Early Alleghany orogeny fold-and-and thrust tectonism created 78 doubly-plunging anticlines in the Appalachian Plateaus Province of PA west and north of the Allegheny front. Anticlines occur in 3 zones: southwest (SW), west central (WC), and north (N). Long anticlines, >15 km, are equally divided among zones.
