Abstract
The Yeongweol - Yemi area, in the area between the Kagdong thrust fault and Samcheog Coalfield, comprises Paleozoic and Mesozoic sedimentary and igneous rocks. Geologic structures related with thrust movements are dominant in the area. These are thrust faults, imbricate structures and hanging-wall anticline. Thrust sheets were transported from NW to SE and these differ from the Cretaceous Bulkuksa Orogeny of which thrust sheets were transported from N to S. NE - trending folds are dominant, but NW - trending folds and refolded folds are also found. NW - trending folds are only found in the Cambro-Ordovician sedimentary rocks. It might be an indication of the presence of late Paleozoic tectonism in the Korean Peninsula.
