Crustal structure of the Southeast Georgia embayment-Carolina trough: Preliminary results of a composite seismic image of a continental suture ( ) and a volcanic passive margin

Journal Article Austin, Jr, J A ; Stoffa, P L ; Phillips, J D ; ... - Geology; (USA)

New deep-penetration multichannel seismic reflection data, combined with refraction results and magnetics modeling, support a hypothesis that the Carolina trough is a Mesozoic volcanic passive margin exhibiting a seaward-dipping wedge and associated underplating. The structure of Carolina platform continental crust is consistent with the late Paleozoic continental collision that produced the Appalachians, but imbrication has had no obvious effect on shallower structures produced by Mesozoic extension and volcanism. The origin of prominent magnetic anomalies crossing the Southeast Georgia embayment can be explained by processes attending Mesozoic separation of Africa and North America, and is not related to a Paleozoic continentalmore » suture, as previously postulated.« less

Simulation of continental basin margin sedimentation in response to crustal movements, eustatic sea level change, and sediment accumulation rates

Journal Article Helland-Hansen, W ; Kendall, C G.St.C. ; Lerche, I ; ... - J. Int. Assoc. Math. Geol.; (United States)

As eustasy, subsidence, and sediment accumulation vary, a 2D computer-based graphical simulation generates on-lapping and off-lapping geometries of both marine and near coastal alluvial deposits, reproducing timelines within sediment-bodies at basin margins. In the simulation, deposition is expressed by creation of new surfaces above previous ones. Thicknesses of layers are reduced by both erosion and compaction while their surfaces move vertically in response to tectonic change and loading. Simulation is divided into a series of equal time steps in which sediment is deposited as an array of en-echelon columns that mark the top of the previous depositional surface. The volumemore »« less

Stratigraphy and structure of southern Blake Plateau, northern Florida Straits, and northern Bahama Platform from multichannel seismic reflection data

Journal Article Sheridan, R E ; Crosby, J T ; Bryan, G M ; ... - Am. Assoc. Pet. Geol., Bull.; (United States)

Approximately 2,100 km of 24-fold multichannel seismic reflection data reveal much about the subsurface geology for a large part of the continental margin east of Florida. Discordance between the westward-dipping pre-breakup sediments and the eastward-sloping basement along the edge of the Blake Plateau is interpreted as an effect of a splinter of continental margin derived from the African plate by a spreading-center jump in the Middle Jurassic. Early rifting centered under the main part of the Blake Plateau became inactive, as a spreading-center jump shifted the active rift to east of the present Blake Escarpment along the Blake Spur magneticmore »« less
Fine structure of methane hydrate-bearing sediments on the Blake Outer ridge as determined from deep-tow multichannel seismic data. (Reannouncement with new availability information). Final report

Technical Report Rowe, M M ; Gettrust, J F

High-resolution, deep-tow multichannel seismic data are used to investigate the detailed structure of sediments containing methane hydrate. These data support thick, laterally extensive layers of methane hydrate-bearing sediment underlain by a bottom simulating reflector (BSR) and spatially discontinuous zones of hydrate within the sediments above the BSR depth where no BSR is present. These data resolve normal faults which extend from the surface through the BSR with apparent offsets of up to 20 m. A phase inversion identified at the top of the BSR shows that the material immediately beneath the BSR has anomalously low velocity, consistent with a layermore »« less
