  • Foraminifera (Forams) in Both the Protozoa Kingdom Or 1) Order Fusilinida (Fusilinids) the Protista Kingdom and You Will Find Variation in the Books
    Kingdom – Protozoa or Protista Note: Forams have been included Phylum – Foraminifera (Forams) in both the Protozoa kingdom or 1) Order Fusilinida (Fusilinids) the Protista kingdom and you will find variation in the books. 2) Genus Nummulites Forams are small (usually less than 1 mm) shelled aquatic species. There are over 10,000 known species. Most are benthic and marine, but pelagic and fresh-water species do exist. The larger forams are excellent index fossils for both age and environment for much of geologic time as their form and structure continuously evolved. They are used in oil industry research in understanding geologic environment of drilled strata. Fusulinida is an extinct order of Foraminifera that lived from the Silurian until the Permian Periods of the Paleozoic Era. They tests (shells) were composed of tightly packed microgranular calcite. Genus Nummulites - A genus of relatively large (0.5-2 inches) modern recent forams found in Eocene to Miocene rocks. The Top pyramids in Egypt are constructed of fossiliferous limestone full view of Nummulites Horizontally bisected 1 inch Kingdom – ANIMALIA 3) Genus Astraeospongia Phylum – Porifera (Sponges) 4) Genus Hydnoceras Sponges are the simplest of animals, lacking tissues or organs. However, sponge cells are integrated and organized for filter feeding, waste deposal, reproduction, and secreting a calcite base that fixes the anchors the animal to substrate. The skeletal structure is often comprised of silica and forms protective spicules. Sponges get their name from the fact that their unicellular food is not taken into a single mouth. It is filtered out of water that passes through many pores, connected by canals, in their bodies.

  • GIS and Geostatistical Analysis of the La Plata Mining District

Cary3 1GIS/CAD Specialist Bikis Water Consultants, LLC 555 RiverGate Lane, Suite B4-82 Durango, CO 81301 970-385-2340 [email protected] 2Associate Professor Department of Geosciences – Fort Lewis College 1000 Rim Drive Durango, CO 81301 970-247-7475 [email protected] 3Visiting Instructor Department of Geosciences – Fort Lewis College 1000 Rim Drive Durango, CO 81301 970-247-7620 [email protected] ABSTRACT The La Plata mining district is located in southwestern Colorado, and contains numerous gold, silver, and copper deposits. Geologic and structural data for the district was obtained from georeferencing and digitizing an historic geologic map. New stream sediment samples were collected at 41 locations throughout the area, and analyzed for metal concentrations. Using ArcGIS’s surface hydrologic modeling tools, individual watersheds were delineated upstream for each sediment sample location. A geodatabase has been created consisting of geologic formations and structures, veins, rock ages, historic mines, and geochemical anomalies associated with the 41 watersheds. The Spatial Analyst extension was used to analyze the data to aid in visualization and quantification of the relationships among geology, structure, and geochemistry. The results provide greater insight into regional geochemical domains of mineralization and in the modeling of spatial associations of known ore deposits within the mining district. 1 Introduction The objective of this project was to build a spatial database of structural, lithological, and geochemical data, so that a spatial model for gold exploration could be created. This model was created using the Fuzzy Logic Method developed by Graeme Bonham-Carter of the Geologic Survey of Canada, and Gary Reins of the USGS.

  • The Proposed Montezuma Forest Reserve Colorado
    THE PROPOSED MONTEZUMA FOREST RESERVE COLORADO ---- Examination, Report and Recommendations by Coert DuBois ---- Bureau of Forestry U. S. Department of Agriculture 1904 A facsimile of a copy acquired from the National Archives and Records Administration, Rocky Mountain Regional Office at Denver Federal Center December 2007 by David Bradford. 2 THE PROPOSED MONTEZUMA FOREST RESERVE, COLORADO ---- By Coert DuBois Forest Assistant, Forest Service ---- Location and Area The area included within the proposed Montezuma Forest Reserve lies in parts of San Miguel, Dolores, San Juan, La Plata, and Montezuma Counties in southwest Colorado, and includes the La Plata, Bear River, and San Miguel mountain ranges. The proposed boundaries include a total acreage of 570,260. Topography The mountains divide the area into three watersheds. On the north slope of the San Miguel Range are the headwaters of several small creeks which flow into the San Miguel River. The east slopes of the Bear River and La Plata Mountains are drained by Cascade, Hermosa, and Junction Creeks, all tributaries of the Animas River. The most important division is the drainage basin of the Mancos and Dolores Rivers, or the south and west slopes of the mountains. The heads of the Mancos River rise high up in the La Plata Mountains and consist of three forks fed by many smaller creeks, which join and form the main Mancos near the south boundary. A low mesa divides the waters of the Mancos from those of the Dolores. The Dolores River, the most important in the southwest part of the State, with the exception of the San Juan, has its sources in all three ranges, being fed by a great many mountain streams, the chief of which are the West Fork, Bear Creek, Beaver Creek, and Lost Canon Creek.

  • Paleobiogeographic Associations Among Mississippian Bryozoans
    PALEOBIOGEOGRAPHIC ASSOCIATIONS AMONG MISSISSIPPIAN BRYOZOANS BY Ryan FitzGerald Morgan A THESIS Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE Geological Sciences 2010 i ABSTRACT PALEOBIOGEOGRAPHIC ASSOCIATIONS AMONG MISSISSIPPIAN BRYOZOANS BY Ryan FitzGerald Morgan Area cladograms produced by parsimony analysis of endemicity coupled with seriation, paired group cluster, principal coordinates, and detrended correspondence analyses demonstrate endemic associations of Mississippian-age bryozoans. These methods identified three major biogeographic associations (North America I, North America II, and Old World Realms), and nine minor associations (Waverly, Keokuk, Warsaw, Burlington, St. Louis, Chester, Tethys I, Tethys II, Russia, Kazakhstan-Siberia Provinces). These associations, along with latitudinal diversity gradients, provide support for an early closure of the tropical seaway (Rheic Ocean) that existed between Laurussia and Gondwana, along with support for faunal shifts due to the onset of Gondwanan glaciation and the restriction of North American faunas from the more eastern Tethyan faunas. ii DEDICATION This thesis is dedicated to my mother, Christena Morgan, in recognition of her encouragement, support, and gift of an inquisitive mind. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to first acknowledge Dr Robert L Anstey, both for all the help and guidance he has supplied over the course of my education and this thesis, and also for providing the push to engage in this field of study. I would also like to acknowledge my wife, Christina L Gurski, who has spent many long hours listening to me ramble about all sorts of ideas, and for providing much needed distraction from this thesis; if not for her it would have been completed ages ago.
