Uplift and exposure of the Bannock detachment system and the synextensionalbasin fi ll deposits of the Salt Lake Formation provide a unique exposure of the threedimensionalgeometries of a low-angle normal fault system and the stratal architectureof the overlying supradetachment basin. Within this system, structural andstratigraphic analyses, outcrop patterns, tephra geochronology, and geological crosssections document several important relationships: (1) the Bannock detachment systemdeveloped above the Sevier-age Cache-Pocatello culmination and resembles theSevier Desert detachment in its geometry, structural setting, and kinematic evolution;(2) the Bannock detachment system initiated and slipped at low angles; (3) fl aton-fl at, ramp-fl at, and lateral ramp geometries, …

Field Trip Roadlog For The Bear River Landslide Complex, James P. Mccalpin
James P. McCalpin
The Bear River Landslide Complex occurs where the unconsolidated sediments of the Bear River Delta have been incised to a depth of 350 to 490 feet (106-150 m) north of Preston, Idaho. The slides are the result of the high pore pressure in confined aquifers in the deltaic sediments. High but variable volumes of groundwater flow and the laterally discontinuous nature of the deltaic sediments result in the varied types of earth movements found within the Landslide Complex. Landslide activity occurs during years of above average precipitation, and has been exacerbated by increased recharge from reservoirs and irrigation canals constructed …

The Bear River Landslide Complex, Preston, Idaho: Geologic Considerations And Historical Perspectives, James P. Mccalpin
James P. McCalpin
The Bear River Landslide Complex is a series of earth movements in northern Cache Valley, north of Preston, Idaho. The landslides occur in unconsolidated sediments of the Pleistocene Bear River Delta which formed where the river entered Lakes Bonneville and Provo. The Lake Bonneville delta deposits are up to 490 feet (150 m) thick and consist of a lower alluvial coarse sand and gravel unit, a middle delta front fine sand and silt unit, and an upper pro-delta clay up to 50 feet (15 m) thick. The interbedded character of the fine sands, silts, and clays, together with abrupt lateral …
