摘要

The Martin Marietta Quarry at Rocky Point is located in the southeastern coastal plain of North Carolina, or in the southeastern part of the Atlantic Coastal Plain Province. The coastal plain province is a seaward-dipping and -thickening wedge of relatively unconsolidated siliciclastic and carbonate sediments that is underlain by rocks of the Appalachian orogen (Horton et al., 1991). In North Carolina, the coastal plain is separated into two tectonic blocks that have behaved differently through time, the northern Albemarle block and the southern Onslow block. The division between the two blocks is the Neuse hinge, a northwest-southeast trending feature extending from the fall line to the coast between New River Inlet and Cape Lookout (Fig. 1). Mesozoic and Cenozoic sediments thicken and thin across the blocks with the thickest section occurring in the Albemarle embayment on the Albemarle block at Cape Hatteras. The section thins to the southwest onto the axis of the Cape Fear arch, a northwest-southeast trending high located just north of the South Carolina state line. Mesozoic and Cenozoic sediments that generally trend northeast to southwest on the Albemarle block assume more of a north to south strike on the Onslow block wrapping around the nose of the Cape Fear arch. Cretaceous sediments are exposed along the axis of the arch and to the north Paleogene (Eocene, Oligocene) sediments are exposed. A discontinuous thin veneer of Plio-Pleistocene and Quaternary sediments overlies the Paleogene.
