Book excerpt: Horry and Marion counties have many geomorphic characteristics typical of the outer portion of the Atlantic Coastal Plain. The sequence of coastal and fluvial deposits reflects five phases coastal progradation, designated Horry, Conway, Jaluco, Myrtle, and Recent. During each phase a depositional surface has been built composed of a barrier island behind which has accumulated quite-water (backbarrier-flat) and fluvial sediments. A sixth depositional surface composed entirely of fluvial sediments (Terrace I) has also been mapped. Differences in elevation, soil development, dissection, degree of preservation of primary morphology, and stratigraphic relations indicate that four major transgressions and possibly two minor transgressions are responsible for the depositional morphology. In the periods between Horry and Conway-Jaluco, Conway-Jaluco and Myrtle, and Myrtle and Recent, major regressions of the sea occurred during which time the surfaces were exposed to fluvial dissection, soil development, and partial wind deflation. During the intervals which separate Conway-Jaluco from Myrtle and Myrtle from Recent, two minor regressions-transgressions may have taken place leading in the first instance to the development of the Jaluco surface, and in the second instance to Terrace I. The changing nature of geomorphic processes accompanying the fluctuations of sea level in late Cenozoic times has lead to a complex pattern of landforms which have been superimposed upon the primary depositional morphology. These include entrenched drainage basins, benched valley sideslopes, localized fluvial terraces, sinkholes, Carolina bays, and valley dunes. (Author).

Download or read book The Geology of the Carolinas written by J. Wright Horton and published by Univ. of Tennessee Press. This book was released on 1991 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To celebrate its fiftieth anniversary, the Carolina Geological Society invited forty-three authors to contribute to the creation of The Geology of the Carolinas. The only comprehensive, modern treatment of the subject, the volume has been prepared for a diverse readership ranging from undergraduate students to specialists in the fields of geology and related earth sciences. Following the editors' general introduction are chapters on Precambrian and Paleozoic metamorphic and igneous rocks of the Appalachian Blue Ridge and Piedmont; rocks of early Mesozoic rift basins, formed just before the opening of the Atlantic Ocean; Cretaceous and Tertiary sedimentary deposits of the Atlantic Coastal Plain; Quaternary geology and geomorphology; Cenozoic tectonism, including evidence for the recurrence of large earthquakes near Charleston; and an overview of mineral resources in the Carolinas. The book includes an index of field guides produced by the society and a thorough bibliography. By introducing exciting new concepts and focusing on challenging problems on the frontiers of research, this authoritative book will stimulate research in the years to come. The Editors: J. Wright Horton, Jr., is a research geologist for the United States Geological Survey in Reston, Virginia. Victor A. Zullo is a professor of geology at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington.

Book excerpt: The book is structured thematically, encompassing principles, processes and products, practice and applications. Discussion of processes that control heavy mineral assemblages throughout the rock cycle are presented by leading experts, whose key-note works are followed by specialist case studies. Each work also provides details on the geology of the study area, techniques and data treatment. The high number of contributions represent the collective experience and wisdom of generations of geologists, and provide an invaluable source of references to works carried out in many parts of the world.* Presents a unique and authoritative resource of immediate relevance and practical use to the researcher and applied geologist * Contains case studies demonstrating the broad range of applications of heavy minerals in a variety of modern and ancient geological settings, and in resource exploration * Includes examples of geological problems from employing heavy mineral analysis and establishing criteria that can be applied before deciding to undertake a study
