Title: Marathon Folded Belt in Big Bend Area of Texas

Author(s): W. Ellis Hall (2)

Abstract:

It is suggested that the Marathon folded belt in the Big Bend area of Texas was deformed by two distinct late Paleozoic orogenies. The first occurred during the Lower Pennsylvanian and the second during the early Permian. These distinct movements have long been recognized in the literature, but are usually discussed as a single orogenic system (the Ouachita, or the Marathon) with several pulsations.
