This Collection of Coal Field Measured Sections consists of handwritten descriptions of rock unit sequences measured along roads, railroads, trails, and strip mine highwalls in the Tennessee coal fields. Most of the collection is composed of sections measured by Dr. Harold Wanless during his study of the southern Appalachian coal fields in the late 1930's. Most of the sections are unpublished, except for being included as columnar section illustrations in - Wanless, H.R., 1946, Pennsylvanian geology of a part of the southern Appalachian coal field: Geological Society of America Memoir, 13, 162 p. Other measured sections in this collection originate from published and unpublished sources.

This collection of Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) documents consists of published and unpublished reports, memoranda, and maps related to mineral resource investigations and hydroelectric dam site geotechnical studies throughout the TVA region. They have been acquired as a result of the close association between TGS and TVA staff over many decades. Users please note that there are also additional unpublished TVA documents contained in the Tennessee Geological Survey Mineral Resources Collection. The documents are all available in digital format as Portable Document Format (PDF) files. High resolution tagged image format (tif) files are available for the large plates. Currently all of the original documents are...

This collection consists of a wide range of mineral resource related items. It includes detailed and summary reports, memoranda, correspondence, notes, maps, and other documents. The documents were produced by former staff working for theTennessee Geological Survey, United States Geological Survey, and Tennessee Valley Authority. As of 2015 nearly all of the items in the collection located in the Knoxville Field Office have been reviewed and scanned, and are included in the metadata records here. The documents are all available in digital format as Portable Document Format (PDF) files. High resolution tagged image format (tif) files are available for the large plates.

This collection consists of written descriptions of lithologies encountered during the drilling phase of various coal exploration programs in Tennessee. Descriptions range from detailed to brief. Information obtained primarily from diamond core drilling with additional information from rotary drilling and e-logs. Drill hole depths range from tens to thousands of feet deep. Individual drill holes were originally located by using the Tennessee State Plane Coordinate System (NAD 27). Quadrangles with abundant drill holes have accompanying drill hole location maps.

This collection consists of field notebooks, related maps, and photographs from former Tennessee Geological Survey staff, contractors, and students that worked on Survey projects. As of 2020, the metadata records pertain only to field notebooks and related maps; the photographs in the collection will be completed at a later date.

This collection consists of bedrock core drived from mineral exploration test holes, coal exploration test holes, and oil and gas exploration test holes. The mineral exploration test holes are primarily associated with zinc exploration in East and Middle Tennessee. There are approximately 475 test holes currently stored in 3 locations in middle Tennessee. The locations are the Ellington Warehouse in Nashville, Tennessee, a TGS Core Storage Facility in Waverly, Tennessee, and a storage building on TVA property in Hartsville, Tennessee. Total estimated volume for housing cores is 39,000 cu. ft. Only 99 test holes are currently included in the National Digital Catalog, but ongoing efforts are underway to compile...

This coal map collection consists of maps depicting coal geology, cropline, coal thickness, mined out areas, and drill hole locations. Map detail ranges from intricate to simple. Maps include published and unpublished data. Some information is repeated on different maps. Various maps are printed on regular bond paper, blueline paper, and tracing paper. Maps are located by 7.5 minute quadrangle or 15 minute quadrangle basis.
