Copyright by the Rockingham Bird Club November 1998 FOREWORD AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This book is the product and a publication of the Rockingham Bird Club. It is a compilation of many historical and more recent records of bird sightings in Rockingham County. The primary purpose of the book is to publish Rockingham County bird records that may otherwise be unavailable to the general public. We hope that these records will serve a variety of useful purposes. For example, we hope that it will be useful to new (and experienced) birders as a guide to when and where to look for certain species. Researchers may find records or leads to records of which they were unaware. The records may support or counterbalance ideas about the change in species distribution and abundance. It is primarily a reference book, but fifty years from now some persons may even find the book interesting to read. In the Records section we have listed some of the persons who contributed to this book.

  • JEFFERSONIANA Contributions from the Virginia Museum of Natural History
    JEFFERSONIANA Contributions from the Virginia Museum of Natural History Number 25 19 November 2010 Reconnaissance Mineralogy of the Eocene Mole Hill Diatreme, Rockingham County, Virginia James S. Beard ISSN 1061-1878 Virginia Museum of Natural History Scientific Publications Series The Virginia Museum of Natural History produces five scientific publication series, with each issue published as suitable material becomes available and each numbered consecutively within its series. Topics consist of original research conducted by museum staff or affiliated investigators based on the museum’s collections or on subjects relevant to the museum’s areas of interest. All are distributed to other museums and libraries through our exchange program and are available for purchase by individual consumers. Memoirs are typically larger productions: individual monographs on a single subject such as a regional survey or comprehensive treatment of an entire group. The standardized format is an 8.5 x 11 inch page with two columns. Jeffersoniana is an outlet for relatively short studies treating a single subject, allowing for expeditious publication. The standardized format is a single column on a 6 x 9 inch page. Guidebooks are publications, often semi-popular, designed to assist readers on a particular subject in a particular region. They may be produced to accompany members of an excursion or may serve as a field guide for a specific geographic area. Special Publications consist of unique contributions, usually book length, either single-subject or the proceedings of a symposium or multi-disciplinary project in which the papers reflect a common theme. Appearance and format are customized to accommodate specific needs; page size and layout varies accordingly.

Tso2 and John D. Surber2 The igneous rocks of Highland County, Virginia have fascinated geologists for over 100 years. The rocks are remarkable by how they contrast with their geological surroundings. Highland County lies within the Valley and Ridge geologic province in western Virginia (Figure 1). The province, once the site of fold- ing and thrusting of sedimentary rocks during the Paleozoic era, is now known for quiet stable geology not for igneous activity. These igneous rocks are found over a widespread area that tends to concentrate around two centers: near Trimble Knob in Highland County, and near Ugly Mountain, in southern Pendleton County, West Virginia. An exception to this pattern is an isolated oc- currence at Mole Hill in Rockingham County, Virginia. The rocks form a variety of igneous Figure 1.

Haynes* Elizabeth A. Johnson* Steven J. Whitmeyer* Department of Geology and Environmental Science, MSC 6903, 395 South High Street, James Madison University, Harrisonburg, Virginia 22807, USA ABSTRACT This two-day trip highlights new fi ndings from structural, stratigraphic, and pet- rologic research in the Valley and Ridge province of Highland, Bath, and Augusta Counties, Virginia, and Pendleton County, West Virginia. The structural emphasis on Days 1 and 2 will be at several scales, from the regional scale of folds and faults across the Valley and Ridge, to outcrop- and hand sample-scale structures. Stops will high- light deformation associated with previously unmapped faults and a second-order anticline in Silurian and Lower Devonian carbonate and siliciclastic strata, specifi cally the Silurian Tonoloway Limestone, the Silurian–Devonian Helderberg Group, and the Devonian Needmore Shale. The stops on Day 1 will also focus on facies changes in Silurian sandstones, the stratigraphy of the Keyser–Tonoloway formational con- tact, and new discoveries relevant to the depositional setting and regional facies of the McKenzie Formation in southern Highland County. The focus of the stops on Day 2 will be on the petrology and geochemistry of several exposures of the youngest known volcanic rocks (Eocene) in the eastern United States. Discussions will include the possible structural controls on emplacement of these igneous rocks, how these magmas and their xenoliths constrain the depth and temperature of the lower crust and mantle, and the tectonic environment that facilitated their emplacement.
