The construction of the chart was under the supervision of Frank E. Kottlowski, and authors of the columns prepared individual data sheets for each of the stratigraphic units that appears in the geological columns. This is a presentation of the documentation records prepared by the authors of the first five columns of the chart. Contributing authors of the columns were: G. Haxel, R. A. Knepp, S. J. Rey­ nolds, S. Thompson III, and J. Wright. The COSUNA project was under the direction of Orlo E. Childs. The Correlation of Stratigraphic Units of North America (COSUNA) was a project of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists which has resulted in the publication of sixteen correlation charts depicting modern concepts of the stratigraphy of our nation. On the Southwestern/Southwestern Mid-Continent (SSMC) Correlation Chart 31 complete stratigraphic columns are shown, representing all of the Geological Provinces of the re­ gion. Organized by columns numbered from left to right, the Data Sheet Records (each with its own unique Reference Number) of each column are shown here as they are presented on diskettes for use on Personal Computers. Copies of the diskettes are available from the American Association of Petroleum Geologists. These Records are meant to supplement the COSUNA chart, by presenting useful documentation of the information on which the columns were con­ structed by authors of the chart. It should be noted that some of the names of Stratigraphic Units are presented within--quotation marks. This means that there is some question about the applica­ tion of tFi'eSe strat~phic names to the unit, and that the name may be incorrectly

The age assigned to the Kinney Brick Quarry (early-middle Virgilian) has long been based more on its inferred lithostratigraphic position than on biostratigraphic indicators at the quarry. We have developed three datasets —-stratigraphic position, fusulinids and conodonts— that in- dicate the Kinney Brick Quarry is older, of middle Missourian (Kasimovian) age.

  • Chapter 2 Paleozoic Stratigraphy of the Grand Canyon
    CHAPTER 2 PALEOZOIC STRATIGRAPHY OF THE GRAND CANYON PAIGE KERCHER INTRODUCTION The Paleozoic Era of the Phanerozoic Eon is defined as the time between 542 and 251 million years before the present (ICS 2010). The Paleozoic Era began with the evolution of most major animal phyla present today, sparked by the novel adaptation of skeletal hard parts. Organisms continued to diversify throughout the Paleozoic into increasingly adaptive and complex life forms, including the first vertebrates, terrestrial plants and animals, forests and seed plants, reptiles, and flying insects. Vast coal swamps covered much of mid- to low-latitude continental environments in the late Paleozoic as the supercontinent Pangaea began to amalgamate. The hardiest taxa survived the multiple global glaciations and mass extinctions that have come to define major time boundaries of this era. Paleozoic North America existed primarily at mid to low latitudes and experienced multiple major orogenies and continental collisions. For much of the Paleozoic, North America’s southwestern margin ran through Nevada and Arizona – California did not yet exist (Appendix B). The flat-lying Paleozoic rocks of the Grand Canyon, though incomplete, form a record of a continental margin repeatedly inundated and vacated by shallow seas (Appendix A). IMPORTANT STRATIGRAPHIC PRINCIPLES AND CONCEPTS • Principle of Original Horizontality – In most cases, depositional processes produce flat-lying sedimentary layers. Notable exceptions include blanketing ash sheets, and cross-stratification developed on sloped surfaces. • Principle of Superposition – In an undisturbed sequence, older strata lie below younger strata; a package of sedimentary layers youngs upward. • Principle of Lateral Continuity – A layer of sediment extends laterally in all directions until it naturally pinches out or abuts the walls of its confining basin.
