Book Synopsis Canyon Country by : Sandra N. Eldredge
Download or read book Canyon Country written by Sandra N. Eldredge and published by Utah Geological Survey. This book was released on 1996-01-22 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This vast rock desert in southeastern Utah showcases deep, colorful canyons, majestic natural monuments pictured in western movies, a fantasy land of towering pinnacles and slot canyons, rock arches and bridges, and breathtaking vistas atop mesas. Much can be seen by car, and more of this endlessly intriguing country is accessible by foot, mountain bike, four-wheel-drive vehicle, or watercraft. You do not have to be a geologist to enjoy or interpret the scenery, for the rocks easily divulge their stories of forming in seas or on land, in deserts or in deltas, in rivers or along beaches. What a fascinating heritage: dinosaurs once sauntered through lush lowlands leaving huge footprints in mud that has now turned to rock, vast sand dunes that drifted across the area are preserved as large sweeping lines in sandstone walls, and oceans that once covered this region left fossilized corals and seashells embedded in limestone. This guide introduces you to the rocks’ stories, to enhance your travels and your appreciation of the region. Along designated scenic byways, which are portrayed at the end of this pamphlet, look for the specific features described here and learn what their journey has been as you make yours. During your visit, tread lightly on this delicate land so that the pristine and unique landscape remains unchanged. Desert soils are extremely fragile; minimize your impact by staying on roads or marked trails.
Book Synopsis Geologic Guide to Cloudland Canyon State Park by : Martha M. Griffin
Download or read book Geologic Guide to Cloudland Canyon State Park written by Martha M. Griffin and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 1983 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scenic Cloudland Canyon State Park, located on Lookout Mountain in Dade County, Georgia offers visitors one of the most spectacular panoramas in the area. Rugged and precipitous canyons, marked by dazzling waterfalls, plunge over 800 feet to the floor of Lookout Valley. The park is located in the Cumberland Plateau that forms the extreme northwestern corner of the state. The rocks of this plateau represent the late Paleozoic Era and range from 340 to 280 million years old. These rocks, originally deposited in open sea and coastal environments, have been subsequently altered by deformation and erosion into the dramatic configurations that exist today. The purpose of this guide is to interpret the exposed rocks of Cloudland Canyon as "readable" records of past events in the earth's history. Because this area represents deposits originally laid down adjacent to an ancient shoreline, examination of geologic processes at the modern coastline will serve as the key to identification of the rocks of the canyon.
Book Synopsis The Geology of Part of the Snake River Canyon and Adjacent Areas in Northeastern Oregon and Western Idaho by : Tracy Lowell Vallier
Download or read book The Geology of Part of the Snake River Canyon and Adjacent Areas in Northeastern Oregon and Western Idaho written by Tracy Lowell Vallier and published by . This book was released on 1967 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mapped area lies between the Wallowa Mountains of northeastern Oregon and the Seven Devils Mountains of western Idaho. Part of the Snake River canyon is included. A composite stratigraphic section includes at least 30,000 feet of strata. Pre- Tertiary and Tertiary strata are separated by a profound unconformity. Pre -Tertiary layered rocks are mostly Permian and Triassic volcaniclastic and volcanic flow rocks. At least four pre -Tertiary intrusive suites occur. Tertiary rocks are Miocene and Pliocene plateau basalts. Quaternary glacial materials and stream deposits locally mantle the older rocks. Permian rocks of the Windy Ridge Formation are the oldest rocks and consist of 2,000 to 3,000 feet of keratophyre, quartz keratophyre, and keratophric pyroclastic rocks. Unconformably overlying the Windy Ridge Formation are 8,000 to 10,000 feet of volcaniclastic rocks and minor volcanic flow rocks of the Hunsaker Creek Formation of Middle Permian (Leonardian and Wordian) age. Spilitic flow rocks of the Kleinschmidt Volcanics are interlayered with and in part overlie the Hunsaker Creek Formation and comprise a sequence about 2,000 to 3,000 feet thick. The Paleozoic layered rocks were intruded by the Holbrook - Irondyke intrusives, composed of keratophyre porphyry, quartz keratophyre porphyry, diabase, and gabbro. The Paleozoic rocks were deformed by an orogeny between Middle Permian and Middle Triassic time. Plutonic rocks (Oxbow Complex) of gabbro, quartz diorite, diorite, and albite granite were intruded during Early Triassic (7) time. Movements along the Oxbow -Cuprum shear zone occurred during and after the intrusions. Middle Triassic (Ladinian) spilitic flow rocks and volcaniclastic rocks of the Grassy Ridge Formation overlie the older rocks with angular unconformity. Thicknesses are 3,000 to 4,000 feet in the northeast part of the map area; no rocks of the Grassy Ridge Formation are exposed in the southwest part. The Imnaha Formation of Late Triassic (Karnian) age overlies the Permian strata unconformably near Fish Lake in the western part of the area. The Doyle Creek Formation of Late Triassic (Karnian) age conformably overlies the Grassy Ridge Formation in the Snake River and Imnaha River canyons and may interfinger with the Imnaha Formation east of Fish Lake. The Doyle Creek Formation ranges in thickness from 3,000 to 5,000 feet and includes two members - the Ashby Creek Conglomerate and the Piedmont Point Member. The Martin Bridge Formation, represented by 1,750 feet of Late Triassic (Norian) limestone, conformably overlies the Doyle Creek Formation. At least two intrusive events apparently occurred during the Jurassic Period. The Jurassic intrusives, were emplaced before regional metamorphism and consist of hypabyssal dikes and sills of diorite, quartz diorite, and dacite and andesite porphyries. Subsequently, the Upper Jurassic intrusives were emplaced during a late stage of regional metamorphism and are represented by small stocks of gabbro, norite, quartz diorite, and gran - odiorite porphyry. A major orogeny during Middle and Late Jurassic time deformed the rocks. Regional metamorphism produced mineral assemblages characteristic of the greenschist facies. Columbia River Basalt, 2,000 to 3,000 feet thick, erupted from fissures during late Miocene and early Pliocene time and covered an old erosion surface. Pliocene - Pleistocene uplift, alpine glaciation, and extensive stream erosion are responsible for the present topography.

Book Synopsis Islands & Rapids by : Tracy Lowell Vallier
Download or read book Islands & Rapids written by Tracy Lowell Vallier and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, the first written on the geology of Hells Canyon, a world-class scientist tells the story of the deepest gorge on the North American continent. Born as islands in the Pacific Ocean, the rocks in Hells Canyon moved slowly northward with the North American continent after it broke loose from the Pangea supercontinent. Finally, the islands collided with the North American continent and were zippered to it. Bathed again by the sea, deeply eroded, and subsequently covered beneath a mile of lava flows, the entire area was lifted by, and along, large faults. In addition to telling the geologic history of the canyon, the book includes a mile-by-mile guide to the major features of Hells Canyon. A glossary and an annotated bibliography also complement the author's narrative along with his personal reminiscences and more than 100 photographs, many in full color.
