The Great Smokey Group and the Mineral Bluff Group of the southern Appalachians Blue Ridge contain units of metaconglomerate that contain stretched quartz pebbles. Quartz pebbles have been widely used as strain markers in conglomerates....
Two major thrust systems are located along the eastern Blue Ridge â western Blue Ridge boundary in the Alabama and Georgia Appalachians. The pre-metamorphic Hillabee thrust is near the trailing edge of the Talladega belt thrust sheet...
Tectonostratigraphy, Geochemistry, and Geochronology of the Dadeville Complex of Alabama and Georgia: The Southern Appalachians Link to the Taconic Orogeny and Associated Suprasubduction System
Taconic orogenesis along the eastern Laurentian margin was a dynamic tectonic event during the Ordovician that has been difficult to reconcile until as of late. The record of the Taconic orogeny is complex, and each section of the...
The Cartersville area in Georgia lies at the junction between the Alabama Recess and the Tennessee Salient. The rocks here are the easternmost exposures in the foreland fold and thrust belt of the southern Appalachians. It is bounded to...
The Mulberry Rock recess exposes four different lithotectonic metamorphic units; these lithotectonic units were metamorphosed before the thrusting that occurred due to the Alleghanian orogeny. The lithotectonic units were divided into 1....
The Paleozoic growth of the eastern margin of the North American continent is exemplified by the amalgamation of a series of terranes due to the closure of intervening ocean(s) and the obduction of fragments of oceanic and continental...
Geology of the Epperson Synclinorium, Georgia and Tennessee, Correlating Middle Paleozoic Successor Basin Sequences and Implications for the Depositional and Tectonometamorphic Evolution of the Southern Appalachian Western Blue Ridge
The Epperson synclinorium contains a key sequence of middle Paleozoic stratigraphy nested within the main mass of the western Blue Ridge-Talladega belt allochthon. For many decades, previous interpretations have assigned these rocks to...
