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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Appalachians constitute one of Earth's major tectonic features and have served as a springboard for innovative geologic thought for more than 170 years. This volume contains 36 original papers reporting the results of research performed throughout nearly the entire length and breadth of the Appalachian region, including all major provinces and geographical areas. Memoir 206 was designed to commemorate the (near-)fortieth anniversary of the publication of the classic Studies of Appalachian Geology volumes that appeared just prior to the application of plate tectonic concepts to the region. Contributions concerning structural evolution, sedimentation, stratigraphy, magmatic processes, metamorphism, tectonics, and terrane accretion illustrate the wide range of ongoing research in the area and collectively serve to mark the considerable progress in scientific thought that has occurred during the past four decades."--pub. desc.

Download or read book Characterizing the Relationship of Part of the Inner Piedmont and Pine Mountain Window Georgia from Detailed Geologic Mapping Geochemistry Geochronology and Structural Analysis at the Southwestern End of the Cat Square Terrane written by Justin R. Rehrer and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geologic investigations at the southwestern end of the Cat Square terrane (CSt) in central Georgia provided new insight into the complex tectonic history of the Pine Mountain window (PMw) and neighboring Inner Piedmont terranes. Detailed 1:24,000-scale geologic mapping of an approximately 180 km2 area near Barnesville, Georgia has provided the foundation for further geochemical, geochronologic, and structural analyses refining models for tectonic development and emplacement of the CSt and PMw. Whole-rock geochemical analyses of several CSt amphibolites yielded data suggesting a continental back-arc setting for genesis of the Cat Square basin (CSb). Major element data confirm derivation from a basaltic protolith and support the hypothesis that CSt amphibolites represent vestiges of ocean crust once comprising the CSb floor. Mid-ocean ridge basalt normalized multi-element diagrams and tectonic discriminant diagrams indicate that, while the CSb likely developed as a back-arc basin, basalt generated was not homogenous and involved mixing of at least two distinct magma components. Zircon geochronologic analyses of select lithologies provided new data regarding the crystallization and deformation history of basement units of the PMw, plus a maximum depositional age of the CSb. SHRIMP-RG ages of zircons from basement felsic gneiss, the Woodland Gneiss, and basement tonalite yielded approximate ages of 1158, 1040, and 1011 Ma, respectively. Analysis of three detrital samples of CSt biotite gneiss via LA-ICPMS yielded a 602 ± 8 Ma age for the youngest zircon and peak ages of 1356, 1232, 1171, 1054, 1030, 954, and 858 Ma for the suite. The older of the two ages provides a robust upper limit on the depositional age of the CSb, but does not refute the younger interpreted age of the basin proposed by others. Structural analysis of the study area supports the hypothesis that the PMw is structurally complex and is framed by at least three faults of different ages. These interpretations have advanced our understanding of the tectonic history of the PMw from once inferring a simple erosional hole in a thrust sheet to now suggesting the Pine Mountain terrane was a microcontinent rifted from the Laurentian margin during the breakup of Rodinia.
