20. ABSTRACT (Corrtrmje am reverse aids ff najce**ary and. Identity by block number) 



A data base consisting of 880, 180, and 35 kilometers (475, 97, and 19 

 nautical miles) each of high-resolution seismic reflection, bathymetric, and 

 side-scan sonar profilings was obtained in 1970 and 1974, along with 71 vibra- 

 tory cores and 3 onshore borings. These data were analyzed to assess the 

 resource potential of sand suitable for use in beach restoration and to estab- 

 lish the Quaternary evolutionary framework of the northern Delmarva inner 

 fchelf.
