This bulletin is another in the series being made possible by the cooperation of the Tennessee Valley Authority. The Murphy Marble Belt has produced varying amounts of high grade talc for more than 85 years. Although geological work has been done in the area at different times,.this bulletin represents the first detailed geological report covering, as a unit, that part of the Murphy Marble Belt lying within the State of North Carolina. This report indicates that there are ample re serves of talc in the area for long term operations, and it is be lieved that the information contained herein will be of value to those interested in the area. Respectfully submitted, RD.ireBcrtourc.e Etheridge, iii CONTENTS Page ABSTRACT ________________ 1 INTRODUCTION ______________________________________ a___ 1 Purpose of
