GEOCHEMICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF PLIOCENE AND MIOCENE OUTCROPS IN THE GEORGIA BIGHT, GRAYS REEF NATIONAL MARINE SANCTUARY
Ervan G. Garrison, Jessica Cook Hale, Christopher Sean Cameron and Erin Smith
The University of Georgia
Abstract
Optical petrography, scanning electron microscopy, electron dispersive spectroscopy
(SEM-EDS) and wavelength dispersive x-ray diffraction (XRD) have been used to examine sedimentary rock facies from Gray’s Reef National Marine Sanctuary, 32 km offshore Georgia, and the Savannah Scarp, 60 km offshore, Atlantic Ocean. Petrological and geochemical data have been developed for the outcrops. These findings are in good agreement with previous studies using optical petrography. Our instrumental indicate a greater role of phreatic/groundwater in the formation and cementation processes for these rocks.
Introduction
The Coastal Plain Province offshore of Georgia, USA (Milliman et al. 1972) (fig. 1) is characterized by a gradual regional dip (0.4 - 1.0 m / km) and is composed of Jurassic, Cretaceous, Tertiary and Quaternary sediments that thicken seaward (fig. 2). Antoine and Henry (1965) described Quaternary sediments of the Outer Continental Shelf of the Southeastern U.S. as a thin veneer overlying Tertiary bedrock. The Georgia Bight stratigraphic sequence compresses 2 million years of Quaternary basin-margin evolution into deposits no more than 20 m thick across its breadth (Woolsey and Henry 1974; Woolsey 1977; Harding and Henry 1994). This is a reasonable characterization of the Outer Shelf as well. Seaward of the modern shoreline, Cretaceous-Cenozoic age rocks underlie the Continental Shelf and Slope (Buffler et al. 1978). Adesida (2000) reviews this stratigraphic framework for the Eocene through Miocene sequences in her shallow seismic reflection study at Sapelo Island, Georgia. Weems and Edwards (2001) provide the most current description of coastal Georgia’s suite of nineteen unconformably bound Oligocene and Miocene, three
