Attitude of Beds Attitude: A general term for the orientation of a line or plane. Attitude refers to the three dimensional orientation of planar and linear.

Joint may be defined as divisional planes or surfaces that divide rocks, and along which there has been no visible movement parallel to the plane or surface.

Mecca Hills’ Painted Canyon GLG455/598 Advanced Field Geology Mecca Hills’ Painted Canyon Structural geology of deformed sedimentary and basement rocks within the San Andreas Fault zone

View southeast over the Mecca Hills

Mecca Hills

Painted Canyon

Tent camping on the beach: $7/night x 2 camps =$28/11 people ~ $3 each ????

Logistics Depart Fwing loading dock at 4 pm on Friday. Forecast from weather.com Logistics Depart Fwing loading dock at 4 pm on Friday. Return early evening on Sunday night Bring camping gear and field gear We will provide kitchen system Organize food groups (if desired) and purchase items before Friday

Nominal mapping area: transect 6.2 km long

Mapping exercise: Produce a geologic map along this transect which is mostly perpendicular to the major structures. -Many strike and dips of faults and bedding plotted on the map -Major stratigraphic contacts and basement contacts -Rock descriptions

Generalized stratigraphy in the Mecca Hills Basement: Highly sheared gneiss and granite of the Chuckawalla complex; Orocopia Schist

Unconformity or fault along Box Canyon

Nice folds and faults in Painted Canyon

Sedimentary structures in Plio-Pleistocene units

Some basement rocks are involved in the deformation

Basic steps in the preparation of a geologic cross section: Choose appropriate line of section Produce topographic profile along it. Transfer marker attitudes (contacts and within units) Correct for apparent dip in line of section (if line <75 degrees from strike) Draw units; maintain stratigraphic thickness where possible; use deformation patterns observed from field to guide interpretation. Continue lines into air and below ground Davis and Reynolds, 2000
