Summary The six guides in this volume explore the geology of the Mississippi Embayment & surrounding regions with emphases on seismic hazard, mining economics, groundwater resources, community education & outreach, mapping conventions, & regional tectonics. The first guide investigates the New Madrid seismic zone through surficial features resulting from the 1811-1812 New Madrid earthquakes. The second guide focuses on mining economics of ball clay, heavy mineral sand, & sand and gravel deposits. The third guide examines the recharge zone of the Eocene Memphis Sand Aquifer. The fourth guide explores an Upper Cretaceous Lagersttte fossil site, while the fifth guide examines regional Upper Cretaceous stratigraphic correlations based on geologic mapping. Presented through virtual reality, the final guide explores the tectonic development of the southern Appalachians; a road log is also provided for a traditional trip.
