HAUPT 2, H.J. HOFMANN 3 and M.R. WALTER 2 'Department of Geological Sciences, University of California,Santa Barbara, CA 93106 (U.S.A.) 2Bureau of Mineral Resources, Geology and Geophysics, Canberra City, A.C.T., 2601 (Australia) 3Department of Geology, University of Montreal, Montreal, Que. (Canada) INTRODUCTION The most comprehensive bibliography of stromatolite studies to date was compiled by S.M. Awramik, H.J. Hofmann, and M.E. Raaben, and published in the book Stromatolites (M.R. Walter, Editor) in 1976. The second instalment offered here supplements that earlier compilation, bringing it up to date, and adding many older references missed earlier.The 1976 numbering system is continued here.* We welcome information on important refer- ences we may have missed, so that these can be included in the third instalment of the bibliography now in preparation. Our compilation includes references contributed by the CAN/SDI computerized bibliog- raphy (National Research Council of Canada); Hofmann acknowledges financial support from the National Research Council of Canada (Grant no. A7484) for defraying costs of this service. A selective subject index is given on pp. 161--166. BIBLIOGRAPHY 2035 Abate, B., Catalano, R., D'Argenio, B., DiStefano, P. and Riccobono, R., 1977.

  • Late Paleozoic Tectonic and Sedimentologic History of the Penasco Uplift, North-Central New Mexico
    RICE UNIVERSITY LATE PALEOZOIC TECTONIC AND SEDIMENTOLOGIC HISTORY OF THE PENASCO UPLIFT, NORTH-CENTRAL NEW MEXICO by ROY DONALD ADAMS A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE MASTER OF ARTS APPROVED, THESIS COMMITTEE: 0^ (3- /jtd&i obfe B. Anderson, Chairman Assistant Professor pf Geology KT Rudy R. Schwarzer, Adjunct Assistant Professor of GSology John /E. Warme Professor of Geology Donald R. Baker Professor of Geology Houston, Texas May, 1980 ABSTRACT LATE PALEOZOIC TECTONIC AND SEDIMENTOLOGIC HISTORY OF THE PENASCO UPLIFT, NORTH-CENTRAL NEW MEXICO Roy Donald Adams The Paleozoic Peiiasco Uplift, located on the site of the present Nacimiento Mountains of north-central New Mexico, acted as a sediment source and modifier of regional sedimentation patterns from Middle Pennsylvanian to Early Permian time. The earliest history of the uplift is still poorly defined. Orogenic activity may have started as early as the Late Mississippian, or there may have been quiescence until after deposition of the Morrow-age Osha Canyon Formation and prior to deposition of the Atoka-age Sandia Formation. Coarse, arkosic siliciclastic sediments inter- bedded with fossilferious carbonates in the Madera Formation indicate that by early Desmoinesian time the Peiiasco Uplift had risen sufficiently to expose and erode Precambrian rocks. Paleotransport indicators in the arkosic sediments show transport away from the uplift. Throughout the remainder of the Pennsylvanian, the Peiiasco Uplift was a sediment source. The siliciclastic sediments derived from the Peiiasco Uplift formed a wedge that prograded out onto and interfingered with carbonate sediments of a shallow normal marine shelf. A change in paleotransport directions from northeasterly to southwesterly occurs on the east side of the Peiiasco Uplift and is due to the arrival of a flood of siliciclastic sediments derived from the Uncompahgre-San Luis Uplift to the northeast.

  • Message from the New Chairman
    Subcommission on Devonian Stratigraphy Newsletter No. 21 April, 2005 MESSAGE FROM THE NEW CHAIRMAN Dear SDS Members: This new Newsletter gives me the pleasant opportunity to thank you for your confidence which should allow me to lead our Devonian Subcommission successfully through the next four years until the next International Geological Congress in Norway. Ahmed El Hassani, as Vice-Chairman, and John Marshall, as our new Secretary, will assist and help me. As it has been our habit in the past, our outgoing chairman, Pierre Bultynck, has continued his duties until the end of the calendar year, and in the name of all the Subcommission, I like to express our warmest thanks to him for all his efforts, his enthusi- asm for our tasks, his patience with the often too slow progress of research, and for the humorous, well organized and skil- ful handling of our affairs, including our annual meetings. At the same time I like to thank all our outgoing Titular Members for their partly long-time service and I express my hope that they will continue their SDS work with the same interest and energy as Corresponding Members. The new ICS rules require a rather constant change of voting members and the change from TM to CM status should not necessarily be taken as an excuse to adopt the lifestyle of a “Devonian pensioner”. I see no reason why constantly active SDS members shouldn´t become TM again, at a later stage. On the other side, the rather strong exchange of voting members should bring in some fresh ideas and some shift towards modern stratigraphical tech- niques.

Photo P. W. Web, CSE 1989. Access to cliffs and a glacier route (up Hannabreen) often necessitates crossing blocky talus (here Devonian in foreground) and then possibly a pleasanter route up the moraine on to hard glacier ice. Moraine generally affords a useful introduction to the rocks to be traversed along the glacial margin. The dots in the sky are geese training their young to fly in V formation for their migration back to the UK at the end of the summer.

Geology of the Park Program Welcome! We look forward to sharing the geological story of Garden of the Gods with your students. We align with current Colorado Academic Standards for K-5 Earth and Space Science. Goals: Students recognize the exceptional geological wonder of the Garden of the Gods. Students gain a broad understanding of the geological events that shaped the Pikes Peak region Students gain a broad understanding of and appreciation for the science of geology. Students identify the three rock types and the three geological processes. Students recognize the geological formations in the Park, their ages, and composition. 1 Teacher Reference Guide: Basic Geology of Garden of the Gods The Pike’s Peak region has been shaped by millions of years of mountain building and erosion. There have been three different mountain building events in the geological history of this area: 1. The Ancestral Rockies (320-310 million years ago). The erosion of these first Rocky Mountains formed the sedimentary Fountain Formation and the Lyons Sandstone layers. 2. The Laramide Orogeny (70-65 million years ago). This process uplifted the Front Range. The layers seen in the Garden were forced upright as the land broke along the Rampart Range Fault.

Both series were founded by Dr. Bryant Walker, Mr. Bradshaw H. Swales, and Dr. W. W. Newcomb. Occasionally the Museum publishes contributions outside of these series. Beginning in 1990 these are titled Special Publications and Circulars and each is sequentially numbered. All submitted manuscripts to any of the Museum’s publications receive external peer review. The Occasional Papers, begun in 1913, serve as a medium for original studies based principally upon the collections in the Museum. They are issued separately. When a sufficient number of pages has been printed to make a volume, a title page, table of contents, and an index are supplied to libraries and individuals on the mailing list for the series. The Miscellaneous Publications, initiated in 1916, include monographic studies, papers on field and museum techniques, and other contributions not within the scope of the Occasional Papers, and are published separately. Each number has a title page and, when necessary, a table of contents. A complete list of publications on Mammals, Birds, Reptiles and Amphibians, Fishes, I nsects, Mollusks, and other topics is available.

  • GEOLOGY THEME STUDY Page 1
    NATIONAL HISTORIC LANDMARKS Dr. Harry A. Butowsky GEOLOGY THEME STUDY Page 1 Geology National Historic Landmark Theme Study (Draft 1990) Introduction by Dr. Harry A. Butowsky Historian, History Division National Park Service, Washington, DC The Geology National Historic Landmark Theme Study represents the second phase of the National Park Service's thematic study of the history of American science. Phase one of this study, Astronomy and Astrophysics: A National Historic Landmark Theme Study was completed in l989. Subsequent phases of the science theme study will include the disciplines of biology, chemistry, mathematics, physics and other related sciences. The Science Theme Study is being completed by the National Historic Landmarks Survey of the National Park Service in compliance with the requirements of the Historic Sites Act of l935. The Historic Sites Act established "a national policy to preserve for public use historic sites, buildings and objects of national significance for the inspiration and benefit of the American people." Under the terms of the Act, the service is required to survey, study, protect, preserve, maintain, or operate nationally significant historic buildings, sites & objects. The National Historic Landmarks Survey of the National Park Service is charged with the responsibility of identifying America's nationally significant historic property. The survey meets this obligation through a comprehensive process involving thematic study of the facets of American History. In recent years, the survey has completed National Historic Landmark theme studies on topics as diverse as the American space program, World War II in the Pacific, the US Constitution, recreation in the United States and architecture in the National Parks.

Introduction: The “Standard Biofinder” has been developed at the University of Hawaiʻi with the intent of quickly locating biological materials in wide geolog- ical contexts in planetary exploration [1]. The Standoff Biofinder locates bio-fluorescent materials by taking live images that highlight the short lifetime fluorescence emitting objects [2]. Since its creation [3-5], the instru- ment has been proven to distinguish between mineral and biogenic fluorescence, work from standoff dis- tances (1-10 m) in daylight conditions with short meas- urement times (0.1s), and to differentiate between dif- ferent biogenic materials by taking color images. These capabilities could help an exploration rover identify ob- jects of interest for the ‘search for life’ beyond Earth and then dedicate other characterization techniques, such as Raman or LIBS, to determine the molecular and ele- mental composition of the selected targets. For this work, we used the “Color Biofinder” version of the in- strument [5] in combination with time-resolved fluores- cence measurements to assess its capabilities to detect and characterize fossils as biosignatures. Fossils are pre- served remains from biological entities from past geo- logical ages.

  • Mississippian Oolites and Petroleum Reservoirs in the United States—An Overview
    Chapter 1 • Mississippian Oolites and Petroleum Reservoirs in the United States—An Overview Brian D. Keith Indiana Geological Survey and Indiana University Bloomington, Indiana, USA Charles W. Zuppann Indiana Geological Survey Bloomington, Indiana, USA • ABSTRACT A coincidence of tectonic, eustatic, and geochemical conditions resulted in substantial deposits of oolitic limestone during later Mississippian time in the continental United States. These oolitic limestones have formed petrole­ um reservoirs with favorable primary and secondary recovery characteris­ tics. Significant potential reserves in stratigraphic traps remain to be discovered and developed in these reservoirs. INTRODUCTION oolitic limestone deposition on the North American continent was during the Mississippian. Mississippian rocks of the continental U.S. have With the recent emphasis on global-scale geologic been the subject of two previous compilation vol­ processes, we recognize that attention must be given umes by the USGS (Craig and Connor, 1979; U.S. to Mississippian oolitic deposition on a broader scale, Geological Survey, 1979), both concentrating on the seeking to understand the factors that influenced and Mississippian system as a whole, the former on controlled oolitic deposition at that time.
