Download or read book Geology Geochemistry and Mineral Resource Assessment of the Southern Nantahala Wilderness and Adjacent Roadless Areas Rabun and Towns Counties Georgia and Clay and Macon Counties North Carolina written by John D. Peper and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Southern Nantahala Wilderness and the Buzzard Knob and Southern Nantahala Roadless Areas are near one another and near the North Carolina-Georgia State line in Rabun and Towns Counties, Ga., and Clay and Macon Counties, N.C. The areas collectively span a region of polydeformed and metamorphosed rocks assigned to three major thrust sheets, from east to west the Tallulah Falls, Helen, and Richard Russell thrust sheets. Outcrop patterns and minor structures in the older sillimanite- grade Richard Russell rocks in the western part of the study area outline an earlier phase of isoclinal folding not apparent in the outcrop pattern of younger kyanite- and staurolite-grade Coweeta Group rocks immediately to the east across the Shope Fork fault in the east-central parts of the study area. Major movement on the Shope Fork fault postdates isoclinal F1 folding but preceded F2 isoclinal folding, because F1 fold traces are covered by rocks above the fault and the fault is folded by F2 folds. Later shearing along the fault occurred during F3 cross-folding. Geologic considerations and geochemical sampling and analysis suggest low potential for all mineral resources except common building stone. The potential for some other nonmetallic resources, including corundum, feldspar, sheet mica, and vermiculite, is moderate to low. These are present in limited amounts but are currently of little economic value. The small deposits of soapstone present in the areas are too impure to be considered a resource. Late Archaic-Early Woodland Indian bowl-carving sites in soapstone are an archeological heritage that might deserve conservation. Oil and gas resource potential is unknown but believed to be small. Resource potential for gold is low; for massive sulfide deposits containing some copper and zinc, it is low to moderate. There is little to no resource potential for other metals.
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.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The geologic history of the southern Appalachians, specifically the rock suites comprising the Wedowee-Emuckfaw units in the Eastern Blue Ridge, have been the subject of debate for decades. A growing body of evidence implies the Taconic orogeny developed in an accretionary orogenic setting in the Southern Appalachians, rather than the collisional orogenesis assigned to the Northern Appalachians. These units, as well as the Jackson's Gap Group, are genetically related as all having formed in a back arc setting on the Laurentian Plate rather than in an exotic arc collisional environment, as interpreted by previous research and the findings of this study. The data collected for this evaluation provides additional information and high-resolution field mapping to strengthen the verification of the tectonic history of the region. Crossbedding structures were discovered for the first time in the Emuckfaw group, as well as undifferentiated diamictites in proximity to the fluvial structures. The nature of the Wedowee-Emuckfaw Groups contact was discovered to be stratigraphic in nature, with no faulted displacement found in the study area. Geothermobarometry constrained the timing of metamorphism in the field area to an average maximum temperature and pressure regime of 542 ± 44°C and 6.3 ± 2.2 kb for the Wedowee Group and 594 ± 49°C and 8.9 ± 1.9 kb for the Emuckfaw Group.
