Geology of the Farmville Metagranite and Associated Units as Exposed at the Notasulga Quarry, Notasulga, Alabama
(2009-07-21)
Predicting the locations and thicknesses of aggregate-affable lithologies (ore units), interburden (non-ore material between ore-units), and overburden (overlying soil/saprolite) on a local level is critical for developing ...
Geology of the Jacksons Gap, Alabama, 7.5-Minute Quadrangle: Implications for the Evolution of the Brevard Fault Zone
(2015-05-11)
The Brevard fault zone is a major Appalachian structure that marks the boundary between the eastern Blue Ridge (EBR) and the Dadeville Complex (DC) of the Inner Piedmont (IP) terrane in Alabama. Despite over a century of ...
Geology of the Milltown Alabama 7.5’ Quadrangle and 40Ar/39Ar geochronology of muscovite from select rocks of the east-central Alabama Piedmont
(2018-12-13)
The Milltown 7.5’ Quadrangle is located within east-central Alabama and
contains features important to understanding the formation of the southern
Appalachians. The Brevard fault zone passes through the Milltown Quadrangle ...
Geology of the Moscow Landing Section, Tombigbee River, Western Alabama, with Focus on Ichnologic Aspects of the Lower Paleocene Clayton Formation
(2019-06-07)
Sedimentologic and ichnologic studies were performed on units of the Moscow Landing section, a ~1.5-km exposure of Upper Cretaceous and Lower Paleocene strata along the west bank of the Tombigbee River, Sumter County, ...
Geology of the Southernmost Exposures of the Brevard Zone in the Red Hill Quadrangle, Alabama
(2006-12-15)
The southernmost exposures of the Brevard zone were mapped to characterize its lithologic makeup and structural character and to explore its significance to the tectonic evolution of the southernmost Appalachians. Two ...
Geology of the Wadley South Quadrangle and geochronology of the Dadeville Complex, southernmost Appalachians of east Alabama
(2016-08-01)
Geologic mapping results from rocks in the area of the Wadley South Quadrangle are reported to address basic research questions concerning the Paleozoic tectonometamorphic evolution of the southernmost Appalachians. Key ...
