    Determining the Geometry and Former Extent of the North Mountain Thrust from Fluid Inclusion and Microstructural Analysis

    DETERMINING THE GEOMETRY AND FORMER EXTENT OF THE NORTH MOUNTAIN THRUST FROM FLUID INCLUSION AND MICROSTRUCTURAL ANALYSES Megan Castles A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE May 2010 Committee: Charles Onasch, Advisor James Evans John Farver ii ABSTRACT Charles Onasch, Advisor Fluid inclusion microthermometry, microstructural analysis, and vitrinite reflectance measurements were used to determine pressure and temperature conditions in several Paleozoic rock units in the Valley and Ridge province in order to determine the former extent and geometry of the North Mountain thrust sheet. Overburden thicknesses determined for the Devonian Hampshire/Catskill Formation, Mississippian Pocono Sandstone, and Pennsylvanian Pottsville Sandstone were found to be 5.5-6.0, 4.5-10.5, and 4.8-8.0 km, respectively. Differences in salinity and CH4 content between the Hampshire/Catskill Formation and the Pocono Sandstone and Pottsville Formation indicate that the Hampshire/Catskill Formation was affected by fluids from a different source than the younger units. These fluids were also cooler than those in overlying units, which explains why the older Hampshire/Catskill Formation yielded lower overburden thicknesses. All units experienced considerably greater overburdens than can be explained stratigraphically, which supports the model of Evans (1989) that the North Mountain thrust once extended over these rocks so that the large overburdens are of tectonic origin. iii This paper is dedicated to my family and loved ones. Especially my parents Kevin and Mary Castles who have always had faith in my abilities and pride in my accomplishments, I could not have completed this project without their love and support.

    The Cacapon Settlement: 1749-1800 31

    THE CACAPON SETTLEMENT: 1749-1800 31 THE CACAPON SETTLEMENT: 1749-1800 31 5 THE CACAPON SETTLEMENT: 1749-1800 The existence of a settlement of Brethren families in the Cacapon River Valley of eastern Hampshire County in present day West Virginia has been unknown and uninvestigated until the present time. That a congregation of Brethren existed there in colonial times cannot now be denied, for sufficient evidence has been accumulated to reveal its presence at least by the 1760s and perhaps earlier. Because at this early date, Brethren churches and ministers did not keep records, details of this church cannot be recovered. At most, contemporary researchers can attempt to identify the families which have the highest probability of being of Brethren affiliation. Even this is difficult due to lack of time and resources. The research program for many of these families is incomplete, and this chapter is offered tentatively as a basis for additional research. Some attempted identifications will likely be incorrect. As work went forward on the Brethren settlements in the western and southern parts of old Hampshire County, it became clear that many families in the South Branch, Beaver Run and Pine churches had relatives who had lived in the Cacapon River Valley. Numerous families had moved from that valley to the western part of the county, and intermarriages were also evident. Land records revealed a large number of family names which were common on the South Branch, Patterson Creek, Beaver Run and Mill Creek areas. In many instances, the names appeared first on the Cacapon and later in the western part of the county.

  • Fish Consumption Advisories Available for 2010

    Fish Consumption Advisories Available for 2010

    Fish Consumption Advisories Available for 2010 The West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources (DHHR) has updated the West Virginia Sport Fish Consumption Advisory for 2010. West Virginia DHHR, through an interagency agreement, partners with the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and the Division of Natural Resources (DNR) to develop consumption advisories for fish caught in West Virginia. Fish consumption advisories are reviewed annually and help West Virginia anglers make educated choices about eating the fish they catch. Certain West Virginia sport fish have been found to have low levels of chemicals like polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), mercury, selenium and dioxin. To protect the good health of West Virginians, the West Virginia DHHR offers an advisory for how often these fish can be safely eaten. An advisory is advice, and should not be viewed as law or regulation. It is intended to help anglers and their families make educated choices about: where to fish, what types of fish to eat, how to limit the amount and frequency of fish eaten, and how to prepare and cook fish to reduce contaminants. This advisory covers only sport fish caught in West Virginia waters. Safety regulations and advisories for fish in the market place are the responsibility of the Federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA). For more information you can contact the FDA at: http://www.fda.gov/Food/ResourcesForYou/Consumers/ucm110591.htm The following updated 2010 advisory recommendation is the result of reviewing new and recent fish tissue data. Data collected from lakes and rivers in West Virginia show that a general statewide advisory of sport‐caught fish is appropriate.
