TL;DR: Pore fluid studies showed that relatively fresh to brackish water occurs beneath much of the Atlantic continental shelf, whereas increases in salinity off Georgla and beneath the Florida-Hatteras slope suggest buried evaporitic strata.
Journal ArticleDOI
Episodic post-rift subsidence of the United States Atlantic continental margin
TL;DR: In this article, sediment thickness, paleobathymetry, and chronostratigraphy from COST wells offshore from Georgia and New Jersey indicate periods of rapid subsidence superimposed on the slower thermal subsidence of the continental margin.

Ancient impact structures on modern continental shelves: The Chesapeake Bay, Montagnais, and Toms Canyon craters, Atlantic margin of North America
TL;DR: Three ancient impact craters (Chesapeake Bay, Toms Canyon, and Montagnais) are currently known to be buried beneath modern continental shelves as mentioned in this paper, and these craters were created by submarine impacts, which produced many structural and morphological features similar in construction, composition, and variability to those documented in well-preserved subaerial and planetary impact Craters.
