ATLANTA 1946 I LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL DEPARTMENT OF MINES, MINING AND GEOLOGY ATLANTA, February 15, 1946. His Excellency, Ellis Arnall, Governor Commissioner Ex-Officio, State Division of Conservation Through The Honorable Nelson M. Shipp, Assistant Commissioner SIR: I have the honor to submit herewith Georgia Geological Survey Bulletin No. 50, Part I, "Geology of the Coastal Plain of East-Central Georgia." This is the first in a series of bulletins under this title. Others will be published from time to time until all of the Cretaceous area in the State has been mapped. The geology of east central Georgia, the area covered in this report, influences in three essential ways the economy of the State: The Tuscaloosa formation consists of thick beds of sand and gravel that are excellent aquifers. These water-bearing beds will furnish large additional quantities of water of good quality for industrial and municipal uses throughout a belt of 10 to 30 miles in width along the northern mar­ gin of the Coastal Plain of Georgia. Georgia produces approximately 80 per cent of the national output of kaolin. The major portion of this production is from deposits described in this report in Washington, Wilkinson a:nd Twiggs counties. Other com­ mercial minerals mined in this area include bauxite, fuller's earth, lime­ stone, and sand and gravel.

A Librarian LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL Office of the Mississippi Geological Survey University, Mississippi June 29, 1962 Hon. Henry N. Toler, Chairman, and Members of the Geological Survey Board Gentlemen: Herewith is Mississippi Geological Survey Bulletin 94, Geologic Study Along Highway 45 From Tennessee Line to Meridian, Mississippi, by Donald M. Keady. A pressing need for prompt information along the southernmost part of this study area was the deciding factor in the selection of a highway for geologic investigation. This series of reports began in the summer of 1959 and has continued each succeeding summer—this being the third published bulletin. The author follows closely the pattern previously set, in that he describes in detail the geologic units that crop out along the route and points to specific locations for obtaining suitable topping material. He also describes the structural and geomorphic features exhibited. The writer has properly acknowledged the personnel of the Mis sissippi State Highway Department for their cooperation, nevertheless, it is fitting that these men be recognized here—Mr.

Devery Sin ce Bassfie ld fie ld was discovered in 1974, twenty of the Mississippi Bureau of Geology last twenty-nine Hosston/Sligo discoveries have been made in Marion, Jefferson Davis, and Covin gton Counties. In this The Hosston and Sligo Formations are of Early Cretaceous three-county area, the Hosston and Sligo are part of a age and lie stratigraphically above the jurassic-age Cotton (Continued on page 2.) Valley Group and below the Lower Cretaceous Pine Islan d Formation. In Mississippi, the Hosston/Sligo beds dip generally to the southwest and increase in thickness within the Mi ssissippi In terior Salt Basin. The up-dip limit of recognition of the Hosston is found in the northern part of ARKAN S A S the Salt Basi n near the vicinity of Dollar Lake field in southern Leflore County at depths of 6500 feet (Fig. 1 ). North of this field the Hosston is difficult to identify because th e entire Lower Cretaceous section grades into an undifferentiated sequence of discontinuous sands and shales. Within th e Interior Salt Basin, where virtu­ ally all of the Hosston/Sligo oil and gas produ ction is found, the Hosston and Sligo Formations consist of approx­ im ately 3500 feet of alternating sands and shales fo und at depths of 10,000 · 17,000 feet The sandstones are pink and white to gray in color and are associated with maroon, gray, or mottled mudstones as well as occasional limestone nodules and traces of lignite .

Grace Wilmarth, published in 1938 and reprinted in 1951 and 1957, met a long standing need and continuing demand for a compilation of geologic names. Plans made for future compilations as new names and revisions appeared were interrupted during the years of World War II. In 1952 a sustained effort was begun toward review of geo­ logic publications necessary to furnish a background for preparation of a new edition. After the review was brought up to date in 1956, the present compilation was prepared in order to furnish to the geo­ logic profession, as quickly as possible, some of the essential data concerning the new names that have appeared since 1935.

  • Possible Oil and Gas Fields in the Cretaceous Beds of Alabama
    424 OIL AND GAS FIELDS IN THE CRETACEOUS BEDS OF ALABAMA Possible Oil and Gas Fields in the Cretaceous Beds of Alabama BY DORSEY HAGER, * TULf\A, OKI,A. (New York Meeting, February, 1918) Downloaded from http://onepetro.org/TRANS/article-pdf/59/01/424/2176944/spe-918424-g.pdf by guest on 01 October 2021 THE possibility of oil and gas production in Alabama has been little considered as yet. Gas and some oil have been found in northwestern Alabama, near Birmingham, in the Pennsylvanian beds, but the oil and gas possibilities in the Cretaceous beds are not generally appreciated. The recent activity of oil companies in that State has attracted much attention, and in this paper the main structural and the general strati­ graphic features are described. :Four favorable areas are outlined. These contain folds of major interest. 'there are other favorable areas which have not been mapped,l Commercial pools discovered in this area would have the advantage of being near tidewater. Mobile, Ala., on the Gulf of Mexico, would be the logical site for refineries and shipping facilities. A pipe line could readily be laid to that city from the Hatchitigbee and the Jackson areas. The logical outlet for the Geneva and the Gordon areas would be Panama City, ma., on the Gulf of Mexico. TOPOGRAPHY The whole of the area under consideration lies in the Gulf coastal· plain and slopes gently to the southwest and west. The elevations vary from 200 to 400 ft. (60 to 121 m.) above sea level. The streams have . sunk their channels into this gently sloping plain, the main drainage flowing south or southwest into tho Gulf of Mexico.
