Koch State Geologist and Director 123 North Capitol Street Iowa City, Iowa 52242 IOWA GEOLOGICAL SURVEY WATER-SUPPLY BULLETIN NO. 13 1983 HYDROGEOLOGY AND STRATIGRAPHY OF THE DAKOTA FORMATION IN NORTHWEST IOWA J. A. Munter G. A. Ludvigson B. J. Bunker Iowa Geological Survey Iowa Geological Survey Donald L. Koch Director and State Geologist 123 North Capitol Street Iowa City, Iowa 52242 Foreword An assessment of the quantity and quality of water available from the Dakota (Sandstone) Formation 1n northwest Iowa is presented in this report. The as sessment was undertaken to provide quantitative information on the hydrology of the Dakota aquifer system to the Iowa Natural Resources Council for alloca tion of water for irrigation, largely as a consequence of the 1976-77 drought. Most area wells for domestic, livestock, and irrigation purposes only partial ly penetrated the Dakota Formation. Consequently, the long-term effects of significant increases in water withdrawals could not be assessed on the basis of existing wells. Acquisition of new data was based upon a drilling program designed to penetrate the entire sequence of Dakota sediments at key loca tions, after a thorough inventory and analysis of existing data. Definition of the distribution, thickness, and lateral and vertical changes in composition of the Dakota Formation has permitted the recognition of two mem bers. Additionally, Identification of the rock units that underlie the Dakota Formation has contributed greatly to our knowledge of the regional geology of northwest Iowa and the upper midwest.

  • Variability of Nanopore Systems in the Lincoln Limestone, Denver-Julesburg Basin, Colorado, Usa
    VARIABILITY OF NANOPORE SYSTEMS IN THE LINCOLN LIMESTONE, DENVER-JULESBURG BASIN, COLORADO, USA By Brandon Franklin Werner Chase B.A., University of Colorado, Boulder, 2016 Undergraduate Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Undergraduate School of the University of Colorado’s Department of Geological Sciences 2016 Committee: David Budd – Geological Sciences – Advisor Charles Stern – Geological Sciences Tyler Lansford - Classics ABSTRACT: With a shift to exploiting unconventional petroleum plays in the United States to support energy consumption, understanding the nanopore systems in those unconventional resources becomes important for future exploitation. The goal of this study is to characterize the pore systems of the Cretaceous Lincoln Limestone found in the Denver-Julesburg (DJ) Basin in order to test the hypothesis that lithologic variability has a control on pore characteristics and total porosity. The Lincoln Limestone represents a possible reservoir interval in close proximity to a source interval, the Hartland Shale, which directly overlies it, thus making it a potentially profitable future exploration target. Pore networks in the Lincoln were characterized using AR-milled rock surfaces run through a scanning electron microscope (SEM) for image capture, image analysis with Avizio 9 software, and mineralogical characterization by X- Ray fluorescence (XRF). Seven samples were chosen for analysis from a single core taken from one well in the DJ basin. Five of the samples span the roughly 70-90 ft thick Lincoln Limestone and the other two come from right above and right below the Lincoln. The seven samples span the range of lithologic and porosity variability in the Lincoln Limestone. They have normalized volumes of carbonate that range from 6.0% to 70.6% (mostly as calcite); clay content ranges from 14.8% to 55.2%.

  • A Revised Taxonomy of the Iguanodont Dinosaur Genera and Species
    ARTICLE IN PRESS + MODEL Cretaceous Research xx (2007) 1e25 www.elsevier.com/locate/CretRes A revised taxonomy of the iguanodont dinosaur genera and species Gregory S. Paul 3109 North Calvert Station, Side Apartment, Baltimore, MD 21218-3807, USA Received 20 April 2006; accepted in revised form 27 April 2007 Abstract Criteria for designating dinosaur genera are inconsistent; some very similar species are highly split at the generic level, other anatomically disparate species are united at the same rank. Since the mid-1800s the classic genus Iguanodon has become a taxonomic grab-bag containing species spanning most of the Early Cretaceous of the northern hemisphere. Recently the genus was radically redesignated when the type was shifted from nondiagnostic English Valanginian teeth to a complete skull and skeleton of the heavily built, semi-quadrupedal I. bernissartensis from much younger Belgian sediments, even though the latter is very different in form from the gracile skeletal remains described by Mantell. Currently, iguanodont remains from Europe are usually assigned to either robust I. bernissartensis or gracile I. atherfieldensis, regardless of lo- cation or stage. A stratigraphic analysis is combined with a character census that shows the European iguanodonts are markedly more morpho- logically divergent than other dinosaur genera, and some appear phylogenetically more derived than others. Two new genera and a new species have been or are named for the gracile iguanodonts of the Wealden Supergroup; strongly bipedal Mantellisaurus atherfieldensis Paul (2006. Turning the old into the new: a separate genus for the gracile iguanodont from the Wealden of England. In: Carpenter, K. (Ed.), Horns and Beaks: Ceratopsian and Ornithopod Dinosaurs.

  • The Pro-Ostracum and Primordial Rostrum at Early Ontogeny of Lower Jurassic Belemnites from North-Western Germany
    Coleoid cephalopods through time (Warnke K., Keupp H., Boletzky S. v., eds) Berliner Paläobiol. Abh. 03 079-089 Berlin 2003 THE PRO-OSTRACUM AND PRIMORDIAL ROSTRUM AT EARLY ONTOGENY OF LOWER JURASSIC BELEMNITES FROM NORTH-WESTERN GERMANY L. A. Doguzhaeva1, H. Mutvei2 & W. Weitschat3 1Palaeontological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences 117867 Moscow, Profsoyuznaya St., 123, Russia, [email protected] 2 Swedish Museum of Natural History, Department of Palaeozoology, S-10405 Stockholm, Sweden, [email protected] 3 Geological-Palaeontological Institute and Museum University of Hamburg, Bundesstrasse 55, D-20146 Hamburg, Germany, [email protected] ABSTRACT The structure of pro-ostracum and primordial rostrum is presented at early ontogenic stages in Lower Jurassic belemnites temporarily assigned to ?Passaloteuthis from north-western Germany. For the first time the pro-ostracum was observed in the first camerae of the phragmocone. The presence of a pro-ostracum in early shell ontogeny supports Naef”s opinion (1922) that belemnites had an internal skeleton during their entire ontogeny, starting from the earliest post-hatching stages. This interpretation has been previously questioned by several writers. The outer and inner surfaces of the juvenile pro-ostracum were studied. The gross morphology of these surfaces is similar to that at adult ontogenetic stages. Median sections reveal that the pro-ostracum consists of three thin layers: an inner and an outer prismatic layer separated by a fine lamellar, predominantly organic layer. These layers extend from the dorsal side of the conotheca to the ventral side. The information obtained herein confirms the idea that the pro-ostracum represents a structure not present in the shell of ectocochleate cephalopods (Doguzhaeva, 1999, Doguzhaeva et al.
