  • 1 KECK PROPOSAL: Eocene Tectonic Evolution of the Teton-Absaroka
    KECK PROPOSAL: Eocene Tectonic Evolution of the Teton-Absaroka Ranges, Wyoming (Year 2) Project Leaders: John Craddock (Macalester College; [email protected]) and Dave Malone (Illinois State University; [email protected]) Host Institution: Macalester College, St. Paul, MN Project Dates: ~July 15-August 14, 2011 Student Prerequisites: Structural Geology, Sedimentology. Preamble: This project is an expansion of a 2010 Keck project that was funded at a reduced level (Craddock, 3 students); Malone and 4 students participated with separate funding. We completed or are currently working on three 2010 projects: 1. Structure, geochemistry and geochronology (U-Pb zircon) of carbonate pseudotachylite injection, White Mtn. (J. Geary, Macalester; note that this was not part of last year’s proposal but a new discovery in 2010 caused us to redirect our efforts), 2. Calcite twinning strains within the S. Fork detachment allochthon, northwest, WY (K. Kravitz, Smith; note because of a heavy snow pack in the Tetons this past summer, we chose a different structure to study), and 3. Provenance of heavy minerals and detrital zircon geochronology, Eocene Absaroka volcanics, northwest, WY (R. McGaughey, Carleton). We did not sample the footwall folds proposed in the previous proposal (under snow) and will focus on this project and mapping efforts of White Mountain and the 40 x 10 km S. Fork detachment area near Cody, WY, in part depending on the results (calcite strains, detrital zircons) of the 2010-11 effort. All seven students are working on the detrital zircon geochronology project, and two abstracts are accepted at the 2011 Denver GSA meeting. Overview: This proposal requests funding for 2 faculty to engage 6 students researching a variety of outstanding problems in the tectonic evolution of the Sevier-Laramide orogens as exposed in the Teton and Absaroka ranges in northwest Wyoming.

  • Chapter 17. Quartzite Gravel Northwest Wyoming
    Chapter 17 Quartzite Gravel of Northwest Wyoming The quartzites of southwest Montana and adjacent Idaho extend eastward into Wyoming1 in a semi-continuous belt, as shown on Figure 16.1 of the previous chapter. This chapter will describe those deposits. Quartzite Gravel Lag John Hergenrather and I have found scattered surficial quartzites from near Interstate 15 in northeastern Idaho, just south of Lima, Montana, eastward to the northern Teton Mountains and over a four-wheel drive pass between Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. These quartzites seem to have mostly formed a thin layer or lag deposit on the surface or were reworked by local mountain glaciation. This lag rep- resents the red hashed area in Figure 16.1. Quartzites on Top of the Northern Teton Mountains Probably the most fascinating quartz- ite location is on top of the northern Teton Mountains! Brent Carter and I took a Figure 17.1. Slightly dipping limestone at the top three day round trip hike to the top of Red of Red Mountain. Mountain in the northern Teton Moun- tains, 10,177 feet (3,102 m) msl!2,3 Red Mountain and Mount Moran (12,605 feet, 3,842 m msl) represent remnants of a flat-topped planation surface.2 Red Mountain is composed of slightly tilted limestones (Figure 17.1), while Mount Moran is composed of granite or gneiss with a 50-foot (15 m) thick cap of Flathead Sandstone on top (see Figure 33.7). The quartzites on top of Red Mountain are mainly a thin lag mixed with angular lime- stone cobbles and boulders (Figure 17.2).

The Pampean petrological, and sedimentological data from a orogeny started in Early Cambrian time with short-lived subduction, indicated by ca. 535 Ma 500 km traverse across the Eastern Sierras Pam- calc-alkaline granitoids. Following Pampean terrane collision, burial to granulite facies condi- peanas and Precordillera (Fig. 1). Pre-Silurian tions (ca. 9 kbar) generated widespread migmatites and ca. 520 Ma highly peraluminous gran- metamorphic and magmatic history is inferred ites in the Eastern Sierras Pampeanas. After brief quiescence, a second major episode, the from (1) dating by conventional U-Pb on abraded Famatinian orogeny, started with subduction ca. 490 Ma, forming a wide continental arc and zircons, U-Pb SHRIMP analyses, and whole-rock ensialic backarc basin. This heralded the approach of Laurentia to Gondwana, during which Rb-Sr and K-Ar, (2) thermo-barometry based on the Precordillera terrane separated from the southern Appalachian region, finally colliding with microprobe mineral analyses, and (3) Nd and Sr Gondwana in Silurian–Devonian time.
