  • Geologic Map of Ruby Dam Area Southwestern Montana
    Geologic Map of Ruby Dam Area Southwestern Montana Compiled and Mapped by Zachary C. St. Jean and Deirdre R. Teeter Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology Open File Report MBMG 488 2004 This report has had preliminary reviews for conformity with Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology’s technical editorial standards. Partial support has been provided by the EDMAP component of the National Cooperative Geological Mapping Program of the U.S. Geological Survey under Contract Number 01HQAG0157. Introduction This project was funded by the EDMAP program of the U. S. Geological Survey. Field studies, including geologic mapping and a gravity and magnetic survey, were conducted during the 2001 field season. These studies were undertaken to gain a better understanding of the geologic structure of the Ruby basin in the area of Ruby Dam in southwest Montana (Figures 1 and 2). Ruby Dam, which impounds Ruby Reservoir, lies within a seismically active region known as the Intermountain Seismic Belt. Delineation and detailed mapping of the Tertiary and Quaternary sediments has helped to understand better the occurrence of Quaternary faulting in the basin. No new faults of Quaternary age were recognized within the field area. However, a fault that offsets Quaternary deposits was newly mapped by the authors in a gravel pit two miles north of the north map boundary. This fault may change previously calculated ground acceleration values at the dam site, and may indicate a greater susceptibility of the dam to seismic activity than previously thought. The geologic map in this report combines previous work that focused on the bedrock of the area with new mapping of the Tertiary and Quaternary deposits by the present authors.

In discussing The Upper Cretaceous Frontier Formation in stratigraphic relationships, we proceed from eas* to southwestern Montana was deposited in the foreland west, from shelf to foreland basin. All megafossils basin of the Cordillera in the west and shelf facies of reported here, including those in cited references, were the foreland in the east. Lateral and vertical changes identified by co-author W.A. Cobban and are shown in the lithology of the formation reflect both in tables 1 and 2. All palynomorphs, including those depositional environments and regional tectonism. in cited references, were identified by co-author D.J. The measured sections presented here form a 120-km Nichols and are shown in tables 3 and 4. In the (75-mi) transect that is about normal to the axial citation of previous studies, we have attempted to trend of the mid-Cretaceous seaway in which the include all relevant M.S. and Ph.

Further reproduction prohibited without permission STRUCTURAL GEOLOGY OF THE NORTHERN SNOWCREST RANGE, BEAVERHEAD AND MADISON COUNTIES, MONTANA Mark Kenneth Sheedlo, M.S. Western Michigan University, 1984 The Snowcrest Range was uplifted in Late Cretaceous and Early •Tertiary time as a consequence of thrusting in Precambrian basement and Phanerozoic cover rocks. The Snowcrest-Greenhorn thrust system is associated with large- scale overturned, eastward verging folds. Mean orientation of the thrust system is N.40°E., 35°N.W.. The trend of the thrust system and associated transverse faults appear to be controlled by earlier structures.
