A GRAVITY SURVEY OF THE SOUTH-cENTRAL GEORGIA PIEDMONT

by

Robert H. Carpenter! and Preston Prather2

ABSTRACT

A gravity survey of a 1000 square mile area (210 gravity stations ) in the south-central Georgia Pied­mont defines in considerable detail a segment of a major gravity anomaly that extends along the Appalachians from Alabama to Vermont. The major feature is a northeast-trending gravity ridge with a steep negative northwest gradient which averages about 2 mgal/mile. Superimposed on the ridge is a pronounced positive anomaly with an amplitude of 20 mgals and a diameter of approxi­mately 12 miles.

The anomaly is interpreted to reflect the sub­surf~ce distribution of diorite, gabbro, and norite intrusives. Small bodies of these rocks exposed at the surface are probably apophyses from much larger intrusive bodies at depth.

INTRODUCTION

This report describes a gravity survey of an area of approximately 1000 square miles in the south­cen tral Georgia Piedmont. Bouguer anomaly values are reported for 210 stations in Butts, Jasper, Putnam, Jones, Bibb, and Monroe Counties (Figure 1).

Previously, Carpenter and Hughes (1970) de­scribed a detailed gravity survey in southern Jasper County in the vicinity of the Gladesville Norite. Disclosure of a pronounced gravity gradient sug­gested that exposed mafic intrusives in the area were probably apophyses from a large mafic intru­sive at depth.

The present study was undertaken to obtain closure on the indicated positive anomaly and to determine t he subsurface distribution of dense

mafic rocks which appear to account for the anoma­lous positive Bouguer values in this area.

The authors would like to express their apprecia­tion to the Georgia Department of Mines, Mining and Geology for providing financial support for this investigation and to Mr. R. W. Johnson, Jr., of the Geologic Branch, Tennessee Valley Author­ity, for assistance in arranging for computer analy­sis of the gravity data on the TVA computer.

METHOD OF STUDY

A LaCoste and Romberg Model G geodetic gravity meter was utilized in measurement of gra­vitational acceleration. The instrument has a read­ing accuracy of ±0.01 milligals and a drift rate nor­mally less than 1 milligalfmonth.

All measurements are relative to a base station established by the Coast and Geodetic Survey in the town square of Monticello, Georgia. The value reported for this station is 979563.00 milligals (written communication, J. A. Kozlosky). A secon­dary base station was established at station 5061 in eastern Monroe County. During field operation, base stations were reoccupied every 3 or 4 hours to determine the rate of instrumental and diurnal drift. Observed gravity values are corrected for drift and are estimated to be accurate to ±0.03 milligals. For the computer programs, the value is rounded off to the nearest 0.1 milligal.

Sites selected for measurement are separated by distances normally less than 2 miles. The sites are either at bench marks or at road intersections where elevations are presented on the topographic maps published by the U. S. Geological Survey. The maximum uncertainty in elevation is probably ±4 feet at road intersections and the corresponding maximum error in Bouguer anomaly values is about .24 milligals.

Bouguer values were calculated for each station on the Tennessee Valley Authority IBM 360/50 computer utilizing a program developed at the University of Wisconsin. The basic equation in­volved in the calculation is:

Bouguer anomaly = Obs. Gravity - (theoretical gravity + free air correction - Bouguer correction)

Observed gravity is the measured value corrected for drift and related to a station for which the absolute gravity has been determined.

Theoretical gravity is the calculated gravity at sea level for any particular latitude according to the International Gravity Formula of 1930. This formula is:

Theoretical gravity = 978.049 (1 + 0.0052884 sin2 w - 0.0000059 sin2 w) where w is the latitude in degrees.

Both the free air correction and the Bouguer correction are elevation-dependent terms. The free air correction compensates for the vertical distance a gravity station stands above sea level. The cor­rection is 0.09406 milligals/foot. The Bouguer cor­rection compensates for the effect of the rock lying between the land surface and sea level. This correction requires an assumption of the density of the rock mass. The formula for the Bouguer cor­rection is:

From the above discussion, it is apparent that the principal facts necessary for computation of Bouguer anomaly values are: observed gravity, latitude, and elevation. This information is sum­marized on the computer print-out (Appendix A), as well as Bouguer anomaly values calculated for the following assumed densities: 2.20, 2.35, 2.50, 2.67, 2.75, and 2.85.

Results

A Bouguer anomaly map of the study area is shown in Plate 1 for an assumed density of 2.67 gm fcc. A striking feature of the map is the pro­nounced gravity gradient along the western edge

of a northeast trending gravity high. In a distance of only 26 miles, values range from -32.0 milligals for station 5110 in the northwest to +38.2 milligals for station 5009 on the positive closure at the Jones-Jasper County boundary. This amounts to a total variation of 70.2 milligals or 2.7 milligals /mile ~

There are some relationships between features on the gravity map and major geological features shown on the Geologic Map of Georgia (1939) (Figure 2). The unit mapped as Hornblende Gneiss and described by the statement, "includes diorite gneiss, gabbro, and injection gneiss," underlies the gradient northwest of the central gravity ridge. The axis of the gravity ridge corresponds reasonably well with the eastern boundary of the hornblende gneiss unit in the eastern portion of the study area. However, the hornblende gneiss unit is shown to terminate east of Forsyth even though the gravity ridge extends southwest of the terminus. The de­crease in gradient between the 0 and + 20 milligal contours in northeastern Monroe County possibly reflects the southern termination of the hornblende gneiss as shown on the Geologic Map of Georgia.

Along the crest of the gravity ridge in central Jones County, the gravity surface is relatively flat. Two weak gravity lows are present on the ridge southwest of Gray. These features appear to be related to the outcrop of a granitic intrusive shown on the Geologic Map of Georgia (1939 ).

Known norite occurrences lie in a rather re­stricted zone which parallels the isogal contours. The relationship is probably not fortuitous as the isogal contours bend away from the northeast regional strike. The Gladesville Norite, mapped by Matthews (1967) in southwestern Jasper County, occurs between the +8 and +16 milligal contours. Three other norites have been mapped by Prather (M. S. Thesis, Univ. of Georgia, in preparation) in northeastern Monroe County. These lie between the +4 and +16 milligal contours.

CONCLUSIONS

The gravity ridge with the steep western gradient is probably a part of a long, more or less continu­ous, gravity anomaly that extends from Vermont to Alabama (Figure 3). The gravity pattern deter­mined in the present study is virtually identical to

that determined by Mann (1962) and Best and others (1970) in portions of the Piedmont of North Carolina. Based on a model analysis of the gradient near Lexington, North Carolina, Best and others (1970) determined that the best model was repre­sented by a mass 50,000 feet thick, with a density contrast of 0.28 ,gm {cc. The top of the mass is estimated to be within 2000 feet of the surface. Preliminary model analysis of the gravity data in the south-central Piedmont of Georgia suggests a similar subsurface distribution of anomalously dense rocks.

Basic intrusives of the diorite-gabbro-norite as­sociation commonly occur along the Piedmont gravity high in the eastern United States. However, even the largest of these intrusives is too small to account for the magnitude of the observed gravity anomaly. The most probable explanation is that the anomaly reflects a more or less continuous mafic intrusive originating in the mantle or lower crust and extending upward to within a few thousand feet of the present erosional surface. Small mafic intrusives occurring along the _gravity high probably represent apophyses from the parent intrusive at depth.
