Establishing and maintaining effective stewardship requires cooperation between local municipal governments, stakeholder groups, and various management and regulatory agencies. It is only with continued cooperation that we will collectively improve water quality and watershed health in Salt Lake County. Our thanks go to the numerous individuals and organizations that supported and contributed to the development of this plan as critical thinkers, technical experts, and reviewers. In particular, we thank Mayor Ben McAdams and Salt Lake County Council for their continued support of environmental stewardship and integrated watershed planning.

    GeoArabia, Vol. 10, No. 3, 2005 Gulf PetroLink, Bahrain LETTER TO THE EDITOR from Ghaida Al-Sahlan ([email protected]), Kuwait Oil Company, Ahmadi, Kuwait n the recent GeoArabia, Haq and Al-Qahtani (2005) updated the chronostratigraphic Arabian Plate Iframework of Sharland et al. (2001). These studies cite the paper by Yousif and Nouman (1997) to represent the Jurassic type section of Kuwait. Yousif and Nouman published the composite log for the Minagish-27 well (see Figure on page 194) and depicted the Jurassic formations and stages, side-by- side, but only in a generalized manner. In order to refine the ages for this section, I would like to share some preliminary unpublished biostratigraphic and Sr isotope data (see Table and Notes) from analyses by Varol Research (1997 unpublished report), ExxonMobil (1998 unpublished report) and Fugro-Robertson (2004 unpublished report). To convert Sr ages (Ma) to biostages, or biostages to ages, I have used the Geological Time Scale (GTS) 2004 (Gradstein et al., 2004). I thank G.W. Hughes, A. Lomando, M. Miller and O. Varol for their comments. Unit or Boundary Age and Stage Gradstein et al. (2004) Makhul (Offshore) Tithonian-Berriasian (Bio) Base Makhul (N.

The palaeogeography of both areas during the Middle Jurassic 20 shows that there were no elevated landmasses being eroded to produce conglomeratic material in 21 the basins at that time. The low-lying landscape and connected shorelines may have provided 22 connectivity between the two dinosaur populations. 23 The dinosaur fauna of the Hebrides and Cleveland basins has been assessed based primarily 24 on the abundant ichnites found in both areas as well as their skeletal remains.

The Formation’s lowest unit, the Dingi Hill Member has yielded a moderately diversified calcareous nannofossil assembla- ge that includes the marker species of Lotharingius contractus and Triscutum sullivanii of late Early Aalenian age associated with reworked species of Biscutum finchii, Bussonius prinsii, Crucirhabdus primulus, Crepidolithus pliensbachensis, Discorhabdus criotus and D. striatus suggesting an age spanning NJ4a to NJ7 Zones (Early Pliensbachian, Tethyan ammonite Jamesoni Zone to Middle Toarcian, Variabilis Zone). Additionally, samples from four other Kachchh domal localities (Kachchh Mainland: Jara, Jumara and Habo and the Island belt, Waagad) have also yielded reworked Pliensbachian-Toarcian age (~183 Ma) nannotaxa viz. Crepidolithus granulatus, Diductius constans, Mazaganella protensa, Mitrolithus elegans, Parhabdolithus liasicus, Similiscutum orbiculus, and Triscutum tiziense. This nannotaxa age is much earlier than the ammonite-based Earliest Bajocian date (~171.6 Ma) based on the presence of ammonite Calliphylloceras hetero- phylloides (Oppel).

Samples were collected from Armação Nova Bay, Mareta Beach, Cilheta 20 Beach and the Carrapateira outlier. At Armação Nova Bay the Upper Pliensbachian- 21 Lower Toarcian succession proved barren, or yielded sparse, non age-diagnostic 22 palynomorphs. Dinoflagellate cysts are confined to the Upper Bajocian to Upper 23 Callovian sedimentary rocks exposed at Mareta and Cilheta beaches and the Lower 24 Kimmeridgian strata of the Carrapateira outlier. At Mareta Beach, the Upper Bajocian, 25 Bathonian and Callovian produced relatively low to moderate diversity dinoflagellate 26 cyst assemblages. Several key bioevents confirm the Bathonian and Callovian ages of 27 the succession; no age-significant Late Bajocian bioevents were noted.

Yes, he settled this lonely region, with the precious water he found In the sparkling mountain streams and hidden in the ground; He built his homes and cities; and temples toward the sun; But without the precious water, his work might not be done. .**- ste'iA CONTENTS Page Preface .....................................................
