It's no secret, most of us would like to stay in our own home as we age. Yet, sometimes our loved ones just need a little extra help to remain comfortable at home. That's where Always Best Care can help....we are dedicated to exceeding expectations....always
They say that your golden years are the best years of your life. For most older Americans, that's how it should be - a time to relax, reflect, and live life in a familiar place. After all, senior citizens in the U.S. have worked tirelessly to build a better economy, serve their communities, and raise families.
However, as seniors grow older, completing daily tasks like showering and enjoying activities such as visiting the historic Historic log building in Marysvale gets harder without someone by their side. Unfortunately, many older Americans aren't able to rely on their adult children for help. The reality in today's world is that family members do not have the skills or time to dedicate to caring for their parents. That's where Always Best Care Senior Services comes in.
Our in-home care services are for people who prefer to stay at home as they grow older but need ongoing care that family or friends cannot provide. More and more older adults prefer to live far away from long-term, institutionalized facilities and closer to the place where they feel most comfortable - their home. Home care in Marysvale, UT is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

“I have used the services of Always Best Care since Sept. 2021. I have been very pleased with the attentive care they have given my husband. They have been flexible, accommodating, and gone the extra mile helping with my husband's needs. As an example, I was away for the day and I was called by the caregiver that my husband was not doing well. I came home and we decided to take him to the emergency room. The caregiver came with us and stayed at the hospital for hours. He was released with the medication he needed for his recovery and she helped bring him home and get him settled before she left. This was way into the night and passed her normal working hours. One of my requests before hiring on a Senior Service was that the caregivers enjoyed their job and enjoyed working with challenging patients. I use their service six days a week and every caregiver has been kind, compassionate, and hard working. I really have been pleased.”

Home is where the heart is. While that saying can sound a tad cliche, it is especially true for many seniors living in America. When given a choice, older adults most often prefer to grow older at home. An AARP study found that three out of four adults over the age of 50 want to stay in their homes and communities as they age.
When you begin to think about why, it makes sense. Home offers a sense of security, comfort, and familiarity.
The truth is, as we age, we begin to rely on others for help. When a family is too busy or lives too far away to fulfill this role, in-home senior care is often the best solution. Home care services allow seniors to enjoy personal independence while also receiving trustworthy assistance from a trained caregiver.
At Always Best Care, we offer a comprehensive range of home care services to help seniors stay healthy while they get the help they need to remain independent. As your senior loved one gets older, giving them the gift of senior care is one of the best ways to show your love, even if you live far away.
To give our senior clients the best care possible, we offer a full spectrum of in-home care services:
If your senior loved one has specific care needs, our personal care services are a great choice to consider. Personal care includes the standard caregiving duties associated with companion care and includes help with tasks such as dressing and grooming. Personal care can also help individuals with chronic conditions like diabetes.
Common personal care services include assistance with:
Sometimes, seniors need helpful reminders to maintain a high quality of life at home. If you or your senior has trouble with everyday tasks like cooking, our home helper services will be very beneficial.
Common home helper care services include assistance with:
Using this kind of care is a fantastic way to make life easier for you or your senior loved one. At Always Best Care, our talented caregivers often fill the role of a companion for seniors. That way, older adults can enjoy their favorite local activities, such as visiting Fireman's Park with friends while also receiving the care they need daily or weekly.
Common companionship services include:
According to AARP, more than 53 million adults living in the U.S. provide care to someone over 50 years old. Unfortunately, these caregivers experience stress, exhaustion, and even depression. Our respite care services help family caregivers address urgent obligations, spend time with their children, and enjoy nearby activities. Perhaps more importantly, respite care gives family members time to recharge and regroup. Taking personal time to de-stress reduces the risk of caregiver burnout. So, if you've always wanted to eat at the local Paiute Trails Inn & Diner or visit Miner's Park, don't feel bad. Doing so is great for both you and your loved one.
At the end of the day, our goal is to become a valuable part of your senior's daily routine. That way, we may help give them the highest quality of life possible. We know that staying at home is important for your loved one, and we are here to help make sure that is possible.
If you have been on the fence about non-medical home care, there has never been a better time than now to give your senior the care, assistance, and companionship they deserve.
Always Best Care in-home services are for older adults who prefer to stay at home but need ongoing care that friends and family cannot provide. In-home care is a safe, effective way for seniors to age gracefully in a familiar place and live independent, non-institutionalized lives. The benefits of non-medical home care are numerous. Here are just a few reasons to consider senior care services from Always Best Care:
According to AARP, 9 out of 10 seniors prefer to age in place within the comfort of their own home. With in-home care, seniors have a way to stay at home, receive the care they need, and maintain a sense of independence, improving overall wellness.
If you or a member of your family have assumed the role of caregiver for your senior loved one, you know how stressful the job can be. Between caregiver burnout and constant worry, being a family caregiver is hard. In-home care relieves your burden and gives you peace of mind knowing that your older family member is in expert hands.
Unlike nursing homes, where the staff and residents rotate frequently, seniors can foster new friendships and build bonds with their caregiver. Seniors who socialize on a regular basis are often happier, which fosters positivity and leads to increased wellbeing.
No two seniors need the same kind of in-home care assistance. That is why each of our Care Plans is tailored to meet our client's individual needs. We offer plans that cover everything from light housekeeping to more involved duties like transportation to doctor's appointments. Our Care Coordinators will work closely with you to develop a personalized plan to ensure your senior's needs are exceeded.
Always Best Care offers a full array of care options for patients at all levels of health. With our trusted elderly care services, your loved one will receive the level of care necessary for them to enjoy the highest possible quality of life.

While it's true that some seniors have complicated medical needs that prevent them from staying at home, aging in place is often the best arrangement for seniors and their families. With a trusted caregiver, seniors have the opportunity to live with a sense of dignity and do so as they see fit - something that is unavailable to many older people today.
In-home care makes it possible for millions of seniors to age in place every year. Rather than moving to a strange nursing home, seniors have the chance to stay at home where they feel the happiest and most comfortable.
How much does a senior's home truly mean to them?
A study published by the American Society on Aging found that more than half of seniors say their home's emotional value means more than how much their home is worth in monetary value. It stands to reason, then, that a senior's home is where they want to grow old.
With the help of elderly care in Marysvale, UT, seniors don't have to age in a sterilized care facility. Instead, they can age gracefully in the place they want to be most: their home. In contrast, seniors who move to a long-term care facility must adapt to new environments, new people, and new systems that the facility implements. At this stage in life, this kind of drastic change can be more harmful than helpful.
Institutional care facilities like nursing homes often put large groups of people together to live in one location. On any given day, dozens of staff members and caregivers run in and out of these facilities. Being around so many new people in a relatively small living environment can be dangerous for a seniors' health and wellbeing. When you consider that thousands of seniors passed away in nursing homes during the COVID-19 pandemic, opting for in-home care is often a safer, healthier choice for seniors.
Aging in place has been shown to improve seniors' quality of life, which helps boost physical health and also helps insulate them from viral and bacterial risks found in elderly living facilities.
For many seniors, the ability to live independently with assistance from a caregiver is a priceless option. With in-home care, seniors experience a higher level of independence and freedom - much more so than in other settings like a nursing home. When a senior has the chance to age in place, they get to live life on their own terms, inside the house that they helped make into a home. More independence means more control over their personal lives, too, which leads to increased levels of fulfillment, happiness, and personal gratification. Over time, these positive feelings can manifest into a healthier, longer life.
More independence, a healthier life, and increased comfort are only a few benefits of aging in place. You have to take into consideration the role of cost and convenience. Simply put, it's usually easier and more affordable to help seniors age in place than it is to move them into an institutional care facility. According to the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, seniors who age in the comfort of their homes can save thousands of dollars per month.
In-home care services from Always Best Care, for instance, are often less expensive than long-term solutions, which can cost upwards of six figures per year. To make matters worse, many residential care facilities are reluctant to accept long-term care insurance and other types of payment assistance.
With Always Best Care's home care services, seniors and their families have a greater level of control over their care plans. In-home care gives seniors the chance to form a bond with a trusted caregiver and also receive unmatched care that is catered to their needs. In long-term care facilities, seniors and their loved ones have much less control over their care plan and have less of a say in who provides their care.
In-home care is a valuable resource that empowers seniors to age in place on their own terms. However, a big concern for many families and their loved ones is how much in-home care costs. If you're worried that in-home care is too expensive, you may be pleasantly surprised to learn that it is one of the most affordable senior care arrangements available.
Typically, hiring an Always Best Care in-home caregiver for a few hours a week is more affordable than sending your loved one to a long-term care facility. This is true even for seniors with more complex care needs.
At Always Best Care, we will work closely with you and your family to develop a Care Plan that not only meets your care needs, but your budget requirements, too. Once we discover the level of care that you or your senior need, we develop an in-home care plan that you can afford.
In addition to our flexible care options, families should also consider the following resources to help offset potential home care costs:
When you or your senior loved one needs assistance managing daily tasks at home, finding a qualified caregiver can be challenging. It takes a special kind of person to provide reliable care for your senior loved one. However, a caregiver's role involves more than meal preparation and medication reminders. Many seniors rely on their caregivers for companionship, too.
Our companion care services give seniors the chance to socialize in a safe environment and engage in activities at home. These important efforts boost morale and provide much-needed relief from repetitive daily routines. A one-on-one, engaging conversation can sharpen seniors' minds and give them something in which to be excited.
At Always Best Care, we only hire care providers that we would trust to care for our own loved ones. Our senior caregivers in Marysvale, UT understand how important it is to listen and communicate with their seniors. A seemingly small interaction, like a short hug goodbye, can make a major difference in a senior's day. Instead of battling against feelings of isolation, seniors begin to look forward to seeing their caregiver each week.
Understanding the nuances of senior care is just one of the reasons why our care providers are so great at their job.
Unlike some senior care companies, our caregivers must undergo extensive training before they work for Always Best Care. In addition, our caregivers receive ongoing training throughout the year. This training ensures that their standard of care matches up to the high standards we've come to expect. During this training, they will brush up on their communication skills, safety awareness, and symptom spotting. That way, your loved one receives the highest level of non-medical home care from day one.
While it's true that many seniors prefer to age at home, sometimes in-home care isn't the best fit. For those seniors and their families, choosing an assisted living facility makes more sense. Unfortunately, finding the optimal care facility is easier said than done in today's day and age. That's when Always Best Care's assisted living referral services begin to make a lot of sense.
Assisted living is a form of housing intended for seniors who require varying degrees of medical and personal attention. Accommodations may include single rooms, apartments, or shared living arrangements. Assisted living communities are typically designed to resemble a home-like environment and are physically constructed to encourage the independence of residents.
At assisted living communities, seniors receive help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and eating. They may also benefit from coordination of services with outside healthcare providers, and monitoring of resident activities to ensure their health, safety, and well-being. Caregivers who work at assisted living communities can also provide medication administration and personal care services for older adults.
Other services offered within assisted living communities can include some or all of the following:
At Always Best Care, our representatives can match your senior's emotional, physical, and financial needs with viable assisted living communities nearby. Results are based on comparative data, so you can select the best choice for you or your loved one.
Always Best Care works closely with local senior living communities to gain valuable knowledge that we then use to help seniors and their loved ones make informed decisions. This information can include basic care and rent, resident availability, and services provided. Because Always Best Care is compensated by these communities, we provide senior living referral services at no extra cost to you.
Some of the most popular assisted living communities to consider in our area include the following:
For many seniors, moving into a senior living community revolves around how and when they want to make a transition to more involved care. Some seniors are more proactive about transitioning to independent living. Others choose to remain home until their care needs or other requirements are satisfied. Remember - our staff is here to help. Contact our office today to learn more about assisted living communities and how we can find a facility that exceeds your expectations.
The first step in getting quality in-home care starts with a personal consultation with an experienced Always Best Care Care Coordinator. This initial consultation is crucial for our team to learn more about you or your elderly loved one to discover the level of care required. Topics of this consultation typically include:
A discussion of your needs and how our trained caregivers can offer assistance in the most effective way
A draft of your care plan, which includes highly detailed notes and a framework for the care that you or your senior will receive
Discuss payment options and help coordinate billing with your insurance provider
Our caregivers are trained to spot changes that clients exhibit, like mental and physical decline. As your trusted senior care company, we will constantly assess and update your Care Plan to meet any new emotional, intellectual, physical, and emotional needs.
If you have never considered in-home care before, we understand that you and your family may have concerns about your Care Plan and its Care Coordinator. To help give you peace of mind, know that every team member and caregiver must undergo comprehensive training before being assigned to a Care Plan.
At the end of the day, we only hire the best of the best at Always Best Care. Whether you need home care in Marysvale, UT 24-hours a day or only need a respite for a couple of hours, we are here to serve you.
When you're ready, we encourage you to contact your local Always Best Care representative to set up a Care Consultation. Our Care Coordinators would be happy to meet with you in person to get to know you better, discuss your needs, and help put together a personalized Care Plan specific to your needs.

MARYSVALE, Utah — When you own a small business, you do whatever you can to make it a success, even if it means doing the dishes.
“Whatever job needs to get done is the job you do,” said Robert Thompson.
He and his wife Kristal bought the Big Rock Candy Mountain Resort near Marysvale just last year.
It is a place they have visited before, so when they noticed it was for sale, they decided to give it a try.
“I had been working in corporate America for years and I was getting burnt out of doing that,” Robert Thompson said.
They knew buying the resort was a risk, but they also felt with lots of hard work, they could get people to stop by.
“Honestly, it is a magical place already. So, we’re just hoping to build upon that,” Kristal Thompson said.
They bought the resort, which is in Sevier County just over the Piute County line, just in time. Because nothing brings people in like something you don’t see every day. Or, in this case, every decade.
“We have actually been booked out since the end of April. We are opening some spots for people to camp and bring their RV so there is more room for everybody,” said Robert Thompson.
Marysvale is one of many Utah communities that are right in the middle of the path of the big annular eclipse coming on the morning of Saturday, Oct. 14. It just might be the single biggest event that draws people to Piute County in county history.
“I think everyone is a little bit nervous, right? We just don’t know what’s going to happen. We saw what happened in Idaho a few years ago and were hoping to avoid that but we won’t know until it happens,” said Darin Bushman, a Piute County Commissioner. “The businesses have been getting ready and we think we will be ready for the crowds.”
With events, music, food, and portable restrooms, Bushman feels the county and businesses have been doing a great job of preparing.
Bushman also thinks the eclipse is a great opportunity for people to discover the area, which maybe doesn’t get the tourism attention it deserves.
“Frankly, we have the most beautiful scenery in the state,” Bushman said . “We see this an opportunity to expose people to Piute County and hopefully they will be making reservations for next year.”
That’s what the Thompsons are hoping for.
“Our number one thing when we bought was raising awareness of, one, that we are here and what we have to do here,” said Kristal. “Many other businesses in the county are on board as well to show off what we have.”
Who knew that a big shadow just might put them, and the area, in an even bigger spotlight?
“We heard through the grapevine that the sheriff’s department is expecting more than 30,000 people to come to the area,” said Robert. “That is a lot of people considering about 30,000 people live within a 50-mile radius of the Big Rock Candy Mountain.”

Southern Utah Tips & Tricks With DJ: Cheap Car Rentals!
At one point or another in your life, you've probably needed to rent a car, right? But it can be SO EXPENSIVE! What looks cheap, can EASILY turn expensive and hundreds of dollars a day for a car!
You know what's even worse? Flying into a city and THERE'S NO CARS LEFT TO RENT! What do you do?!
I GOT YOU COVERED!
UHAUL!
Now here me out... Nobody wants to drive a big storage truck around, but what if it was a fraction of the cost of a car rental? I'm talking... AT LEAST half the price! If you wanted a tiny little car for a week, that could run you $250, minimum! But renting a UHAUL truck would be a fraction of that!
UHAUL rents their trucks at $20 a day! TWENTY BUCKS! YOU CAN'T BEAT THAT!
A friend of mine, Brayden Phillips, used to work for Enterprise Rent-A-Car and he's even used this hack before in his own life. "Sometime's we run out of cars and people don't know what to do! I tell them to go rent a UHAUL for $20 a day!"
Phillips recalls a time where he passed that advice on to a man who flew into town for a softball tournament. "After the tournament was over, he told me what a great idea it was to rent the UHAUL. Him and his buddies piled in the back between games, and had a place to hang out!"
ALSO... You only have to be 18 years old to rent a UHAUL, instead of 25 for most car rental companies. That's BIG!

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 03, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Anfield Energy Inc. (TSX.V: AEC; OTCQB: ANLDF; FRANKFURT: 0AD) (“Anfield” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a definitive agreement with Nedeel LLC & BBL-2 LLC (“the Sellers”) to acquire a 100% interest in 65 unpatented mining claims and historical data of the Marysvale uranium project, located in Beaver County, Utah, and 100% interest in 26 unpatented mining claims and historical data of the Calf Mesa uranium project, located in Emery County, Utah.
Corey Dias, Anfield’s CEO commented: “We are pleased to secure additional claims near our Utah projects, including the Shootaring Canyon Mill, and will continue to seek out prospective assets which fit into our two-fold strategy of acquiring both near term and longer-term uranium and vanadium assets which will fit into our overall production plan. The near-term strategy centers on our advanced Utah and Colorado uranium and vanadium projects – Velvet Wood, West Slope and Slick Rock – underpinned by our wholly-owned Shootaring Canyon mill, one of only 3 licensed conventional mills in the U.S. The longer-term production strategy includes the acquisition of complementary assets with potential to feed additional uranium and vanadium resource to our Shootaring Canyon mill. Much like our Artillery Peak acquisition, we believe that Marysvale and Calf Mesa will complement our existing assets and serve as part of our longer-term strategy.”
As consideration for the claims and associated data, the Sellers will receive US$60,000 in cash and 9 million common shares (the “Consideration Shares”) of Anfield. Completion of the acquisition of the Claims, and the issuance of the Consideration Shares, remains subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. Following issuance, the Consideration Shares will be subject to statutory restrictions on resale for a period of four-months-and-one-day. No finders’ fees or commissions are owing by the Company in connection with the acquisition of the Claims.
About Marysvale
Uranium was discovered in the Marysvale area in 1949 and produced approximately 1.4 million pounds, at a reported average grade of 0.22 %U3O8, of uranium between 1952 and 1967. Mined material was shipped to a government ore-buying station located in Marysvale, Utah (Trigon Exploration Canada Ltd, Technical Report on the Marysvale Property, Newton Mining District, Beaver County District, Utah, U.S.A., 2006).
The Project is located within the Marysvale volcanic field approximately 100 air miles west and north of the Shootaring Canyon mill.
Mineralization is hosted within hydrothermal veins associated with the “Central intrusive” and as supergene enrichment within altered rhyolitic volcanics. Historic mining was dominantly within the vein-type mineralization (Steven, T.A., Cunningham, and Machette, M.N., Integrated Uranium Systems in the Marysvale volcanic field, west-central, Utah, AAPG Studies in Geology No. 13).
Companies such as Energy Fuels Exploration Co. and Philips Uranium Corp. have held claims in the area, while both Philips and Trigon Exploration conducted drill programs.

About Anfield
Anfield is a uranium and vanadium development and near-term production company that is committed to becoming a top-tier energy-related fuels supplier by creating value through sustainable, efficient growth in its assets. Anfield is a publicly traded corporation listed on the TSX-Venture Exchange (AEC-V), the OTCQB Marketplace (ANLDF) and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (0AD). Anfield is focused on its conventional asset centre, as summarized below:
Arizona/Utah/Colorado – Shootaring Canyon Mill
A key asset in Anfield’s portfolio is the Shootaring Canyon Mill in Garfield County, Utah. The Shootaring Canyon Mill is strategically located within one of the historically most prolific uranium production areas in the United States, and is one of only three licensed uranium mills in the United States.
Anfield’s conventional uranium assets consist of mining claims and state leases in southeastern Utah, Colorado, and Arizona, targeting areas where past uranium mining or prospecting occurred. Anfield’s conventional uranium assets include the Velvet-Wood Project, the Frank M Uranium Project, the West Slope Project, as well as the Findlay Tank breccia pipe. A NI 43-101 PEA has been completed for the Velvet-Wood Project. The PEA is preliminary in nature, and includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves and, resultantly, there is no certainty that the included preliminary economic assessment would be realized. All conventional uranium assets are situated within a 200-mile radius of the Shootaring Mill.

Southwestern Utah is home to what may be the largest terrestrial landslide complex known in the world. This is an exciting new discovery and much remains unknown, but the ancient Marysvale gravity slide complex (MGSC) is now the focus of new research to better understand its extent, age, and emplacement mechanics. By way of background, gravity slides are a special class of extremely large and geologically complex landslides several tens to thousands of square miles in extent. Here we refer to them as mega-landslides or slides for simplicity—they are larger and far more interesting than we ever imagined.
The history of this discovery reflects decades of work by dozens of geologists and is outlined in a new technical guide we published in 2019 through the Geological Society of America, The Gigantic Markagunt and Sevier Gravity Slides Resulting from Mid-Cenozoic Catastrophic Mega- Scale Failure of the Marysvale Volcanic Field, Utah, USA. As outlined in that report, we have learned a lot since sharing our initial understanding of these mega-landslides in 2013 and 2016 (see Survey Notes, v. 45, no. 2, and v. 48, no. 1).
What is the Marysvale Gravity Slide Complex?
The Marysvale gravity slide complex comprises three ancient, gigantic landslides. Each slide is made up of volcanic rocks that erupted from Cascade-like stratavolcanoes of the Marysvale volcanic field, and distinctive, interbedded ash-flow tuffs erupted from Yellowstone-like calderas:
Each mega-landslide exhibits the full range of structural features commonly seen in modern landslides, but on an enormous scale. These features include:
How Big is the MGSC?
The MGSC covers more than 3,000 square miles (>8,000 km2), an area nearly the size of Yellowstone National Park, with a volume of slide debris that would nearly fill the Grand Canyon to its rim. The Markagunt slide is the largest among the three mega-slides having an overall length of about 60 miles (96 km) and breadth of 20 miles (32 km), making the deposit at least 1,350 square miles (>3,500 km2) in extent. It is also over a mile (1.6 km) thick in its northern reaches at the breakaway zone in the modern-day Tushar Mountains, tapering southward to several hundred feet thick on the central Markagunt Plateau. Vital statistics of the Sevier and Black Mountains slides are similarly impressive, and runout over the former land surface of each slide was at least 20 miles (32 km).
When did the MGSC Form?
The timing of each mega-landslide emplacement is constrained by the age of the youngest rocks it overlies or deforms, and by the oldest undeformed rocks that overlie it. Currently, our evidence constrains emplacement of the:
The slides thus get younger westward, mimicking the westward progression of volcanism in the volcanic field.
Evidence for Catastrophic Failure
Recognizing most modern landslides is straightforward given their telltale signs of raw scarps, open cracks, hummocky topography, and all-too-often damaged infrastructure. But the MGSC exhibits nothing so obvious. It is old. It is deeply eroded and partly buried by younger deposits and cut by later faults. The MGSC is, by any geologic standard, insanely big—so large that we cannot see it from any single vantage point. Still, key pieces of the puzzle remain, and the picture they paint is one of extraordinary calamity near the height of volcanism of the Marysvale field.
Diagnostic rock types produced by catastrophic collapse of the Marysvale volcanic field include:
These and other diagnostic rock types coupled with the uniformity of movement indicators (skid mark-like grooves and striations at the base of the slides), geologic structures within the slides, the overall geometry of the slides, and age and distribution of rocks involved or not involved, suggest that each mega-landslide represents a single catastrophic emplacement event.
How did the MGSC Form?
Ongoing research will more fully answer when each mega-landslide occurred, what event may have precipitated catastrophic failure, and how such huge volumes of rock moved faster than freeway speeds more than 20 miles (32 km) across the landscape. But for now, we suspect several events came together to set the stage for catastrophic failure of the southern flank of the Marysvale volcanic field.
Idealized Markagunt mega-landslideHere, the trigger is suggested to be pre-caldera inflation of the Mount Belknap area, causing arching of overlying strata and consequent failure on oversteepened slopes. The ramp is where the basal detachment angled upward and “daylighted” as the slide mass moved up and over the former land surface at least 20 miles (32 km). Attenuated strata thinned like a partially spread-out deck of cards, and older-on-younger rock relationships characterize the slide mass in the former land surface area, preserving a stratigraphy inherited from the source area. The Sidney Peaks area is where remnants of the mega-landslides were discovered—note repeated, older-on younger strata.
First, catastrophic failure was preceded by slow, radial spreading of the volcanic field, forming low-angle faults of the unusual Paunsaugunt thrust fault zone south of the field. The thrust faults formed because Earth’s crust simply is not rigid enough to support massive volcanoes—slowly, over thousands to several million years, the volcanic field spread to a larger footprint and thus to a more stable profile.
Second, catastrophic failure was near the end of peak local volcanism. Stratovolcanoes are inherently unstable features—large, steep, massive piles of hydrothermally altered and thus weakened volcanic rock—perched above actively inflating and deflating magma chambers, so it is no wonder that growth and subsequent collapse are typical features of so many stratovolcanoes worldwide (see the new U.S. Geological Survey publication When Volcanoes Fall Down.
Third, the volcanic field was built on a weak foundation of ash-rich sedimentary strata. We surmise that inflation of the volcanic field by intrusion of partially molten rock into the center of the field may have tilted these strata on the southern flank gently southward, providing gently dipping planes in underlying weak strata that would be ideal for sliding.
Finally, multiple volcanoes of the volcanic field failed catastrophically three separate times when its weak foundation could no longer support the growing volcanic mass. Possibly, an earthquake or eruption triggered each of the slides.
Why is the MGSC Important?
The MGSC may be the largest terrestrial landslide complex on Earth and exhibits exceptional evidence of catastrophic emplacement. Only the 49 Ma Heart Mountain mega-landslide in Wyoming is a terrestrial slide of comparable size and it was considered unique until discovery of the MGSC. The MGSC produced mega-landslide structures so large that they may be mistaken for tectonic features—this discovery thus opens the door to re-evaluate other, similar ancient and modern volcanic fields elsewhere in the world that may contain as-yet unrecognized gigantic landslides. Perhaps such mega-slides are more common than geologists once believed? The MGSC also contains the first reported occurrence of landslide-generated pseudotachylyte in North America and one of the few examples known in the world, which shows that emplacement was extremely rapid.
New Research on the MGSC
There is much we do not know about the Marysvale gravity slide complex. Yet our model of gigantic landslides—a holistic view of three types of geologic deformation (extension, simple translation or horizontal movement, and compression) not otherwise directly related to one another in most geologic environments—is a valuable tool to focus efforts to better understand these mega-landslides. Future research will focus on (1) new age and isotopic data to better constrain development of the volcanic field and its repeated partial collapse by catastrophic mega-landslides, (2) geologic mapping to tease out important details about each mega-landslide’s characteristics and history, and (3) analog and computer models to understand the mechanics of sliding such large masses long distances over low slopes.
