Summary

English: Ripple marks in quartzite in the Precambrian of South Dakota, USA.
Extensive outcrops of pinkish, Paleoproterozoic-aged quartzites are present at Falls Park along the Big Sioux River in the city of Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The quartzites here have nicely water-worn, sculpted surfaces with good, fluvially abraded polish in places. These rocks are part of the Sioux Quartzite, which consists of 1.65 to 1.70 billion year old metamorphosed sandstones. Despite the metamorphism, original sedimentary features such as horizontal stratification, cross-bedding, and ripple marks are still preserved. The Sioux Quartzite is an erosion-resistant unit in America’s midcontinent. It has formed a long-lived paleotopographic high since Precambrian times - the Sioux tectonic core. This high is part of a northeast-to-southwest trending series of paleotopographic highs & depressions known as the Transcontinental Arch, which extends from Arizona to Minnesota (see Carlson, 1999). Quarries of Sioux Quartzite occur in southeastern South Dakota and southwestern Minnesota. The rocks are used as building stone, road gravel, sidewalk and paving gravel, and erosion control material. The ridges seen here are ripple marks, which form in a current. Common examples include asymmetrical ripples, which form in a one-directional current and symmetrical ripples, which form in a two-directional, back-and-forth current in very shallow water. Stratigraphy: Sioux Quartzite, upper Paleoproterozoic, 1.65-1.70 Ga Locality: Falls Park, along the Big Sioux River in the town of Sioux Falls, southeastern South Dakota, USA Reference cited: Carlson (1999) - Transcontinental Arch - a pattern formed by rejuvenation of local features across central North America.
