Download or read book The Structure and Stratigraphy of the Virgin Valley McGee Mountain Area Humboldt County Nevada written by William Glen Wendell and published by . This book was released on 1970 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Virgin Valley-McGee Mountain area is located in the northwest corner of Nevada in the northwestern part of the Basin and Range structural province. Rocks within the area consist predominantly of Miocene to Pleistocene volcanic rocks and volcanic derived sedimentary rocks. The volcanic rocks include rhyolite, rhyolite welded tuffs, and basalt. Sedimentary rocks are volcanic conglomerates, sandstones, siltstones, and mudstones with subordinate amounts of diatomite, lignite, opaline chert, and volcanic tuff. Unconsolidated deposits include Quaternary alluvium, landslide debris, and playa sediments. The entire sequence is 2200± feet thick. Rock units within the thesis area can be correlated with units of the same age throughout northeastern California, northwestern Nevada, central and southern Oregon, and western Idaho. The principal structural features within the area are the Virgin Valley syncline, Big Mountain-McGee Mountain anticline, and the tilted fault-block mountain that gives rise to the Big Mountain- McGee Mountain complex. The deformation that produced the broad, gentle folds and fault-block mountain were part of the Basin and Range orogeny. The episode of greatest faulting occurred during Pleistocene time, producing the present features of the Basin and Range structure within the thesis area and the surrounding region.

Download or read book Miocene Stratigraphy written by A. Montanari and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1997-06-18 with total page 713 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Integrated stratigraphy is essential for⧫ detailed paleoecologic studies of critical intervals in Earth history⧫ the calibration of the time scale for global use⧫ the establishment of Global Stratotype Sections and Points (GSSPs) for the definition of chronostratigraphic boundaries.This book constitutes an excellent and probably unique example of how interdisciplinary stratigraphic and geochronologic studies are approached with modern methodologies and techniques.It contains numerous unpublished, accurate radioisotopic dates of volcano-sedimentary layers interbedded in fossiliferous marine and continental Miocene sequences representing Mediterranean and Pacific environments. New, extremely detailed paleontologic data which constitute the basis for an accurate definition of the Miocene biostratigraphy, and the study of the ecologic evolution of Miocene marine environments are also included.The chapters are complimented by black-and-white photographs, graphic figures, and tables.Stratigraphers, paleontologists and sedimentologists plus geologists working in oil companies will certainly find this work of interest.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Weepah Hills Area (Nevada) exposes exhumed metamorphic and plutonic rocks and upper-plate (supradetachment) volcano-sedimentary rocks that have experienced a complex, multi-stage deformational and depositional history. The Weepah Hills metamorphic core complex (WHMCC) is located in a region of the western Cordillera that was affected by both Miocene Basin-and-Range style E-W extension and Mio-Pliocene Walker Lane transcurrent shearing. Mio-Pliocene transcurrent deformation is transferred across a ~175 km releasing bend, known as the Mina Deflection, that kinematically links dextral strike-slip faults of the Death Valley-Fish Lake Valley with the central Walker Lane Belt. Progressive Mio-Pliocene transtension is characterized by core complex detachment faulting and younger high-angle normal faults. Timing of detachment faulting is constrained by both (U-Th)/He thermochronometry of footwall rocks and detailed chronostratigraphy of upper-plate strata to between 9-6 Ma. This age is supported by deformation recorded in the upper-plate strata that is attributed to progressive folding of the detachment associated with corrugation development. Earlier Miocene Basin-and-Range style extension is characterized by N-S trending high-angle normal faults and half-grabens that are strongly overprinted by Mio-Pliocene structures. (U-Th)/He zircon cooling ages from the detachment footwall range from ~12-20 Ma and are attributed to exhumation and unroofing related to E-W Basin-and-Range extension. New detailed sedimentological and geochronologic data show that, in contrast to previous research, the WHMCC upper-plate strata do not form a single supradetachment package, but rather three temporally distinct Miocene stratigraphic packages bounded by angular unconformities. The stratigraphic, structural, and exhumational record preserved in the WHMCC elucidates the timing of deformation and sedimentary basin evolution related to both Basin-and-Range E-W extension and Walker Lane related NW-directed transtension.
