Item 2011 Precambrian Field Camp(2011-08) University of Minnesota Duluth. Precambrian Research CenterItem 2011 Precambrian Field Camp Capstone Mapping Projects Map(2011) University of Minnesota Duluth. Precambrian Research CenterThis map shows the locations of the capstone mapping projects for the 2011 Precambrian Field Camp sponsored by the Precambrian Research Center. It also indicates who participated in which project.Item Bedrock Geologic Map of the Gold Mine Camp Area, Quetico Subprovince, Northern Minnesota(2011-08) Ryan, Patrick; Balogh, Taylor; Fischer, William; Lenane, Tim; Latson, Charles; Kroeninger, Adam; Radakovich, Amy; Peterson, Dean MAs part of the PRC 2011 Field Camp capstone project led by Dr. Dean Peterson, the authors mapped the Quetico Sub-Province of the Superior Province along the Vermillion River to the southwest of Vermillion Falls from August 8th 2011 through August 13th 2011. The goal of the project was to create a map of the structural relationships between the lithological units of the area. As part of the project, the mineral potential of sulfide-rich quartz veins in association with the historic gold prospect (1925-1933) mine was investigated. The study area was accessed by river using motor boats and a canoe, cars on forestry roads to accommodate long traverses, and traversed by foot both on and off trails. The geology of the area consists of a heterogeneous migmatite consisting of two major units, granitoid-rich migmatite and biotite schist-rich migmatite. The migmatite was derived from metamorphism and melting of passive margin sediments (greywacke and argillite) associated with the north directed collision of North America and the Wawa-Abitibi Sub-province during the Algoman Orogeny (2.68 Ga).Item Bedrock Geology of the Sawbill Lake Area(2011-08) Asp, Kris; Leu, Adam; Parisi, Andrew; Sletten, Dan; Brooker, Ben; Miller, JamesItem Preliminary Bedrock Geology Map of the Eastern Part of Lake Vermilion State Park, St. Louis County, Northeastern Minnesota(2011-08) Helm, Nick; Scott, Heather; Kilduff, Rob; Rahtz, Christine; Vial, Andrew; Young, Spencer; Mahr, Chris; Hudak, George JThis map was created by seven students of the Precambrian Research Center under the guidance of Dr. George Hudak, Senior Research Associate at the Natural Resources Research Institute and Associate Director of the PRC. The purpose of this map was to further understand the spatial and temporal relationships between the volcanic, volcaniclastic, chemical sedimentary, and intrusive rocks that make up the lithologies at Lake Vermilion State Park. This map was produced from detailed geological field mapping between August 8 and August 13, 2011. Access to the park was granted to Dr. Hudak and the PRC field mapping team by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources for the purpose of geological field mapping. A trail system provided easy access to the bush and canoeing allowed for shoreline mapping. This map will be part of a larger, 1:5000 scale geological map of both Soudan Underground Mine State Park and Lake Vermilion State Park that will be available to the public in the future.Item Reconnaissance Geologic Map of the Central Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness(2011-08) Baggetto, Louis; Eliason, Garret; Hansen, Darren; Hoxie, Erin; Kilpatrick, Kayla; Jirsa, Mark JThis map was created by PRC students under the guidance of Mark Jirsa, Minnesota Geological Survey, over an eight day period between August 7-14, 2011. The purpose of the map was to build upon and improve previous geologic mapping (e.g., Jirsa and Miller, 2004; Jirsa et. al. 2011). It was also done to re ne contact locations and locate sheer and fault zones amongst the Knife Lake Group, the Newton Lake Formation, Basswood Lake granodiorite and associated sheared rocks. Reconnaissance-style shoreline mapping was completed by students along a 44 mile traverse through 22 lakes and includes 240 outcrops in the central Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.
