of definition and description of a foreland, and in particular North American foreland areas. It then goes into detail on Rocky Mountain foreland areas, covering general information, age of basement complexes, basement rock types, angles of basement faulting, contrast of structural concepts, predominant structural styles, and drape versus dynamic folding of sediments.
