Title: A new species of stygobitic snail in the genus Antrorbis Hershler & Thompson, 1990 (Gastropoda, Cochliopidae) from the Appalachian Valley and Ridge of eastern Tennessee, USA

Abstract

A new species of cave snail (Littorinimorpha: Cochliopidae) in the genus Antrorbis is described from the dark zone of two caves in the Appalachian Valley and Ridge province in eastern Tennessee, United States. The Tennessee Cavesnail, Antrorbis tennesseensis Perez, Shoobs, Gladstone, & Niemiller, sp. nov. is distinguished from its only known congener, Antrorbis breweri, by the absence of raised tubercles on its finely spirally striate protoconch, and its unique radular formula. Moreover, A. tennesseensis is genetically distinct from A. breweri based on substantial divergence at the mitochondrial CO1 locus. This is the first cavesnail to be described from the Appalachian Valley and Ridge (AVR) physiographic province in the state of Tennessee, which previously represented a substantial gap in the distribution of stygobitic (i.e., aquatic, subterranean-obligate) gastropods.

Alabama's Appalachian overthrust amid exploratory drilling resurgence

Journal Article Taylor, J D ; Epsman, M L - Oil and Gas Journal; (United States)

Oil and gas exploration has been carried out sporadically in the Appalachian overthrust region of Alabama for years, but recently interest in the play has had a major resurgence. The Appalachian overthrust region of Alabama is best exposed in the valley and ridge physiographic province in the northeast part of the state. Resistant ridges of sandstone and chert and valleys of shales and carbonate have been thrust toward the northwest. Seismic data show that this structural style continues under the Cretaceous overlap. The surface and subsurface expression of the Alabama overthrust extends for more than 4,000 sq miles. Oil andmore »« less
Southern Appalachian Regional Seismic Network

Technical Report Chiu, S C.C. ; Johnston, A C ; Chiu, J M

The seismic activity in the southern Appalachian area was monitored by the Southern Appalachian Regional Seismic Network (SARSN) since late 1979 by the Center for Earthquake Research and Information (CERI) at Memphis State University. This network provides good spatial coverage for earthquake locations especially in east Tennessee. The level of activity concentrates more heavily in the Valley and Ridge province of eastern Tennessee, as opposed to the Blue Ridge or Inner Piedmont. The large majority of these events lie between New York - Alabama lineament and the Clingman/Ocoee lineament, magnetic anomalies produced by deep-seated basement structures. Therefore SARSN, even withmore »« less

Potential impacts of climate warming effects on aquatic biota in the Tennessee River system

Conference Wrenn, W B ; Nielsen, N A ; Poppe, W L

The Tennessee River, fifth largest in the United States based on discharge volume, has its origin in the western Appalachian mountains of Virginia and North Carolina and flows for 1,045 km to the mouth, joining the Ohio River in western Kentucky. The drainage basin, comprising 106,000 km2, is formed by a complex of physiographic provinces ranging from the Ridge-and-Valley province in the northeast to the Interior Coastal Plain in the west. Today, this river system, consisting of the mainstem Tennessee and its major tributaries, is fully controlled by a series of 40 dams, creating 264,000 ha of impounded surface water.more »« less
Characteristics of thin-skinned style of deformation in the southern Appalachians, and potential hydrocarbon traps

Journal Article Harris, L D ; Milici, R C - Geol. Surv. Prof. Pap. (U.S.); (United States)

Rootless folds and gently to steeply dipping thrust faults, which, at depth, join a master decollement near the sedimentary rock-basement contact, are the key tectonic fractures of the southern Valley and Ridge and Appalachian Plateaus provinces. The master decollement is a low-angle thrust in basement rocks beneath the Blue Ridge that extends westward as a detachment fault in the sedimentary rocks of the 2 provinces. The sharp surface change, at the Allegheny structural front, from more deformed rocks of the Valley and Ridge to the less deformed rocks of the Appalachian Plateaus is clearly a surficial feature. Drilling and localmore »« less
Correlation of the Ordovician Deicke and Millbrig K-bentonites between the Mississippi Valleyand the southern Appalachians

Journal Article Huff, W D ; Kolata, D R - AAPG Bulletin (American Association of Petroleum Geologists); (USA)

Two widespread Rocklandian age (Middle Ordovician) K-bentonite beds, the Deicke and Millbrig, can be correlated from southern Minnesota and northwestern Iowa through eastern Missouri across Kentucky and central Tennessee to the valley and Ridge of the southern Appalachian Mountains. They are equivalent to beds previously called T-3 or Pencil Cave and T-4 or Mud Cave metabentonites, and thus constitute Ordovician chronostratigraphic marker horizons throughout much of the eastern Mid-Continent. Previous correlations of these beds in the Mississippi Valley by chemical fingerprinting is extended toward the southern Appalachian basin by tracing in surface exposures and on wireline logs. Both beds thickenmore »« less
