Bryozoan Studies 2019
BRYOZOAN STUDIES 2019 Edited by Patrick Wyse Jackson & Kamil Zágoršek Czech Geological Survey 1 BRYOZOAN STUDIES 2019 2 Dedication This volume is dedicated with deep gratitude to Paul Taylor. Throughout his career Paul has worked at the Natural History Museum, London which he joined soon after completing post-doctoral studies in Swansea which in turn followed his completion of a PhD in Durham. Paul’s research interests are polymatic within the sphere of bryozoology – he has studied fossil bryozoans from all of the geological periods, and modern bryozoans from all oceanic basins. His interests include taxonomy, biodiversity, skeletal structure, ecology, evolution, history to name a few subject areas; in fact there are probably none in bryozoology that have not been the subject of his many publications. His office in the Natural History Museum quickly became a magnet for visiting bryozoological colleagues whom he always welcomed: he has always been highly encouraging of the research efforts of others, quick to collaborate, and generous with advice and information. A long-standing member of the International Bryozoology Association, Paul presided over the conference held in Boone in 2007. 3 BRYOZOAN STUDIES 2019 Contents Kamil Zágoršek and Patrick N.

The Wristen of the Permian Basin: Effect of Tectonics on Patterns In
THE WRISTEN OF THE PERMIAN BASIN: EFFECT OF TECTONICS ON PATTERNS OF DEPOSITION, DIAGENESIS, AND RESERVOIR DEVELOPMENT IN THE LATE SILURIAN Stephen C. Ruppel Bureau of Economic Geology Jackson School of Geosciences The University of Texas at Austin Austin, Texas ABSTRACT Rocks of the Upper Silurian Wristen Group display a range in facies and depositional style that contrasts markedly with the more homogeneous character of the underlying Middle to Lower Silurian Fusselman Formation. The Wristen contains distinct (1) shallow-water platform (Fasken Formation) and (2) deeper water, outer platform to slope carbonate facies (Frame and Wink Formations) that document crustal downwarping of the southern margin of the Laurentian paleocontinent during the Middle Silurian. Deeper water facies of the Frame and Wink Formations dominate the more southerly areas of the Wristen subcrop in the Permian Basin and consist of nodular mudstones and wackestones (Wink) and carbonate debris flows and shales (Frame). Wristen platform facies are assigned to the Fasken Formation and include platform-margin carbonate buildup successions and a complex variety of middle to inner platform facies ranging from small carbonate buildup facies to skeletal wackestones and packstones to tidal-flat complexes. Hydrocarbon reservoirs are restricted to the Fasken Formation; more than 1.2 billion barrels of oil has been produced. A large volume of oil (more than 1.8 billion barrels) remains as a target for improved characterization of reservoir facies and architecture. The models and data presented here provide an important basis for better understanding of this complex depositional system. 1 INTRODUCTION The Silurian of the Permian Basin constitutes a thick section (as much as 2,000 ft) of carbonate platform, platform-margin, and slope rocks. -

Stratigraphy and Sedimentary Tectonics CHAPTERS ORDOVICIAN ALLAN M. THOMPSON INTRODUCTION Department of Geology University of Delaware This chapter contains a summary of lithologic, Newark, DE 19716 facies, and temporal relationships of sedimentary rocks of Ordovician age in Pennsylvania west and northwest of the Martie Line (Figure 5-1). Ordovician sedimentary rocks occur only in the subsurface of northern and western Pennsylvania (Fettke, 1961; Wagner, 1966b) and crop out in cen tral and southeastern Pennsylvania (Figure 5-1). In central and south-central Pennsylvania, the Ridge and Valley belt contains a nearly complete Ordovician section. The Great Valley contains predominantly Lower and Middle Ordovician strata. The east-central part of the Great Valley contains allochthonous Cam brian to Middle Ordovician rocks of the Hamburg klippe; these rocks have been compared to the Ta conian allochthons of eastern New York and western New England (Rodgers, 1970; Lash and others, 1984). The Piedmont Lowland contains carbonates and shale of Early and possibly Middle Ordovician age (Gobn, 1978). Possibly coeval rocks of the Glenarm Super group, which occur southeast of the Martic Line (Fig ure 5-1), are penetratively deformed and variably metamorphosed (see Chapters 3A and 4). Some were assigned Early Ordovician ages by Berg, McInerney, and others (1986), but the evidence is equivocal. -
Biostratigraphy and Paleoecology of the Upper Devonian Ithaca Formation Near Cortland, New York
Biostratigraphy and Paleoecology of the Upper Devonian Ithaca Formation near Cortland, New York by Jonathan W. Harrington Geological Consultant Groton, New York and W. Graham Heaslip State University College at Cortland Cortland, New York It i s particularly appropriate that we examine the Ithaca Formation in the Cortland area during the Golden Anniversary Meeting of the New York State Geological Association. The rocks of this region are of con siderable historical interest, having received attention since the earli est days of geolog ical investigation in New York State . In fact, the presence of fossil shells in the Devonian rocks of New York was first noted in 1751 at a hillside outcrop in Cortland County by John Bartram, a member of the Lewis Evans Onondaga expedition (We lls, 1963). The New York Devonian is unique in its completeness, fossil content. numerous outcrops, and relatively undisturbed nature. It is the standard reference section for North America and displays a classic example of facies transition. Stratigraphic and paleontologic investigation over the past century has produced a wealth of infonnation, but uDespite this, perhaps another century of rigorous study wi ll be required before a thor ough understanding of its paleontology, lithology, stratigraphy and paleoecology can be attained. n (Rickard. 1964). The early stratigraphic work in the Upper Devonian of New York was done mainly by James Hall. J. M. Clarke. and H. S. Williams between 1840 and 1915 . These workers subdivided the succession, described the faunas and attempted to correlate along the strike. Due to comp l ex interfinger ing of the argillaceous western sequence with the thicker arenaceous eastern sequence, correlations proved difficult. -
