Download or read book Sand Resources on the Inner Continental Shelf of the Cape Fear Region North Carolina written by Edward P. Meisburger and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Inner Continental Shelf of North Carolina between the South Carolina border and Cape Lookout was investigated to obtain information on bottom and subbottom sediment deposits and geologic structure. Primary survey coverage consists of 512 statute miles (824 kilometers) of high-resolution seismic reflection profiles and 124 cores ranging in length from 2 to 20 feet (0. 6 to 6. 1 meters). Sand suitable for restoration and nourishment of nearby beaches was located, described, and mapped for 27 potential offshore borrow sites. This sand occurs commonly in thin sheet deposits or as relict channel fill. However, extensive sand deposits exist in shoals off Cape Fear and Cape Lookout and in other low isolated shoals on the shelf floor and within the shoreface area. (Author).

This book was released on 1979 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Inner Continental Shelf off the North Carolina coast between the South Carolina border and Cape Lookout, North Carolina, was surveyed to obtain information on bottom and subbottom sediment deposits and structures. The location and the extent of deposits of sand suitable for restoration and nourishment of nearby beaches were investigated. Primary survey coverage consisted of 824 kilometers (445 nautical miles) of seismic reflection survey and 139 cores ranging in length from 0.6 to 6.1 meters (2 to 20 feet). More than half of the area surveyed is underlain by two thick sections of Coastal Plain sediments characterized by seaward-dipping progradational internal beds which generate a characteristic acoustic pattern on seismic reflection records. These beds are exposed on the shelf floor in places and elsewhere are covered by a thin sediment blanket. Samples of these extensive units indicate that one is of Cretaceous age and the other of Oligocene age. Both units consist predominantly of fine quartz sand. Other sediment units closely underlying the shelf floor consist of planar-to complex-bedded sheet and channel-fill deposits of predominantly quartz sand or biogenic calcium carbonate. These deposits range in age from Eocene to Holocene. Modern sediment accretion on the inner shelf appears to be largely restricted to the shoal fields off Cape Lookout and Cape Fear, and to inlet shoals along the coast.
