In the Rocky Mountain foreland, Precambrian basement rocks                 were deformed during Late Cretaceous and early Tertiary time in                 ways which allowed the Phanerozoic sedimentary cover rocks to be                folded over them.  The nature of the mechanical behavior of the                 basement rocks which allowed them to accommodate the shape of the               cover has been a persistent and controversial problem.  The                     objective of this research is to examine several well-exposed                   basement-cored folds in order to identify the mechanisms active                 during folding.  Methods to be used include field structural                    mapping, analysis of deformation features on several scales, and                measurement of strain.  The results may help establish the                      relative importance of the various geological factors which                     control the response of the basement rocks to later deformation.
