Hello Aaron,
Perhaps there may be some interesting ideas for your course in the introductory chapter of the
Geological Society Special Publication number 349 (year 2011) entitled "Kinematic evolution and
structural styles of fold-and-thrust belts".
Best regards,
Josep

Rather, I am looking for some new inspiration, or old map and cross section suggestions that are
excellent teaching examples; or, seminal, but out-of-the way reference suggestions that are superb
but often overlooked.

its pertinence to student training, I will be leading 3 field mapping trips to various Ouachita and US
Cordilleran FTB's. And, I like to emphasize the history of concept evolution; therefore, I'll have the
students examine concepts of Suess and Argand, and the Peach and Horne maps/volume, as well as
Rich's paper from 1934. I also highlight the major players, including, but not limited to, Price and
Mountjoy's work, the mechanics of FTB's viz. Hubbert & Dahlen/Davis, etc., balancing via Dalhstrom,
etc., and Suppe's models for fault-related folding, the delectable problem of strain viz. Ramsay's
pubs., Etc. [UTF-8?]etc… Hopefully you will see that I'd like to emphasize the historical development
of ideas while the students learn how to evaluate the quality of a cross section or interpret subsurface
"real world" data.
