| Description/Abstract | The Baker, Needmore and Wolf Gap 7.5-minute quadrangles, are located in the Valley and Ridge province of Hardy County, West Virginia.^These quadrangles cover the geology of the Cacapon Mountain anticlinorium on the east and the Broadtop synclinorium on the west.^Stratigraphically, the Paleozoic section is exposed from the Upper Ordovician Martinsburg Formation to Lower Mississippian Purslane Sandstone.^The Cacapon Mountain structure developed by longitudinal ramping from the Lower Cambrian Waynesboro (i.e.^Rome) decollement level to the Upper Ordovician Martinsburg detachment horizon.^Longitudinal ramping from the Waynesboro to Martinsburg level under Whip Cove anticline (west) along the western flank of Broadtop synclinorium has resulted in the Broadtop overthrust sheet of Jacobeen and Kanes (1974, 1975), which duplicates the Lower Paleozoic section westward to the Bedford syncline.^Anderson Ridge anticline in the Cacapon Mountain anticlinorium complex has been redesignated Trout Run anticlinorium because of recent detailed mapping.^Short wave length folds developed in the largely incompetent Silurian and Devonian section in the Cacapon Mountain anticlinorium.^Also of significance in this structure are extensive thrust faults and back thrusts on Halfmoon Mountain at the northern plunge-out of Trout run anticlinorium.^Early layer-parallel shortening values were obtained from fossil deformation and intergranular strain studies, determined by Rf/[O] and Fry analyses of 42 rock samples from the Chemung Formation in the Broadtop synclinorium.^Shortening averaged 13%, assuming constant volume. |
