Weathering of sulfidic shale and copper mine waste: secondary minerals and metal cycling in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Tennessee, and North Carolina, USA

“…3). Hadley and Goldsmith (1963) analyzed rocks from the Anakeesta Formation from the central part of the park (muscovite-rich argillite near Alum Cave, quartz and feldspar-rich greywacke near Newfound Gap) for major elements, carbon, and total sulfur (up to 1.3%), and observed sulfate minerals on weathered argillaceous greywacke along the highway north of Newfound Gap. Bacon and Maas (1979) documented Anakeesta Formation as a source of contaminants in two areas of the park.…”

Bedrock geology and mineral resources of the Knoxville 1° x 2° quadrangle, Tennessee, North Carolina, and South Carolina

“…Later work in the western part of the Blue Ridge by Hamilton (1961), Hadley and Goldsmith (1963), King (1951, 1964a andb), Neuman and Nelson (1965), Hadley and Nelson (1971), and, in the Grandfather Mountain window area, by Bryant and Reed (1970) has been the basis for many current concepts of stratigraphy and structure.…”

“…Zinc, besides a minor presence in massive sulfide deposits, is limited to small shows as Mississippi Valleytype mineralization within carbonate rocks of the Valley and Ridge province (Trotter prospect, deposit 34), and to a vein occurrence in a shear zone at the contact of Proterozoic orthogneiss (Max Patch Granite) with rocks of the Snowbird Group (Redmond mine, deposit 36; Hadley and Goldsmith, 1963;Espenshade and others, 194 7).…”
