Strikes, fold axes, and fault traces generally trend northeast-southwest. Deformation takes the form of folding and faulting and is most notable in the eastern portion of the Quadrangle. As a result, bedrock on the Quadrangle exhibits a mixture of very complex and only moderate deformation. The Marlinton Quadrangle lies between the Allegheny Front to the east and the Appalachian Plateau to the west (see map above from Kulander and Dean, 1978). Stratigraphic units encountered in the mapping area. Rock units in the Marlinton area range in age from Ordovician through Mississippian. Teachers, Mary Sue Burns (Pocahontas High School, Dunmore, WV) and Christine Smith (Pocahontas County Board of Education, Marlinton, WV), worked as geological field assistants for a portion of the 2013-2014 field season. Reconnaissance bedrock mapping and geochemical sampling were carried out on the Marlinton Quadrangle, West Virginia (see location map above) from June 2013 through May 2014 by investigators Ronald McDowell, Jaana Hitzig, Paula Hunt ( WVGES).
