“…2 and Table 1). The units examined are exposed in the following stone quarries: (1) Bass Islands Dolomite at Monroe, Michigan; (2) Bass Islands Dolomite at Ottawa Lake, Michigan; (3) Tymochtee and Bass Islands dolomites at Waterville, Ohio; (4) Bass Islands Dolomite at Salisbury, Ohio (also known as the Holland quarry; Carman, 1927); and (5) Lilley Formation at Peebles, Ohio (Fig. 1).…”

“…Sparling (1970) and Carman (1927) believed that most of the breccias in the Bass Islands Dolomite of northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan were a product of karst formation. In the same area, Johnson (1974) also argued for karst collapse, but added that solution collapse of underlying evaporites contributed to formation of some breccias.…”

“…Additionally, if exposures of Bass Islands Dolomite in northwest Ohio described by other authors (Carman, 1927;Sparling, 1970;Johnson, 1974) are included, then the deformation includes at least 10 000 km 2 in northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan. Except for the discordant sediment intrusions and breccia bodies, the deformed horizons in all locations studied are bounded top and bottom by undeformed strata.…”

Middle and Upper Silurian carbonates in western Ohio and southeastern Michigan contain an extensive array of soft sediment deformation structures: concordant and discordant breccias, folds and faults, homogenized zones, sediment intrusions, and fault-graded beds formed by hydroplastic deformation, liquefaction, and fluidization. The variety of behaviors indicated by the range of deformational styles is a consequence of the varying degrees of cementation at the time of deformation. The unlithified nature of the sediments at the time of deformation, the type and large areal distribution of structures, and similarity to structures related to modern earthquakes indicate that the deformation is seismically induced. The source of the seismicity is believed to be nearby faults associated with the Grenville front which are known to have been active during deposition of Silurian strata.on April 4, 2015 specialpapers.gsapubs.org Downloaded from
