Billy Joe Fudge poses question on Adair geological oddity He wonders why soil over bedrock is 20 times more in Sparksville than the Flatwoods Billy Joe Fudge writes: Mr. Garmon, I'm greatly humbled in the presence of such scientific prowess. I, as I'm sure you are painfully aware, have a Doctorate in "Much Knowledge About Little". I know your eyes are glassing over with jealously but I cannot help bragging a bit by adding that I am "well-respected" in this discipline.Comments re article 81354 Travis Garmon On Caney Fork Creek bed of creek 2016-02-26 20:40:43 | Comments | Printable version

Travis Garmon: On Caney Fork Creek bed of creek 
He offers one correction: Creek Beds called 'slate rock' in this area are usually 'shale." He thinks phenomenon on Caney Fork Creek, at a point alongside KY 1913 in Green County result ancient fault system split, not by the relatively recent New Madrid EarthquakesClick on headline for complete essay By Travis Garmon Please allow me to offer one correction to the Caney Fork Creek article: The bottom unit in the bed of the creek is a shale, not a slate. This is a very common misconception in the area, and I'm not sure how it got started or propagated so completely throughout the region. Shales are sedimentary rocks that are composed primarily of clay and organic carbon, deposited in deep marine environments, deep lakes, and swamp-like areas. Slates are metamorphic rocks, formed by the heating and compression of shales and other clay-rich rocks during deep burial or mountain-building events. There is no evidence to suggest that the near-surface rocks in present-day south-central KY were ever subjected to any degree of metamorphism, and thus most any rock units in the area referred to as "slate" are in fact most likely shales.
