The Truckee, Calif., earthquake of September 12, 1966, had a magnitude of 5.4 on the Richter scale, as reported by the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey. It was felt over an area extending from San Francisco eastward to Salt Lake City and from Bakersfield northward beyond Chico, Calif. Ground breakage due to seismic shaking occurred in unconsolidated alluvium along a zone about 10 miles long that trends about N. 30° E. and extends from a point west of Prosser Reservoir, 4 miles northeast of Truckee, to Hoke Valley. The concentration of ground breakage along this zone suggests that it may be related to a subsurface northeastward-trending fault rather than to buried extensions of the northwestward-trending faults that dominate the regional geologic structure.

Other effects of the earthquake include the following: (1) Damage to Prosser and Boca Dams, (2) minor damage to several bridges on Interstate Highway 80, (3) several earthquake-generated slumps or landslides on Interstate Highway 80 between Boca Dam and the California-Nevada boundary, (4) damage to the caretaker's house at Boca Dam and a lumber shed at Loyalton, (5) damage by falling rocks to the Farad powerhouse, to the wooden flume which supplies water to the powerhouse, and to the Southern Pacific Lines in Truckee Canyon, (6) minor damage to water wells and water distribution systems, particularly at Truckee, and (7) rejuvenation of springs throughout the Truckee-Russel Valley area.

Some of the normal faults are the result of caldera collapse. The principal normal faults trend northerly west: of Delamar, Nev., and form north-trending basins and ranges. Farther east the principal faults trend northwesterly, and form a moderately rugged highland rather than distinct basins and ranges. \r\n\r\nThe uppermost Precambrian-Paleozoic strata thin markedly eastward across the region.

The northwestern and western parts of the area are part of the Snake River lava plain. The central part of the area is occupied by alluvial plains of the Snake, Teton, and Falls Rivers, and Henrys Fork. The southeastern part of the area is a bench (Rexburg Bench), chiefly on silicic and basaltic volcanic rocks, which rises gradually to mountain peaks southeast of the area. The basalt, and the sand and gravel under the alluvial plains are good aquifers and yield large amounts of water with small drawdowns. The silicic volcanic rocks and the interbedded ash, pyroclastics, and sedimentary deposits generally yield much less water than the basalt and alluvium. The regional water table slopes southward beneath the basalt and alluvial plains. Seepage from stream channels and irrigated tracts has resulted in an extensive body of ground water perched above the regional water table. The perched water in part moves vertically down to the regional water table and in part laterally to the streams. Ground water beneath the Rexburg Bench moves generally northwestward to join the regional ground-water body beneath the alluvial plain. The regional water table is below the level of the streams in the area and ground water in the main aquifer, therefore is not tributary to the streams. Recharge to the regional water table is estimated to average 725,000 acre-feet annually. Pumping from the regional ground-water reservoir for irrigation or other uses would have no effect on streamflow or surface-water rights within the study area. However, depletion of the underflow would eventually reduce the inflow to American Falls Reservoir unless the depletion was offset by additional recharge. Total withdrawals of ground water for irrigation in 1962 were estimated to be 25,000 acre-feet and caused no significant decline in the water table. In the Ashton area surface-water irrigation has cause water to be perched in basalt above the silicic volcanic rocks and much of this perched water contributed to streamflow. The flow of Henrys Fork would be decreased by the amount of pumped ground water consumed by crops. Ground-water prospects for irrigation in the Falls River area are not encouraging.","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","doi":"10.3133/ofr6771","collaboration":"Prepared in cooperation with the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation and Idaho Department of Reclamation","usgsCitation":"Crosthwaite, E., Mundorff, M., and Walker, E., 1967, Ground-water aspects of the lower Henrys Fork region, Idaho: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 67-71, iii, 43 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr6771.","productDescription":"iii, 43 p.","numberOfPages":"46","costCenters":[{"id":343,"text":"Idaho Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":177408,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1967/0071/report-thumb.jpg"},{"id":86960,"rank":300,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1967/0071/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}}],"country":"United States","state":"Idaho","otherGeospatial":"Henry Fork Region","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -117.0,42.0 ], [ -117.0,49.0 ], [ -111.0,49.0 ], [ -111.0,42.0 ], [ -117.0,42.0 ] ] ] } } ] }","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4ab0e4b07f02db66d42a","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Crosthwaite, E.J.","contributorId":6525,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Crosthwaite","given":"E.J.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":245569,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Mundorff, M.J.","contributorId":48158,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Mundorff","given":"M.J.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":245570,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Walker, E.H.","contributorId":104088,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Walker","given":"E.H.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":245571,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}} ,{"id":68429,"text":"ha246 - 1967 - Floods at Easton, Pennsylvania-Phillipsburg, New Jersey","interactions":[{"subject":{"id":52464,"text":"ofr6557 - 1965 - Extent and frequency of floods in the vicinity of Easton, Pennsylvania-Phillipsburg, New Jersey","indexId":"ofr6557","publicationYear":"1965","noYear":false,"title":"Extent and frequency of floods in the vicinity of Easton, Pennsylvania-Phillipsburg, New Jersey"},"predicate":"SUPERSEDED_BY","object":{"id":68429,"text":"ha246 - 1967 - Floods at Easton, Pennsylvania-Phillipsburg, New Jersey","indexId":"ha246","publicationYear":"1967","noYear":false,"title":"Floods at Easton, Pennsylvania-Phillipsburg, New Jersey"},"id":1}],"lastModifiedDate":"2023-03-07T22:04:51.913637","indexId":"ha246","displayToPublicDate":"1994-01-01T00:00:00","publicationYear":"1967","noYear":false,"publicationType":{"id":18,"text":"Report"},"publicationSubtype":{"id":5,"text":"USGS Numbered Series"},"seriesTitle":{"id":318,"text":"Hydrologic Atlas","code":"HA","active":false,"publicationSubtype":{"id":5}},"seriesNumber":"246","title":"Floods at Easton, Pennsylvania-Phillipsburg, New Jersey","docAbstract":"

The Two Rivers watershed includes two physiographic areas a lake plain and a till plain – within its 1,232 square miles.

\n

It lies in parts of Kittson and Roseau counties and includes the drainage basins of the Two Rivers and Joe River. The flat lake plain which extends 15 to 20 miles east of the Red River of the North is extensively cultivated for small grains and sugar beets. The gently undulating till plain is cultivated largely for small grains and hay. The areas not under cultivation support a forest of poplar with some maple and oak. Oak is the predominate tree on the sandy ridges. The large peat areas are covered with brush and marsh grasslands. Outdoor recreational facilities in the watershed consist principally of the Lake Bronson Park, water-fowl hunting in the extensive marshlands, and deer and small game hunting in the forested areas.

County, Nebraska","docAbstract":"

The sand and gravel deposits of Quaternary age constitute the most important ground-water reservoir and are the source of nearly all the water pumped from wells in the area. An estimated 3.5 million acre-feet for good quality water is stored in these deposits and an additional 1.5 million acre-feet is stored in the underlying Dakota Sandstone. Even larger quantities are stored at greater depths in the Paleozoic dolomites and sandstones, but the water is of poorer quality. 

Pumpage for irrigation since 1956 is estimated to have ranged from about 2,500 acre-feet (1962) to about 6,000 acre-feet (1957). The town of Wahoo annually pumps about 460 acre-feet, and other towns pump an estimated total of 180 acre-feet. In 1963 the City of Lincoln pumped 27,000 acre-feet from its well field alongside the Platte River in the southeast corner of the area; since then pumpage has increased and probably is likely to continue to do so. Pumping at Lincoln city well field induces recharge from Platte River.

The quantity of ground water pumped to date is very small compared to the amount of water stored in the rocks. Furthermore, most of the ground water withdrawn has been replaced by infiltrating precipitation and by influent seepage from the Platte River. The large quantity of ground water in storage in addition to the flow of the Platte River indicates that the water resources of the area, if managed properly, can be developed much more extensively without appreciably depleting the supply.

Foraminifera and Mollusca collected from the phosphatic Pungo River Formation and the overlying Yorktown Formation in eastern North Carolina were analyzed and interpreted for stratigraphic and environmental significance in order to determine optimum depositional sites for primary phosphorite. The Mollusca and benthonic foraminifera of the Pungo River Formation correlate with those of the Calvert Formation of Maryland, and the planktonic foraminifera in both of these formations correlate with the Globigerinatella insueta zone of Trinidad, postulated as late Aquitanian age. The paleoenvironment of the phosphorite deposition, interpreted primarily from the benthonic foraminifera, was of cool-temperate waters, ranging in depth from 100 to 200 m in the phosphatic beds to less than 70 m in the upper calcareous beds where phosphate is scarce. Phosphorite deposition occurred in an oceanic embayment located south of the Fort Monroe high in southern Virginia and north of a positive feature whose axis lies in the vicinity of New Bern, North Carolina. Cool-temperate waters in this area during Pungo River time indicate that circulation patterns of ocean currents and the resultant faunal provinces were not the same as those at present and later in the Miocene. In the Pungo River and its time equivalents of the Atlantic Coastal Plain, the presence of thick diatomaceous clay units, volcanic ash beds, shards, attapulgite clays, and other minerals probably derived from volcanic rocks, suggests a volcanic source somewhere off the coast during the Miocene. The Yorktown unconformably overlies the Pungo River Formation. The unconformity is marked by channels into the Pungo River, filled with phosphatic pebbles, vertebrate bones, and lower York-town molluscs and microfauna. The coarse-grained phosphatic material is derived from the underlying fine-grained primary phosphorite in the Pungo River and is abundant only in the lower part of the Yorktown Formation. Deposition of the lower part of the Yorktown occurred in waters about 100 m deep. The waters gradually became more shallow as deposition of the formation continued until depths of less than 15 m, and probable brackish conditions, were reached as the uppermost part of the formation was deposited. Temperature of the waters, cool-temperate during lower Yorktown deposition, became warm-temperate to subtropical in later Yorktown time. The faunal patterns suggest that circulation patterns reached their present state during late Yorktown time.

Several well-exposed and little-deformed Belt Supergroup sections have been studied in the southern Lewis and Clark Range. In the area studied, the Belt thins eastward or northeastward due both to primary sedimentation and to pre-Middle Cambrian erosion. These rocks can now be more precisely correlated with the well-known sections near Bonner, Helena, and Glacier National Park. In the western part of the area, the Missoula Group is thickest and lithologically intermediate between the sections at Bonner and Marias Pass. Formation names from these two sections are applied in the southern Lewis and Clark Range. The thin Belt sequence in the eastern part of the area includes the lower part of the Missoula Group and older formations that may be traced southward into the Helena, Empire, and Spokane Formations of the Helena area. Consequently, the Helena Dolomite of the Helena area, the Siyeh Formation of the Marias Pass area, and the \"Newland Limestone\" of the Bonner area are probably lateral equivalents.

Recently determined lead-alpha and potassium-argon ages from northern southeastern Alaska indicate major plutonic events in the Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Tertiary; in contrast, previous studies suggested that only one complex Jurassic and Cretaceous event occurred. The ages presented in this paper indicate the following Mesozoic and Tertiary plutonic events: Middle or Late Jurassic (144–164 m.y.); Early Cretaceous (103–117 m.y.); Eocene (42–48 m.y.); and Oligocene to Miocene (24–31 m.y.). The present data show no distinctive a real pattern for the Mesozoic plutons, but those of known Tertiary age are restricted to Baranof and Kruzof islands, a distribution that suggests a belt of Tertiary plutonism along the margin of the Pacific Ocean.

Stratigraphic evidence and radiometric ages indicate that Baranof Island and possibly Chichagof Island have been uplifted several kilometers since Miocene time, whereas Admiralty Island to the east appears to have been relatively stable since Paleocene time. This movement apparently took place on the north-striking Chatham Strait fault, which separates the islands, and probably also had a large right-lateral component. Northwest-striking faults in Chichagof and Baranof islands were probably active during at least part of the movement on the Chatham Strait fault. Movement on one of the northwest-striking faults, the Patterson Bay fault of Baranof Island, took place some time between the Eocene and the Miocene and produced a 5-km, right-lateral separation.

The inferred uplift of Baranof Island relative to Admiralty Island is based on the present-day exposure on Baranof Island of mesozonal Tertiary plutons, which were probably intruded at a depth of several kilometers, contrasted with the present-day exposure on Admiralty Island of continental sedimentary and volcanic rocks that were being deposited near sea level during the Tertiary. The uplift of the Baranof Island plutons to the surface in post-Miocene time contrasts sharply with the stable or weakly negative tectonic conditions that have prevailed on Admiralty Island since the Paleocene.

Betweeen the northwest-trending Sierra Nevada and the north-northeast-trending ranges that characterize most of the Great Basin section of the Basin and Range province is a belt of confused and divergent topographic forms, which is approximately 50 miles wide and 300 miles long. Along the eastern part of this belt is a topographically low lineament called the Walker Lane.

A number of the ranges along the belt have an arcuate form which is controlled by the structure of rocks that are mainly of pre-Cretaceous age; locally, in the southern part of the belt, rocks as young as early Miocene show the arcuate form. The strike of tilted beds, fold axes, and in places elongate plutons, parallels the trend of the arcuate ranges, herein called “oroflexes”—defined as mountain ranges with arcuate trends that result from tectonic bending of the crust.

The gross structural pattern of pre-middle Miocene rocks along the belt is a series of sigmoidal bends that suggest gigantic dextral drag. The sigmoidal bends define the oroflexes, facies boundaries, and structural trend lines. These features are cut in places by at least three, and probably five, major northwest-trending faults having right-lateral separations of many miles. Along the strike, the two largest faults seem to die out and the movement is believed to be taken up by bending.

The indicated total horizontal displacement by bending and faulting along the belt is 80–120 miles, the Great Basin having moved southeastward relative to the Sierra Nevada. This movement is most likely restricted to the crust, which at some depth is thought to have moved freely over deeper material —either a deeper segment of the crust or the mantle.

Available evidence permits the interpretation that the deformation began possibly as early as late Early Jurassic and that the same movement pattern has prevailed ever since. The bending and major strike-slip faulting must have been completed by early or middle Miocene time but much of it may have taken place as long ago as the Jurassic. More recent movements have been restricted to faulting.

The Flattery Rocks, Quillayute Needles, and Copalis National Wildlife Refuges lie off the Pacific coast of the Olympic Peninsula between Cape Flattery and Grays Harbor. They have a total land area of 247 acres and consists of numerous small islands, sea stacks and rocks that rise above a wave-cut platform. The refuges are in a belt of intensely folded and faulted marine sedimentary and volcanic rocks of early Eocene to Pliocene age. Pleistocene glaciofluvial deposits blanket the Tertiary strata along this coastal belt. The disturbed belt borders the eastern margin of a depositional basin on the continental shelf that probably contains a thick sequence of late Tertiary rocks.

The continued drought in northeastern New Jersey through the summer of 1966 with its attendant water-supply problems resulted in an extension of the drought-disaster test-drilling program originally requested by the Office of Emergency Planning on August 30, 1965. Authorization to continue test drilling was fiven by the Office of Emergency Planning on September 26, 1966, with the stipulation that all field work be complete by January 31, 1977. Contractural costs were paid by the Office of Emergency Planning, whereas personnel costs were shared by the U.S. Geological Survey and the New Jersey Department of Conservation and Economic Development, Division of Water Policy and Supply.

The work undertaken in 1965 by the Geological Survey was \"...to preform the necessary drilling and testing of wells to identify the extent and nature of a reserve ground-water source in the vicinity of the Passaic River near the northern New Jersey metropolitan area.\" Results of this first phase were made available in the fall of 1966 in Water Resources Circular 16 of the New Jersey Department of Conservation and Economic Development. Three of the five areas tested (figure 1)--two in Parsippany-Troy Hills Township (areas 2 and 4) and one in East Hanover Township (area 1), Morris County--proved capable of providing an aggregate sustained yield of 7.5 million gallons daily (mgd) from wells constructed in sand and gravel deposits. Because significant supplies of ground water for emergency use were located in the first phase of the exploratory test-drilling program, it was though desirable to extend the originally planned studies so as to obtain maximum practicable information on emergency supplies.

During this second phase of the investigation, drilling was conducted in 16 sites in Chatham, Madison, and Florham Park Boroughs and in Hanover and East Hanover Townships, Morris County. (See figure 2.) The drilling in Hanover and East Hanover Townships, and part of the drilling done in Florham Park was to explore the availability of large undeveloped ground-water supplies. Drilling in Chatham, Madison, and Florham Park Boroughs was done primarily to determine the extent and continuity of buried valley-fill aquifers, so that a full evaluation of the effects of pumpage from other areas on these already heavily pumped areas could be made. In addition, it was anticipated that the drilling could help in defining the feasibility of artificial recharge of the heavily pumped areas and in the determination of the prospective method of recharge and points of emplacement.

Arrangements for easements with landowners, preparation of specifications for well drilling and seismic work, and supervision of well drilling and seismic contracts were all performed by the New Jersey District, Water Resources Division of the Geological Survey.

Prior to the test drilling, seismic exploration under contract with Alpine Geophysical Associates of Norwood, N. J. was conducted at five locations in the Chatham-Madison-Florham Park area and at one place in Parsippany-Troy Hills Township. The seismic work was done to determine the most favorable location for a test well at several potential test-well sites and to help in the interpretation of subsurface geology between test sites.

Contracts for the drilling of the test holes were awarded during November and drilling commences on November 30. Kaye Well drilling, Inc. of Jackson, N. J. was the recipient of a contract for eight of the test holes, and a second contract was awarded to Rinbrand Well Drilling Co., Inc. of Glen Rock, N. J.--also for eight test holes.

Acknowledgment is due to the many public officials of Chatham, Madison, Florham Park, Morristown, and East Hanover Township as well as officials of the Braidburn Corporation and Esso Research and Engineering Co., who cooperated by making their lands available for exploration.

This study of the geometry of limestone solution is based on the following conditions: (1) the limestone is impermeable but contains and transmits water in joints, fractures, bedding‐plane partings, and solution channels; (2) at depth, the limestone aquifer is underlain by impermeable rock; (3) ground water in the limestone is under water‐table conditions; (4) recharge to the limestone is by infiltration of precipitation through the overlying rock to the zone of saturation; (5) discharge from the aquifer is by seeps and springs; and (6) ground water dissolves the limestone through which it flows, continuously modifying the flow pattern and the hydrologic properties of the medium. These conditions commonly are found in limestone terranes in the eastern and central United States. An electrical analog was constructed conforming to this description of the ground‐water flow system and has been used to define the pattern, velocity, and density of ground‐water flow and the relative length of time of contact of water with the aquifer. Successive models are used to illustrate progressive limestone solution and changes in ground‐water flow in the aquifer. The initial analog indicates a strongly convex water table with the greatest density of flow at shallow depths beneath the water table near the point of discharge. Successive models indicate greater concentration of flow near and on the level of ground‐water discharge, an overall lowering of the water table, and a pronounced flattening of the water table near the discharge point. Results of the analog study support the following conclusions: (1) The most active zone of solution is at shallow depths beneath the water table and near the point of ground‐water discharge. Consequently, the size of channels generally decreases with depth and increases with proximity to the point of ground‐water discharge.

The Poker Jim Ridge and Fort Warner areas, which are candidate areas for inclusion in the National Wilderness Preservation System, are in the Hart Mountain National Antelope Refuge in east-central Lake County, south-central Oregon. The two areas form part of an upraised and tilted fault block--a structural element that is typical of the northern part of the Great Basin province. Rocks in the two areas are principally volcanic in origin. They have been faulted, uplifted, and tilted eastward, the older rocks having been more strongly deformed than the younger ones.

Drifts of two pre-Olympia glaciations separated by nonglacial sediments are widespread in the central Puget Lowland of western Washington. The Double Bluff Drift (older) and Possession Drift represent advances of the Puget lobe of the Cordilleran ice sheet more than 40,000 years ago. The nonglacial Whidbey Formation between the drifts was formed in streams and lakes. During its deposition, climate was initially cool and moist, as inferred from pollen in peat beds, but subsequently it became much like that of the present in the lowland. The Possession Drift is tentatively correlated with glacial deposits of Salmon Springs age in the southern part of the lowland. The Whidbey Formation may correlate with nonglacial deposits between two Salmon Springs Drifts or with the Puyallup Formation.

The Devonian System, represented predominantly by shallow-water marine carbonate, is widespread in Montana, Wyoming, eastern Idaho, North Dakota, South Dakota, and northwestern Nebraska. It comprises cratonic rocks in the east and miogeosynclinal rocks in the west.

\n

The cratonic rocks thicken generally northward from their southern limit in Wyoming across a broad shelf that occupies most of Wyoming and Montana. In northern Montana, they are as much as 1,250 feet thick. Cratonic rocks also thicken eastward from areas of Early Mississippian erosional thinning in central and eastern Montana to as much as 2,000 feet in the intracratonic Williston basin centered in northwestern North Dakota.

\n

The miogeosynclinal rocks, which moved eastward on low-angle thrust faults, abut against cratonic rocks along a north-trending disturbed belt in western Wyoming, western Montana and eastern Idaho. The miogeosynclinal rocks thicken abruptly westward from 1,000 feet near this belt to about 3,000 feet near the east edge of the Idaho batholith. Farther west they have been buried beneath younger rocks, altered by the batholith, or eroded.

\n

Five subdivisions of the Devonian System are treated separately:

\n

1. Upper Lower Devonian (Coblenzian) marginal and nearshore marine carbonate rocks and related continental and estuarine discontinuous sinkhole and channel-fill deposits.

\n

2. Upper Middle Devonian (Givetian) carbonate rocks that contain a 525-foot-thick evaporitic sequence in the Williston basin.

\n

3. Lower Upper Devonian (Frasnian, toI) cyclically deposited carbonate rocks that include thick beds of dolarenite and dolomitized calcarenite on the west.

\n

4. Upper Upper Devonian (Famennian, toII-IV) evaporitic rocks overlain by fossilferous open-marine shale and limestone.

\n

5. Undivided uppermost Devonian (Famennian, to V-VI) and lowermost Mississippian (Tournaisian, cuI-lower cuIIα) carbonaceous and clastic rocks deposited in six shallow basins interspersed among areas uplifted during the penecontemporaneous Antler orogeny.

The structural framework that controlled Devonian deposition consisted of, from west to east: (1) a eugeosynclinal area in northern California and western Nevada; (2) a miogeosynclinal area in southeastern California, eastern Nevada, and western Utah; and (3) a cratonic area in Arizona, eastern Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, and western Texas, east of a northeast-trending hinge line (Wasatch line).

\n

The eugeosyncline contains a fragmentary record of Middle Devonian rocks at least 4,000 feet thick characterized by thin-bedded chert, siliceous mudstone, and some limestone and volcanic rocks. The original thickness, however, probably exceeded 6,000 feet and probably included Lower and Upper Devonian rocks. The miogeosyncline contains Lower, Middle, and Upper Devonian rocks as much as 6,000 feet thick characterized by thick units of dolomite and limestone and some local interbeds of sandstone. A transitional zone perhaps 50 miles wide separates the eugeosynclinal and miogeosynclinal facies. The craton contains mostly Upper Devonian rocks, generally less than 1,000 feet thick, characterized by dolomite and limestone and local interbeds of sandstone and mudstone.

\n

Widespread crustal movements occurred during Late Devonian time. The Antler orogeny in Nevada initiated a culm facies in the geosyncline. Eugeosynclinal and transitional rocks including those of Devonian age were uplifted to form the Antler orogenic belt, and then were thrust eastward over autochthonous miogeosynclinal rocks in latest Devonian or earliest Mississippian time. Folding and faulting, and subsequent erosion on local uplifts, produced clastic deposits of Late Devonian age in Utah and southwestern Colorado.

\n

Devonian rocks in many parts of the geosynclinal area have been moved since Devonian time by large-scale, generally eastward thrusting, oroflexural bending and strike-slip faulting.

\n

Four major subdivisions of the Devonian System and related rocks are treated separately:

\n

1) Lower Devonian (Gedinnian, Siegenian, Emsian) and related Upper Silurian (Ludlovian) rocks.

\n

2) Middle Devonian (Eifelian and Givetian) rocks.

\n

3) Lower Upper Devonian (Frasnian, to I) rocks.

\n

4) Upper Upper Devonian (Famennian, to II-VI) and related lowermost Mississippian (Tournaisian, cu I) rocks.

Although Devonian rocks in the Appalachians have been studied for more than 150 years, they are poorly known in most of the area. The nearly complete Devonian sequence in New York has been established as the North American standard of reference.

\n

The structural belt that includes unmetamorphosed Devonian geosynclinal strata is bonded on the southeast and east by metamorphic and igneous rocks of the Blue Ridge and Piedmont provinces. Some meta-sedimentary and igneous rocks of the Piedmont may be Devonian, but the only rocks known to be of this age southeast of the structural belt are mudstones and siltstones in the subsurface of northwest Florida and adjacent Georgia.

\n

The three oldest stages of the Devonian in the Appalachian area — Helderberg, Deerpark, and Onesquethaw— consist (in ascending order) of carbonate, clastic, and carbonate rocks across an increasingly broad area. The rock units are thin, and facies relations are complex. Most units appear to have accumulated on a relatively stable base in medium- to high-energy environments.

\n

Significant subsidence began in Onesquethaw time and continued into the Carboniferous. Concurrently uplifted source areas to the east shed vast amounts of detritus, most of which was trapped in the trough. Middle and Upper Devonian strata are dominantly shallow-marine, fine-grained clastic rocks. These reach a maximum thickness of over 11,000 feet in eastern Pennsylvania.

\n

Middle Devonian terrestrial rocks occur locally on the east side of the structural belt. By the close of the Devonian they had spread widely over the northern half of the geosyncline.

\n

On the craton, the Middle and Upper Devonian rocks are limestones and shales, but units are thin and discontinuous except for black shale, which, over broad areas, is the latest Devonian deposit. Deposition of this shale persisted into post-Devonian times.

The northern part of the Ten Mile and Taunton River basins is an area of about 195 square miles within Norfolk, Plymouth, and Bristol Counties in southeastern Massachusetts. The northern boundary of the area (plate 1) is the drainage divide separating these basins from that of the Charles, Neponset, and Weymouth River basins. The western boundary is, for the most part, the divide separating the basins from the Blackstone River basin. The eastern boundary is at the edge of the Brockton-Pembroke area (Petersen, 1962; Petersen and Shaw, 1961). The southern boundary in Seekonk is the northern limit of the East Providence quadrangle, for which a ground-water map was prepared by Allen and Gorman (1959); eastward, the southern boundaries of the city of Attleboro and the towns of Norton, Easton, and West Bridgewater form the southern boundary of the area.

This report is one of two prepared by the Geological Survey for the Water Resources Commission. The principal purpose of this report is to make available the basic data on which the other, a map showing availability of ground water, is based. This basic-data report also can be used by engineers, planners, and others interested in or responsible for water-resources planning to determine the materials to be encountered (tables 3 and 4) and the yields which may be obtained from wells and test holes (tables 1 and 2) in the stratified sand and gravel that are the principal source of ground water and in bedrock. Partial and complete chemical analyses (tables 7 and 8) of these test holes and of some privately-owned wells provide information on the general quality of the water for domestic and other uses. A tabulation of existing municipal supplies, their capacity, production (table 5), and chemical quality of the water (table 6) may be used for regional planning purposes. Water-level measurements (figure 1) can be used to determine the annual fluctuations of the water table in certain types of materials. Seismic work (table 9) in the Canoe River valley, Norton, and test drilling with a power augur (tables 2 and 4) were done for the Geological Survey as  part of the investigation.

Rocks of Early Devonian age are widely but sporadically distributed in the eastern half of North America and coral studies are based on a very incomplete record. Middle Devonian rocks are thicker and cover a greater area.

\n


Both Early and Middle Devonian corals are more similar to western European species than they are to presumably contemporary forms from western North America, although some of the eastern faunas contain a significant portion of endemic genera. The general outline of an eastern province was inherited from the Silurian, but disappeared by Late Devonian time when the worldwide Frasnian fauna invaded the area.

\n


A reef fauna of middle Helderberg age is known from the northeast part of the province and is composed of both endemic and widespread genera. Approximately contemporaneous off-reef deposits have few species, but these are common in argillaceous rocks of a somewhat larger area.

\n


Rocks of middle Onesquethaw (Schoharie) age, although thin and discintinuous, include the largest and most widespread Early-Devonian coral fauna. Endemic genera are numerous but other elements are widespread and some species are apparently ancestral to species in the succeeding Onondaga fauna.

\n


The late Onesquethaw (Onondaga) faunas are the largest and most widely distributed of all those under review. Succeeding faunas of the Cazenovia, Tioughnioga and Taghanic Stage (Hamilton-Tully sequence) are less widespread and are clearly derivatives of the late Onesquethaw fauna. The Taghanic fauna is the latest Middle Devonian rugose coral fauna in the area
