A general geometric framework underlies the structure, evolution, and mechanical
processes associated with thrust faulting. The main purpose of this paper is to review and …

A summary of available geochronology of deformational fabrics formed at greenschist and
higher grades in the central and southern Appalachians is presented as a map showing the …

The distribution of Hercynian granitic plutons in the central and southern Appalachians is
compatible with their being generated in a continental magmatic-arc environment. Isotopic …

The record of Alleghanian movements in the rocks of the Brevard fault zone has been
studied by using modern techniques of kinematic analysis. Mylonitic and phyllonitic fabric …

Reprocessing of COCORP southern Appalachian data was focused on basic seismic
evidence for continuation of sediments beneath a master decollement. The most important …

The Charlotte 1 ox 2 quadrangle extends across four lithotectonic belts of the Piedmont from
the Coastal Plain and Wadesboro TriassiC'basin on the east to the Blue Ridge belt in the …

Sillimanite grade Dalradian schists composed of pelites, impure psammites, quartzites and
calcite marbles, all containing amphibolites, were intruded and hornfelsed (giving hornfels …

Seventy‐four new heat flow values have been determined at sites from New Jersey to
Georgia, mostly in the Piedmont and Atlantic Coastal Plain provinces. Relatively high heat …

The lithosphere is, to a first approximation, a layered system. Generally, pressure,
temperature and composition are strongly dependent on depth and vary relatively little …

Seismic reflection profiling of the continental basement provides a means for tracing known
features from the surface to great depths, and hence for exploring and identifying deep and …
