Description

This report summarizes the results of a study to determine the fundamental structure of a continental margin near the Shumagin and Sanak Islands. The primary objectives of the study were to: study sedimentary structures, softsediment deformation, and lithographic variation in hopes of revealing the nature and geometry of the depositional basin; and detail the postconsolidational tectonic deformation and plutonism. A description of the study area is included. A discussion of the preliminary results is also provided. A study area map is attached.
