Description

Students will concentrate on mapping and cross-section construction of well-exposed structures in southwest Montana, where thrust structures involve foreland basin strata. Students will develop skills for making geologic field observations and constructing geologic maps in the field. Students will learn techniques for measuring stratigraphic sections, collecting structural data in the field, describing and recognizing rock units, constructing geologic cross sections, conducting simple structural analyses from the field data, and interpreting geologic history from both stratigraphic and structural relations examined in the field.
