That’s good info on the rotary kiln. Most kilns I’ve seen are tilted at an angle like 10 to 20 degrees so material can flow through them. The two kilns in the L3 photo look like they are laying horizontal. So, Boilermaker1 asked Jim if these kilns have a stepping system of some sort inside them or an auger that moves the material through the kilns. Haven’t see Jim’s answer yet.
This document at the link below is from 2018, most recent I could find on NE fault lines. There are lots of tables in it which show the fault lines in NE. You will have to scan through this document to find the right diagram to answer your question. In any case, it’s a rather interesting read.
Putz; Cracks in the earth. Here is a the mid continent rift, a rift valley that runs through the great lakes region and into the middle of the U.S. Its a Horst and Graben complex that is filed with debris and Loess and is only visible in Wisconsin Michigan, and Canada. It pretty close to Elk Creek, but is not geologically active.
There is also fault, the Humboldt fault, associated with the Nemaha Ridge (Under the Flint Hills in Kansas.)
he Nemaha Ridge (also called the Nemaha Uplift and the Nemaha Anticline[1]) is located in the Central United States. It is a buried structural zone associated with a granite high in the Pre-Cambrian basement that extends from approximately Omaha, Nebraska to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The ridge is associated with the seismically active Humboldt Fault zone. It is also associated with the Proterozoic Midcontinent Rift System, which extends into northern Kansas about fifty miles west of the Nemaha.[2]
Along the Nemaha Ridge is a series of faults referred to as the "Nemaha Fault Zone".[2][3] The long term uplift along the ridge has been attributed to isostatic uplift due to the anomalously thick crust adjacent to the Midcontinent Rift.[4]
Elk Creek is located on or near the northern end of this uplift.
