The Saltville thrust: investigation of a regional thrust fault in a foreland fold and thrust belt
… type of deformation are not well understood. The Saltville thrust, a major overthrust in the southern Appalachians, was investigated with respect to deformation mechanics. Thrust termination occurs in the overturned, northwest facing Sinking Creek anticline, at the juncture between the southern …

Field based study of thrust faults in the Appalachian Valley and Ridge Province Newport, Virginia
This study focuses on a series of thrust sheets exposed in the Appalachian Valley and Ridge Province Blacksburg-Pembroke area in southwest Virginia. Structures in the hanging wall of the Saltville thrust (Saltville thrust sheet) and the footwall of the Saltville thrust (Narrows thrust sheet) are …

Geology of the Spruce Run Mountain area, Giles County, Virginia
… age from those of Middle Ordovician age. The Saltville thrust, a southeast dipping thrust fault, crosses the Spruce Run Mountain area trending northeast. The thrust separates Middle Cambrian dolomite from Ordovician formations on the southeast flank of the Spruce Run Mountain syncline. The …

Cross-structural development at the southwestern termination of Walker Mountain, Virginia
The Saltville thrust sheet in the southwest Virginia portion of the Appalachian foreland fold and thrust belt generally has very little penetrative deformation. At the southern termination of Walker Mountain however, a continuous 10-15 km zone along strike is highly strained and polydeformed. In …

Geology of the Adwolf-Thomas Bridge area, Virginia
… complex. The southeast dipping Seven Springs thrust brings Late Cambrian rocks of the hanging wall into contact with rocks as young as Middle Ordovician age in the Saltville thrust block. The Holston River syncline and the Glade-Pond Mountain anticlinorium form the area southeast of the Seven …

Geology of the Big Walker Mountain-Crockett Cove Area, Bland, Pulaski, and Wythe counties, Virginia
… overridden from the southeast by rocks of the Saltville block. The northeast-trending Saltville thrust probably dips less than 25° in the area near Bland, Virginia, where Middle Ordovician rocks are exposed in a fenster. The rocks exposed in the fenster are probably part of the northwest limb …
