Annual NMGS Fall Field Conference Guidebooks Every fall since 1950, the New Mexico Geological Society (NMGS) has held an annual Fall Field Conference that explores some region of New Mexico (or surrounding states). Always well attended, these conferences provide a guidebook to participants. Besides detailed road logs, the guidebooks contain many well written, edited, and peer-reviewed geoscience papers. These books have set the national standard for geologic guidebooks and are an essential geologic reference for anyone working in or around New Mexico. Free Downloads NMGS has decided to make peer-reviewed papers from our Fall Field Conference guidebooks available for free download. Non-members will have access to guidebook papers two years after publication. Members have access to all papers. This is in keeping with our mission of promoting interest, research, and cooperation regarding geology in New Mexico. However, guidebook sales represent a significant proportion of our operating budget. Therefore, only research papers are available for download. Road logs, mini-papers, maps, stratigraphic charts, and other selected content are available only in the printed guidebooks.

  • Chapter 5. Paleozoic Invertebrate Paleontology of Grand Canyon National Park
    Chapter 5. Paleozoic Invertebrate Paleontology of Grand Canyon National Park By Linda Sue Lassiter1, Justin S. Tweet2, Frederick A. Sundberg3, John R. Foster4, and P. J. Bergman5 1Northern Arizona University Department of Biological Sciences Flagstaff, Arizona 2National Park Service 9149 79th Street S. Cottage Grove, Minnesota 55016 3Museum of Northern Arizona Research Associate Flagstaff, Arizona 4Utah Field House of Natural History State Park Museum Vernal, Utah 5Northern Arizona University Flagstaff, Arizona Introduction As impressive as the Grand Canyon is to any observer from the rim, the river, or even from space, these cliffs and slopes are much more than an array of colors above the serpentine majesty of the Colorado River. The erosive forces of the Colorado River and feeder streams took millions of years to carve more than 290 million years of Paleozoic Era rocks. These exposures of Paleozoic Era sediments constitute 85% of the almost 5,000 km2 (1,903 mi2) of the Grand Canyon National Park (GRCA) and reveal important chronologic information on marine paleoecologies of the past. This expanse of both spatial and temporal coverage is unrivaled anywhere else on our planet. While many visitors stand on the rim and peer down into the abyss of the carved canyon depths, few realize that they are also staring at the history of life from almost 520 million years ago (Ma) where the Paleozoic rocks cover the great unconformity (Karlstrom et al. 2018) to 270 Ma at the top (Sorauf and Billingsley 1991). The Paleozoic rocks visible from the South Rim Visitors Center, are mostly from marine and some fluvial sediment deposits (Figure 5-1).

  • Different Triggers for the Two Pulses of Mass Extinction Across the Permian
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Diferent triggers for the two pulses of mass extinction across the Permian and Triassic boundary Guoshan Li1,2, Wei Liao2,3, Sheng Li2,4, Yongbiao Wang2* & Zhongping Lai1* Widespread ocean anoxia has been proposed to cause biotic mass extinction across the Permian– Triassic (P–Tr) boundary. However, its temporal dynamics during this crisis period are unclear. The Liangfengya section in the South China Block contains continuous marine sedimentary and fossil records. Two pulses of biotic extinction and two mass extinction horizons (MEH 1 & 2) near the P– Tr boundary were identifed and defned based on lithology and fossils from the section. The data showed that the two pulses of extinction have diferent environmental triggers. The frst pulse occurred during the latest Permian, characterized by disappearance of algae, large foraminifers, and fusulinids. Approaching the MEH 1, multiple layers of volcanic clay and yellowish micritic limestone occurred, suggesting intense volcanic eruptions and terrigenous infux. The second pulse occurred in the earliest Triassic, characterized by opportunist-dominated communities of low diversity and high abundance, and resulted in a structural marine ecosystem change. The oxygen defciency inferred by pyrite framboid data is associated with biotic declines above the MEH 2, suggesting that the anoxia plays an important role. Abbreviations GSSP Global stratotype section and point MEH Mass extinction horizon PTB Permian–Triassic boundary PTME Permian–Triassic mass extinction SEM Scanning electron microscope SCB South China Block Te Permian–Triassic (P–Tr) mass extinction 1 (~ 252 Ma)2, destroyed both terrestrial and marine life 3 and killed more than 90% of all species on Earth 1,4.

  • The First Evidence of Permian–Triassic Shallow-Marine
    Swiss J Geosci (2016) 109:401–413 DOI 10.1007/s00015-016-0233-4 The first evidence of Permian–Triassic shallow-marine transitional deposits in northern Croatia: Samoborsko Gorje Hills 1 1 2 Karmen Fio Firi • Jasenka Sremac • Igor Vlahovic´ Received: 14 January 2016 / Accepted: 2 November 2016 / Published online: 18 November 2016 Ó Swiss Geological Society 2016 Abstract Permian–Triassic successions occur throughout dolowackestones containing peloids and sparse, smaller the world, but well-exposed transitional sequences are foraminiferans.

  • Carboniferous–Permian) of South Spitsbergen
    vol. 30, no. 3, pp. 193–230, 2009 doi: 10.4202/ppres.2009.10 Foraminifers from the Treskelodden Formation (Carboniferous–Permian) of south Spitsbergen Błażej BŁAŻEJOWSKI Instytut Paleobiologii PAN, Twarda 51/55, 00−818 Warszawa, Poland <[email protected] > Abstract: The organodetritic, sandy limestones of the Treskelodden Formation (Late Gzhelian to Early Artinskian) investigated in outcrops at Treskelen Peninsula, Hyrnefjellet mount and Polakkfjellet mount of south Spitsbergen, contain rich foraminiferal assem− blages. Fifty eight foraminiferal species of twenty three genera, including two new species (Hemigordius hyrnefjelleti sp. nov. and Midiella arctica sp. nov.) have been identified. Three foraminiferal zones have been defined, with ages of Late Asselian (Pseudofusulinella occidentalis), Sakmarian (Midiella ovata – Calcitornella heathi) and Early Artinskian (Hemigordius hyrnefjelleti – Midiella arctica). Sedimentary features and the biotic history of the studied succession records a Late Paleozoic cooling trend that stays in accordance with Pangaea’s shift to the north. Key words: Arctic, Svalbard, paleontology (foraminifers), biostratigraphy, Late Paleozoic. Introduction This paper documents the distribution of small foraminifers and fusulinaceans in three Upper Carboniferous–Lower Permian stratigraphic sections from south Spitsbergen. Late Paleozoic smaller foraminifers have received comparatively lit− tle attention in comparison with the fusulinaceans and do not figure prominently in correlation schemes. Sosipatrova (1967, 1969) presented the first stratigraphic scheme for the Upper Paleozoic deposits in the central Spitsbergen, and described many new species and genera of small foraminifers and fusulinaceans. The Polish Geological and Paleontological Spitsbergen Expeditions of 1957–1960 (Birken− majer 1964) and 1974–1979 (Biernat and Szymańska 1982) brought new material from south Spitsbergen, and the foraminifers were mentioned by Liszka (1964) and Peryt and Małkowski (1976).
