Bv JOHN M. NICKLES. INTRODUCTION. The bibliography of North American geology, including paleon­ tology, petrology, and mineralogy, for the year 1918 follows the plan and arrangement of its .immediate predecessors. It includes publica­ tions bearing on the geology of the Continent of North America and adjoining islands; also Panama and the Hawaiian Islands. Papers by American writers on the geology of other parts of the world are not included. Textbooks and papers general in character by Ameri­ can authors are included; those by foreign authors are excluded un­ less they appear in American publications. As heretofore, the papers, with full title and medium of publica­ tion and explanatory note .when the title is not fully self-explanatory, are listed under the authors, arranged in alphabetic order. The author list is followed by an index to the literature listed. In this index the entries in one alphabet are of three lands first, subject, Avith various subdivisions, to enable the specialist to ascertain readily all the papers bearing on a particular subject or area; second, titles of papers, many of them, abbreviated or inverted, under their leading words; and third, cross references, which have been freely used to avoid too much repetition. The subjects have been printed in black- faced type, the titles of papers and cross references in ordinary type. As it may not be always obvious which subject headings have been adopted, an outline of those used immediately precedes the index. The bibliography of North American geology is comprised in the following bulletins of the United States Geological Survey: No. 127 (1732-1892); Nos. 188 and 189 (1892-1900); No. 301 (1901-1905); No. 372 (1906-7); No. 409 (1908); No. 444 (1909); No. 495 (1910); No. 524 (1911); No. 545 (1912); No. 584 (1913); No. 617 (1914); No. 645 (1915) ; No. 665 (1916); No. 684 (1917); and No. 698 (1918). 8 r SERIALS EXAMINED.

A geologic study, both field and laboratory, was made of the 12,000 foot thickness of steeply dipping Freda for­ mation exposed along this river. The field study Includes mapping of sedimentary structures In an effort to determine the dominant current directions during deposition of the formation. Pebble and quartz grain orientation as well as heavy mineral and rock composition analyses were made In the laboratory to supplement the field work.

  • Abrupt Facies Changes Across a Flexural Depocentre
    Stratigraphy and Sedimentology of the Peace River Formation: Abrupt Facies Changes across a Flexural Depocentre Robin Buckley* Department of Earth Sciences, University of Western Ontario London, Ontario, Canada N6A 5B7 [email protected] Jessica Krawetz Canadian Natural Resources Limited, Suite 2500, 855-2nd Street SW, Calgary, Alberta, T2P 4J8. and A. Guy Plint Department of Earth Sciences, University of Western Ontario London, Ontario, Canada, N6A 5B7 Abstract In northeastern British Columbia and northwestern Alberta, progradational shoreface sandstones of the Middle Albian Cadotte Member of the Peace River Formation are capped by a subaerial unconformity that defines the base of the Paddy Member. Towards the north, the clean, medium- to coarse-grained sandstones of the Cadotte Member pass laterally, over ~9 km, into hummocky cross-stratified (HCS) glauconitic sandstones interbedded with silty bioturbated mudstones. This facies transition trends ENE-WSW and can be mapped for over 180 km. The Paddy Member represents three main depositional environments: Coastal plain and brackish lagoonal deposits are represented by paleosols, mudstones with brackish- and freshwater molluscs, channel fills, crevasse splays and coals. These facies thicken and become progresssively more terrestrial towards the Foothills in the SW. Nonmarine deposits pass laterally northward into a belt of clean sandstone characterized by parallel lamination and cross bedding with Skolithos and Ophiomorpha suggestive of deposition in marine shoreface. The shoreface sandstones trend ENE-WSW and pass abruptly northward into heterolithic glauconitic sandstone and mudstone deposits typified by HCS and a Cruziana ichnofauna, indicative of a shallow shelf. The lateral facies change from shoreface sandstone into offshore HCS facies is similar in character, and parallel to that of the underlying Cadotte shoreface.
