SUMMARY:Field trip to explore Brevard Zone in Metro Atlanta
DESCRIPTION:The Brevard Zone is a classic mylonite zone extending from Alabama nearly to Virginia. Within it are deformed rocks of many different mineral compositions. Register at this link for the June 1 AGS trip examining contrasting rock types at 4 outcrops\, to my knowledge never before visited by any geological society field trip. \nTime: 10-AM to about 2 PM\, Sunday\, June 1 \nWhere to meet: Blue Heron Nature Preserve\, 4055 Roswell Rd NE\, Atlanta\, GA 30342 \nWhat to bring: sack lunch\, outdoor wear\, sunscreen\, hammers and eye protection. \nPlease register at this link by completing a waiver. \nAs soon as everyone has checked in at Blue Heron\, we will drive in fewer cars 1 mile to a smaller lot in Chastain Park off Lake Forrest Drive. There we look at two exposures of a quartz-feldspar-rich rock. The exposure across the road from the park shows prominent feldspar porphyroclasts. Returning to Blue Heron\, we will examine a decent outcrop of the ordinarily poorly exposed “button schist” lithology traced for more than a hundred miles along the zone. \nAfter a lunch break\, we’ll drive 6 miles to the Perimeter Center Parkway bridge over I-285\, which overlooks a gigantic new cut in Long Island Gneiss\, a unit that persists from here well into Alabama. Although we view the big cut through a fence\, there are a couple of hundred feet of road cut along the street to see this uniform rock type interrupted by a few granitic dikes. \nThe final stop\, 14 miles east\, is the pair of nearly 1000-foot-long road cuts accessible along the sidewalks that line Pleasant Hill Road in Duluth. This site features on p. 298 of Roadside Geology of Georgia. It lies within a unit that Higgins et al. (2003) mapped as “button schist and sheared amphibolite” (POms). Our thin sections confirm the presence of hornblende in this outcrop. \nAs mentioned in previous newsletters\, you can find photomicrographs from three of the stops in the AGS Fieldtrips Folder on Google Drive. They are in the 2025PhotomicrographsForTrips.pdf file. Feel free to add comments and questions there. By field trip time\, we should also have thin sections from the Perimeter Center Parkway stop.

SUMMARY:Field Trip to Explore Cascade Springs and Boat Rock
DESCRIPTION:The 125-acre park at Cascade Springs can pack a lot into a short visit. Mapped by Higgins et al. (2003) as Wahoo Creek Formation\, and close to both the Lithonia (aka Norcross) Gneiss and Ben Hill Granite\, this park has interesting opportunities for not only geological study\, but also for anthropologic\, botanical\, and ecological interests. A little further west\, the urban boulder field of Boat Rock in the Ben Hill Granite may pique one’s interest in the unusual setting (if you’re there to study the beautiful crystalline granite) or test one’s physique (if you’re there attempting to climb above your skill level to impress your friends). Register at the link below for the March 22 AGS field trip examining these areas (an AGS-first!).\nRegistration: Participation Waiver \nWhen: 10:00 to about 1:00\, Sunday March 22 \nWhere to meet: Cascade Springs Nature Preserve Parking Lot \nWhat to bring: Lunch\, water\, outdoor wear\, sunscreen\, hand lens \nRestrooms: No restrooms available\, plan to stop before\, between\, and after locations as necessary \n Hiking notes: \n\nHilly topography along the trails at Cascade Springs.\nLook out below! When exploring Boat Rock\, be mindful of rock climbers.\n\nAs soon as everyone has parked\, we will begin our hike from the parking lot along the nature trail. We will start by viewing and noting outcrops along Utoy Creek Trail\, from which Bill Witherspoon and I collected samples for photomicrography. From there\, we will continue to an area with granite boulders and contrast what we see in hand samples with differences that were revealed in thin section. Our next stop will be Cascade Falls\, noting the change to a more metamorphic structure and again comparing hand samples to samples that Bill and I collected. We will conclude our time at Cascade Springs with lunch and then travel to Boat Rock Nature Preserve\, a 20-minute drive west. If the weather is nice\, we will certainly be sharing space at Boat Rock with several climbers. Here\, you will find the remnants of an exposed ridge\, which has been mostly eroded\, leaving behind giant granite boulders of the Ben Hill Granite.
