EOCENE TECTONIC EVOLUTION OF THE TETON-ABSAROKA RANGES, WYOMING

摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY Our initial goal was to continue the previous years' effort on the South Fork detachment, our investigation of fault gouge injectites at White Mountain in the Heart Mountain detachment (Craddock et al., 2009), and study the footwall folds (Archean thrust over Paleozoic sediments) in the Teton Range. Sadly, deep snowpack made the folding projects inaccessible but we did return to the Hominy Peak section to collect additional samples of the Eocene Pinyon Conglomerate.
