The Geology of the Carolinas
Author: J. Wright Horton
Publisher: Univ. of Tennessee Press
ISBN: 9780870496622
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 432
Book Description
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.

The Paxton Group of Southeastern New England
Author: Patrick James Barosh
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Geology
Languages : en
Pages : 28
Book Description
The Paxton Schist of Perry and Emerson (1903), referred to as the "Paxton Quartz Schist" by Emerson (1917), consists of medium-gray, thin- to medium-bedded, fine to coarse-grained schistose granulite, which weathers the same color or slightly darker with a brownish cast. It is pre- Ordovician and probably late Proterozoic in age. The Paxton is herein elevated to group status. The Paxton as revised excludes strata now assigned to the overlying Brimfield Group (Peper and others, 1975). The lower, fine-grained part of the Paxton is herein named the Dudley Formation, and the upper, interbedded, fine to coarse-grained part is referred to as the Southbridge Formation (Pease, 1972). An excellent reference section for the Paxton is present along the north- east side of the Quinebaug River southeast of Southbridge, Mass. The approximate thickness of exposed mapped width of the Paxton is 4,700 meters (m), of which the Dudley forms 1 ,000 m and the Southbridge 3,700 m. The Paxton conformably overlies the Oakdale Formation and underlies the Brimfield Group in its type area in central Massachusetts. It forms a northeast-trending belt extending from east-central Connecticut into southern Maine and probably into the central Maine coast. It is correlative with the Hebron Formation in eastern Connecticut, the upper part of the Berwick Formation in southern Maine, and the Rye Formation on the New Hampshire coast. A slight coarsening of the unit toward the northwest suggests a source in that direction.
