SURFICIAL UNIT

Jd

SEDIMENTARY ROCKS Trcc - conglomerate: reddish-brown to dark brown, irregularly bedded, poorly sorted, cobble to boulder conglomerate. Muscovite is rare to absent in the very coarse-grained to gravelly matrix. An arbitrary cut-off of greater than 50 percent conglomerate distinguishes this unit from the Trcs/c facies. Clasts are chiefly miscellaneous felsic and intermediate metavolcanic rocks, quartz, epidote, bluish- gray quartz crystal tuff, muscovite schist, and rare meta-granitic material. Maximum clast diameters are in excess of 2 m along Haleys Branch east of the RDU airport.

Trcs/c - sandstone with interbedded conglomerate: reddish-brown to dark brown, irregularly bedded, poorly sorted, coarse-grained to pebbly, muddy lithic sandstones with interbedded pebble to cobble conglomerate. Muscovite is rare to absent in the matrix. Well-defined conglomerate beds distinguish this unit from conglomerate basal lags of Trcs. An arbitrary cut-off of less than 50 percent conglomerate distinguishes this unit from the Trcc conglomerate facies. Conglomerate beds are channel-shaped and scour into the underlying sandstone beds. Unit grades eastward into Trcc.

Trcs/si2

Trcs - interbedded sandstone and pebbly sandstone: reddish-brown to dark brown, irregularly bedded to massive, poorly to moderately sorted, medium- to coarse-grained, muddy lithic arkoses, with occasional, matrix-supported granules and pebbles or as 1-5 cm thick basal layers. Muscovite is common to absent. Occasional bioturbation is usually surrounded by greenish-blue to gray reduction halos. Beds are tabular, 1-3 meters thick, with good lateral continuity. Unit grades eastward into Trcs/c.

Trcs

Trcs/si2 - sandstone with interbedded siltstone: Cyclical depositional sequences of whitish-yellow to grayish-pink to pale red, coarse- to very coarse-grained, trough cross-bedded lithic arkose that fines upward through yellow to reddish-brown, mediumto fine-grained sandstone, to reddish-brown, burrowed and rooted siltstone. Bioturbation is usually surrounded by greenish-blue to gray reduction halos. Coarse-grained portions contain abundant muscovite, and basal gravel lags consist of clasts of quartz, bluish-gray quartz crystal tuff, and mudstone rip-ups.

Jd - diabase dikes and sills: Steeply dipping to vertical dikes and horizontal to shallowdipping sills of gray to bluish-black, fine- to coarse-grained, locally porphyritic plagioclase diabase, that may be olivine-bearing. Solid lines where observed, dashed where inferred, and dotted where concealed. Red circles indicate areas of abundant float inferred to be near original location.
