Graphite schist from the Roanoke Rapids terrane in southeastern Virginia.  Economic deposits of this critical mineral may exist in this relatively unexplored region, which has not been adequately mapped at scales larger than 1:250,000. 

Staurolite weathering out of schist along the eastern edge of the Roanoke Rapids terrane in southeastern Virginia.  Is this greenschist-facies schist part of the suprastructural Roanoke Rapids terrane, or part of a heretofore undefined higher-grade infrastructural terrane to the east? 

An outcrop of quartzite within the Roanoke Rapids terrane near Coleman Lake.  Laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry U-Pb geochronology on detrital zircon grains within this unit (conducted by the USGS LA-ICPMS Lab in Denver) will provide critical and precise geochronologic age control as a geologic framework model is developed and compiled

An outcrop of blue quartz-bearing granite within the Roanoke Rapids terrane.  Sensitive high-resolution ion microprobe U-Pb geochronology will precisely determine the age of this rock (conducted by the USGS-Stanford SHRIMP Lab in Menlo Park) and will provide critical geochronologic age control as a geologic framework model is developed and complied for the east
