Presentation Transcript

  1. Expectations for presentations

  2. Outline • Content • Speaking mechanics • Power Point slides

  3. Content • Did you address the over-arching questions for the topic? • Is the presentation well organized • Did you follow the rule of threes?

  4. Speaking Mechanics • Giving a presentation is like acting • Body language is important • Make eye contact • Get the pace right • You’re NOT going too slow • Feel free to say nothing • Repetition and restatement

  5. Power Point instructions

  6. Power Point slide examples

  7. New evidence for sinistral transpression in the Cheyenne belt W. A. Sullivan, Colby College R. J. Beane, Bowdoin College

  8. Compiled from Houston et al., 1968; Karlstrom and Houston, 1992; Houston and Graff, 1995; and Resor and Snoke (2005)

  9. Reigning tectonic and structural model From Duebendorfer and Houston, 1987

  10. Strain modeling of transpressional shear zones predicts: • Steeply dipping foliation • Subvertical lineations and/or • Strain in the flattening field Undeformed Deformed

  11. Representative kinematic data from Biotite gneiss

  12. Other areas with evidence for sinistral strike-slip motion

  13. Asymmetrical boudins at Bear Mountain locality Sinistral S-C fabrics at North Fork locality Image is 6.4-cm wide

  14. Take-home points • Several areas of Cheyenne belt exhibit significant evidence for sinistral transpression • Cheyenne belt shear zones may have started life as a sinistral transpressional fault system
