The Abbotsford 7.5’ quadrangle resides entirely within the Dadeville complex, a volcanic arc complex located in the Alabama-Georgia Inner Piedmont region of the southern Appalachian mountain belt system. The Dadeville complex has been...
The Jackson's Gap Group is a thin section (~3 km wide) of sheared, compositionally interlayered metamorphic rocks spanning from west Georgia to central Alabama, representing the southernmost extent of the Brevard Zone. The...
The Appalachian orogen is separated from west to east and into the Cumberland Plateau, Valley and Ridge, Blue Ridge, Inner Piedmont, and Carolina Superterrane physiographic provinces. Within the southern Appalachians of Alabama and...
The southeastern Blue Ridge hosts a suite of metamorphic rock units that provide insight to the Neoproterozoic to Paleozoic tectonic influences that impacted the Laurentian continent. The Ashland-Wedowee-Emuckfaw belt of the southernmost...
The geologic history of the southern Appalachians, specifically the rock suites comprising the Wedowee-Emuckfaw units in the Eastern Blue Ridge, have been the subject of debate for decades. A growing body of evidence implies the Taconic...
Investigations of the Southern Appalachian Eastern Blue Ridge of East Central Alabama and West Central Georgia Using Structural, Geochemical, and Thermobarometric Analyses
Recent work in the southern Appalachians has identified the remnants of a historically critical Ordovician back-arc basin that now resides in the Talladega belt, eastern Blue Ridge, and Inner Piedmont terranes of Alabama, Georgia and...
The southern Appalachian Inner Piedmont in east central Alabama and west Georgia consists of two tectonically separated Ordovician lithotectonic units: the structurally upper Dadeville Complex and the underlying Opelika Group. The...
The Dadeville Complex is a large klippe located in the Alabama Inner Piedmont of the southern Appalachian orogen lying immediately above rocks of the eastern Blue Ridge and Brevard Zone, in the core of the Tallassee synform. Structural...
The focus of this study is the southern Appalachian thrust belt in Alabama located between the Black Warrior Basin and the Appalachian Piedmont. The general stratigraphy of the area is located in the Appalachian Plateau and the Valley...
The Talladega-Cartersville fault emplaces the rocks of the Talladega metamorphic belt upon the unmetamorphosed rocks of the foreland fold-and-thrust belt. The Talladega slate belt is composed of lower-greenschist facies meta-sedimentary...
The Allatoona fault is an internal, out-of-sequence thrust fault in the southernmost Appalachian hinterland, extending >280 km. Along the fault's nearly linear trace it cuts obliquely through Blue Ridge tectonostratigraphy, metamorphic...
