    include muscovite, which is concentrated in sections of the mudstone, and subrounded to angular feldspar and quartz conglomerate. The formation is well sorted with some poorly sorted layers. The sedimentology structures include rip up clasts, and graded bedding suggesting a change in energy flow from high to low (Table 2 and Figure 3). Stop 5, located at the AJ Cycle, Moio Guzzi, and BMW stores signage, nearing the Eastern Border Fault. The Mt. Toby Conglomerate is 2000 m thick, displaying a phyllite matrix with subrounded coarse grains and rounding of the clasts. In sections of the conglomerate, the grains are coarse with subangular clasts. The Mt. Toby Conglomerate is dark grey in color and exhibits planar bedding. The formation is dipping 17° East (Table 2). Stop 6, located in Millers Falls at the Eastern Border fault zone, reveals Paleozoic metamorphic rock at the eastern end of the basin. The Fourmile gneiss is, “layered to massive biotite-feldspar gneiss and amphibolite” (Schweitzer, 2014). The Cambrian-Ordovician Fourmile Gneiss and Ordovician Partridge Formation is dipping 40° West (Table 2). Interpretations Stop 1, the Gile Mountain Formation phyllite was formed from shale during metamorphism. The clay minerals were transformed into the sheets of mica leaving the original sedimentology bedding impossible to identify at this outcrop. This outcrop reveals foliation, glossy sheen, poor bedding, and platy cleavage. Stop 2, the Sugarloaf Arkose indicates the varied…

    Past accumulation rates on continental margins grabbed my attention, because researching sedimentology with a focus of the accumulation change due to geomorphology is the piece of the puzzle overlooked by myself a lot. Now I want to participate in your REU to gain experience and having the instinct to think of sedimentology in both a macro (plate motion) and micro (flooding) timescale would be a powerful tool. Working with Rob would not be to just get a new way of thinking about my own research…

    important in other ways, one of which is that they provide the underlying theory of the logarithm function. This has applications in many fields, for example, the decibel scale in acoustics. Today, logs are no longer used in routine number crunching. But there are still good reasons for studying them. In general, the properties and applications of logarithms are used in various geological circumstances. To estimate the data in logs obtained from magnitude scales for earthquakes.…

    Introduction The Pennsylvania Jackfork Group is located in the Ouachita Mountains, occupying Arkansas and Oklahoma. Several authors interpreted the Pennsylvania Jackfork Group as a classic flysch sequence in a submarine fan setting, dominated by turbidites. Shanmugam and Moiola (1995) reveal contrary evidence for the origin of these beds. They interpret the origin of these beds to be from debris-flow, slump, and bottom-current because slabbed samples from sedimentary features appear “massive”…
