  • Fractured Shale Gas Potential in New York
    FRACTURED SHALE GAS POTENTIAL IN NEW YORK David G. HILL and Tracy E. LOMBARDI TICORA Geosciences, Inc., Arvada, Colorado, USA John P. MARTIN New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, Albany, New York, USA ABSTRACT In 1821, a shallow well drilled in the Devonian age shale ushered in a new era for the United States when natural gas was produced, transported and sold to local establishments in the town of Fredonia, New York. Following this discovery, hundreds of shallow shale wells were drilled along the Lake Erie shoreline and eventually several shale gas fields were established southeastward from the lake in the late 1800’s. Since the mid 1900’s, approximately 100 wells have been drilled in New York to test the fractured shale potential of the Devonian and Silurian age shales. With so few wells drilled over the past century, the true potential of fractured shale reservoirs has not been thoroughly assessed, and there may be a substantial resource. While the resource for shale gas in New York is large, ranging from 163-313 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) and the history of production dates back over 180 years, it has not been a major contributor to natural gas production in New York. A review of the history and research conducted on the shales shows that the resource in New York is poorly understood and has not been adequately tested. Other shales such as the Silurian and Ordovician Utica Shale may also hold promise as new commercial shale gas reservoirs. Experience developing shale gas plays in the past 20 years has demonstrated that every shale play is unique.

  • Columnals (PDF)
    2248 22482 2 4 V. INDEX OF COLUMNALS 8 Remarks: In this section the stratigraphic range given under the genus is the compiled range of all named species based solely on columnals assigned to the genus. It should be noted that this range may and often differs considerably from the range given under the same genus in Section I, because that range is based on species identified on cups or crowns. All other abbreviations and format follow that of Section I. Generic names followed by the type species are based on columnals. Genera, not followed by the type species, are based on cups and crowns as given in Section I. There are a number of unlisted columnal taxa from the literature that are indexed as genera recognized on cups and crowns. Bassler and Moodey (1943) did not index columnal taxa that were not new names or identified genera with the species unnamed. I have included some of the omissions of Bassler and Moodey, but have not made a search of the extensive literature specifically for the omitted citations because of time constraints. Many of these unlisted taxa are illustrated in the early state surveys of the eastern and central United States. Many of the columnal species assigned to genera based on cups or crowns are incorrect assignments. An uncertain, but significant, number of the columnal genera are synonyms of other columnal genera as they are based on different parts of the stem of a single taxon. Also a number of the columnal genera are synonyms of genera based on cups and crowns as they come from more distal parts of the stem not currently known to be associated with the cup or crown.

  • Tremichnus in Crinoid Pluricolumnals from the Silurian of Western Estonia (Baltica)
    Carnets Geol. 15 (17) Tremichnus in crinoid pluricolumnals from the Silurian of western Estonia (Baltica) Olev VINN 1 Mark A. WILSON 2 William I. AUSICH 3 Ursula TOOM 4 Abstract: Rare pits attributed to Tremichnus have been found in crinoids from the Silurian of Estonia. The Rhuddanian Tremichnus is the earliest symbiont in crinoid columnals of Baltica. These pits presu- mably were domiciles of unknown organisms. Tremichnus had a negative effect on the host crinoid as demonstrated by swollen columnals. Tremichnus in the Silurian of Estonia is less common than similar traces in the Silurian of nearby Gotland. The most important aspect of this study is the rarity of this interaction in these samples in contrast to most other samples of comparable age elsewhere. These structures have a very patchy distribution. Key Words: Trace fossils; Tremichnus; symbiosis; crinoids; Silurian; Estonia. Citation: VINN O., WILSON M.A., AUSICH W.I. & TOOM U.

Résumé : Tremichnus dans des segments de tiges de crinoïdes du Silurien d'Estonie occiden- tale (bouclier balte).- Quelques petites cavités attribuées à Tremichnus ont été trouvées dans des crinoïdes provenant du Silurien d'Estonie. Ce Tremichnus rhuddanien est le symbiote le plus ancien ob- servé dans des segments de tiges de crinoïdes du bouclier balte. Ces cavités correspondent vraisem- blablement à des habitats d'organismes inconnus. Tremichnus a eu un impact négatif sur le crinoïde hôte comme en attestent les renflements des tiges. Tremichnus est moins fréquent dans le Silurien d'Estonie que des traces semblables dans le Silurien du Gotland voisin.

RÉSUMÉ - Dans la succession silurienne du synclinorium de Moncorvo (NW de la Zone Centre Ibérique, Portugal), des lentilles calcaires ont livré, dans deux localités distinctes, les premiers conodontes siluriens du Portugal. Dans la première localité, Kockelella cf. uariabilis, K. cf. absidata, Ozarkodina confluens, Oz. excauata et Pseudooneotod us beckmanni indiquent le Ludlow s.l. (ou peut-être le Wenlock supérieur ou terminal). Dans la seconde, Oulod us ele- gans, O. cf. cristagalli et Ozarkodina ex gr. remscheidensis indiquent le Pridoli, ce que confirme la présence, dans le même gisement, de scyphocrinoïdes du genre Scyphocrinites, et en particulier les lobolithes à cirrhes. Dans les schistes noirs à nodules sous-jacents aux calcaires, des graptolites montrent l'existence de niveaux du Llandovery moyen et supérieur (Aéronien et Télychien) et du Wenlock. La succession silurienne de Moncorvo apparaît ainsi comme une séquence condensée, analogue, en particulier, à celles qui existent dans la Zone d'Ossa Morena, en Sardaigne et dans certaines régions d'Afrique du Nord. Ces successions sont bien différentes de celles qui caracté- risent les régions centrales et méridionales de la Zone Centre Ibérique où, dans leur partie supérieure, les dépôts siluriens, de faible profondeur, sont beaucoup plus épais et plus riches en matériel terrigène grossier.

  • Biostratigraphy and Paleoecology of the Upper Devonian Ithaca Formation Near Cortland, New York
    Biostratigraphy and Paleoecology of the Upper Devonian Ithaca Formation near Cortland, New York by Jonathan W. Harrington Geological Consultant Groton, New York and W. Graham Heaslip State University College at Cortland Cortland, New York It i s particularly appropriate that we examine the Ithaca Formation in the Cortland area during the Golden Anniversary Meeting of the New York State Geological Association. The rocks of this region are of con­ siderable historical interest, having received attention since the earli­ est days of geolog ical investigation in New York State . In fact, the presence of fossil shells in the Devonian rocks of New York was first noted in 1751 at a hillside outcrop in Cortland County by John Bartram, a member of the Lewis Evans Onondaga expedition (We lls, 1963). The New York Devonian is unique in its completeness, fossil content. numerous outcrops, and relatively undisturbed nature. It is the standard reference section for North America and displays a classic example of facies transition. Stratigraphic and paleontologic investigation over the past century has produced a wealth of infonnation, but uDespite this, perhaps another century of rigorous study wi ll be required before a thor­ ough understanding of its paleontology, lithology, stratigraphy and paleoecology can be attained. n (Rickard. 1964). The early stratigraphic work in the Upper Devonian of New York was done mainly by James Hall. J. M. Clarke. and H. S. Williams between 1840 and 1915 . These workers subdivided the succession, described the faunas and attempted to correlate along the strike. Due to comp l ex interfinger­ ing of the argillaceous western sequence with the thicker arenaceous eastern sequence, correlations proved difficult.
