Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book delves into the hidden geology beneath the North Carolina Coastal Plain, revealing a complex and ancient landscape sculpted by millions of years of geological processes. By analysing rock samples from numerous boreholes and interpreting geophysical data, the author constructs a detailed map of the basement rocks that lie concealed beneath the Coastal Plain's surface. The book unveils a diverse range of rock types, from metamorphosed volcanic and sedimentary rocks to large granitic batholiths, showcasing the region's dynamic geological past. It explores the evidence for ancient fault zones, including the influential Nutbush Creek and Hollister faults, which have played a significant role in shaping the present-day geological structure. The author also investigates the possibility of concealed early Mesozoic rift basins and their potential implications for the region's geological history. This comprehensive study sheds light on the intricate geological foundations of the North Carolina Coastal Plain, offering valuable insights into the forces that have shaped the land we see today. By understanding the basement geology, we gain a deeper appreciation for the region's geological evolution and its connection to the broader Appalachian mountain system. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
