-Petrographic, Geochemical, and Structural Analysis of the LaFarge Rock Quarry, Ball Ground, Georgia.-

Abstract: The Keithsburg facies of the post-Cambrian Mission Mountain Formation is an impure, blue marble of uncertain affinity. Workers generally interpret the marble to be a carbonate turbidite unit. Siliciclastic turbidites are common within the Mission Mountain and the Keithsburg is considered a carbonate equivalent to these. The Keithsburg is an ideal unit for structural studies because the plastic nature of the marble allowed many outcrop-scale folds to form during deformation. The current study examines exposures of the Keithsburg located in the LaFarge Rock Quarry in Ball Ground, Georgia. Samples were collected from several locations around the property. Petrographic analysis of thin sections, using an Olympus CX31 Optical Scope, has shown the following modes: calcite 55%, quartz 19%, muscovite 6%, biotite 14%, actinolite 2%, and plagioclase feldspar 2%. There are trace amounts, all less than 1%, of titanite (sphene), fluorite, magnetite, pyrite, chlorite, clinozoisite, tremolite, and hematite. Geochemical analysis is ongoing.

* Awarded Best Poster in the Sciences at the Undergraduate Research Symposium at Valdosta State University.

* Received highest marks in program on final thesis paper, defense, and presentation.
