CH-425 mineralized silicified cataclasite
Mineralized silicified cataclasite (fault rock) from the Roanoke Rapids terrane in southeastern Virginia. This rock contains abundant pyrite, as well as traces of gold, silver, and telluride minerals.

Large pavement outcrop of granite in the Piedmont National Wildlife Refuge, Georgia
Large pavement outcrop of granite in the Piedmont National Wildlife Refuge, Georgia. These rocks may hold valuable mineral commodities, but such pavements also host unique and rare plant ecosystems. Our work in Georgia provides critical geologic information for natural resource management.

WR-14 OSL sample site in relation to three potential paleoliquefaction dikes
A paleoliquefaction sand dike in riverbank sediment along the Nottoway River in southeastern Virginia (the dike is the light-colored vertical feature between the shovel and the end of the sample tube). Such sand dikes may be the result of strong earthquakes. We collected sediment in the tube for optically stimulated luminescence dating (conducted by the U
