Radon anomalies and microearthquakes at Lake Jocassee, South Carolina

Talwani, P. ; Moore, W.S. ; Ghiang, J. - J. Geophys. Res.; (United States)

Continuous low-level seismic activity was found to occur at Lake Jocassee after the impoundment of the reservoir in 1975. In addition to monitoring seismic activity we began (in January 1976) a series of geochemical measurements in an effort to search for precursors to M/sub 1/approx.2--2.5 events. Discrete water samples were collected from wells and a spring, and their radon content was determined by scintillation counting. These data were comparable to those obtained from a continuous Rn monitor in the spring using an ionization chamber. Soil Rn measurements in track etch cups were started in 1977. The results of the datamore »« less

Age and zircon inheritance of eastern Blue Ridge plutons, southwestern North Carolina and northeastern Georgia, with implications for magma history and evolution of the southern Appalachian origin

Miller, C.F. ; Hatcher, R.D. Jr. ; Ayers, J.C. ; ... - American Journal of Science

High-resolution ion microprobe analysis of zircon has provided ages for previously undated plutons of the high-grade eastern Blue Ridge of northeastern Georgia and southwestern North Carolina. These data, together with backscattered electron imaging, reveal the presence of nearly ubiquitous inherited cores of highly variable age and magmatic rims that have experienced variable Pb loss, thus making interpretation of conventional U-Pb analyses very difficult. Ion probe rim analyses indicate that the plutons were emplaced during both the mod-Ordovician and mid-Devonian. Zircons from all intrusions have predominantly 1.0 to 1.25 Ga cores (Grenvillian). In addition, both Devonian and Ordovician plutons have smallermore »« less

Depth and mineralogy of the magma source or pause region for the Carboniferous Liberty Hill pluton, South Carolina

Speer, J.A. - Geology; (United States)

Use of Al content geobarometry on clinopyroxene inclusions in plagioclase from the Carboniferous Liberty Hill pluton, South Carolina, yields pressure estimates of 8-10 kbar. Amphibole crystallization pressures are 3.1-4.7 kbar; contact metamorphic pressure are 4.5 kbar. Clinopyroxenes could be early crystallization products from the melt, restite crystals from the source region, xenocrysts from the magma conduit walls, or xenocrysts from a more mafic magma. Compositional uniformity of granitoid clinopyroxenes but dissimilarity with those in contemporaneous gabbroids is evidence against a xenocrystic origin. The deeper depths are interpreted as either the source region or a pausing place important in the crystallizationmore »« less
