“…Spatially limited outcrops of late-Jurassic-and Eocene-aged volcanic rocks along the border between Virginia and West Virginia (Mazza et al, 2014;Meyer & van Wijk, 2015;Mazza et al, 2017; see Figure 2) that are coincident with both a slow seismic anomaly (e.g., Wagner et al, 2018) and a conductive geoelectric anomaly (Evans et al, 2016) in the mantle lithosphere provide evidence for postrifting lithospheric modification, although more consideration is needed to determine whether such modification is due to hot spot impingement (e.g., Chu et al, 2013), to a delamination event (e.g., Mazza et al, 2014;Meyer & van Wijk, 2015;Schmandt & Lin, 2014), to localized thermal erosion (e.g., Evans et al, 2016), to a combination of such processes, or to some completely other process.
