Structurally folded beds (Rome Formation, Middle Cambrian; hanging wall of the Copper Creek Thrust Fault, Thorn Hill section, northeastern Tennessee, USA) 4

            Structurally tilted & folded sedimentary rocks in the Cambrian of Tennessee, USA.

The deformed rocks shown here are part of the Rome Formation (Middle Cambrian).  Folds (and faults) are common in mountain belts formed by tectonic collision - this example is in the Appalachian Mountains, which formed by collision between Africa and North America during the Pennsylvanian.  This ancient mountain-building event is called the Allegheny Orogeny.  The supercontinent Pangaea formed at this time.

Locality: roadcut along the eastern side of Rt. 25E, immediately south of the Copper Creek Thrust Fault (= same outcrop), just south of the Clinch River, north of Clinch Mountain, far-northern Grainger County, northeastern Tennessee, USA (36° 22' 54.64" North latitude, 83° 26' 48.86" West longitude)
