Tecopa Seismite Exposure Exercise, Tecopa Basin Be sure to first read the paper by Gibert et al., 2011. Seismite outcrop in Tecopa Basin with 2016 Active Tectonics Field Class. Describe the geometry of the structures in the seismite layers? What is the unit comprised of (i.e. what rock type)? Draw a sketch of the folded layers in a typical outcrop. How and why was the sediment that is deformed by the seismite first deposited? Has it been redeposited here? What logic would you use to argue this point?
