SCHWARTZ. DIRECTOR BULLETIN 34 Bibliography of Minnesota Geology BY THEODORA G. MELONE AND LEONARD W. WEIS MINNEAPOLIS· 1951 THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA PRESS Acknowledglnents The following bibliography is limited to titles on the. geology and min­ eralogy of lVlinnesota and is not intended to cover mining and metal­ lurgy. Most of the titles have been taken from Geologic Literature 011 North Am,erica, 1785-1918 and Bibliography of North American Geology, published 1919-1948 as United States Geological Survey Bulletins 746, 747, 823, 937, 938, 949, 952, 958, 968; Annotated Bibliography of Eco­ nomic Geology, 1928-1949 (except 1944-1945, not published); and Bib­ liography of Minnesota Mining and Geology and Supplement by Wini­ fred Gregory, published in 1915 and 1920, respectively, as Minnesota School of Mines Experiment Stations Bulletins 4 and 8. Some refer­ ences were found in private lists and in bibliographies and indexes of societies and journals which ordinarily are not concerned with North American geology. For many valuable suggestions and additions to the bibliography the compilers wish to express their cordial thanks to Dr. George A. Thiel, Chairman of the Geology Department of the University of Minnesota, and Dr. George M. Schwartz, Director of the Minnesota Geological Sur­ vey. Special appreciation is also extended to Mrs. :;\Iarilyn Jensen for her helpful work in typing and proof-reading, and to Mrs. Nancy Press of the University of :Minnesota Press for her technical assistance. T. G. 1\1. L. W. W. v Foreword Active geologic work began in Minnesota in 1872 with the establish­ ment of the Geological and Natural History Survey and the appoint­ ment of N. H. Winchell as state geologist. Articles dealing with the ge­ ology of the state, however, date back over 100 years. In recent years it has become evident that the geologic literature on the state is so very great in volume and found in such diverse publi­ cations that it places a great burden on the new worker in Minnesota geology. It seemed desirable, therefore, to assemble as complete a bibli­ ography as possible so that anyone doing research on the geology of the state could find all references in one place with a consequent saving of time and effort. The problem of assembling and organizing this mass of material was discussed with Miss Theodora Melone, Librarian of the Winchell Li­ brary of Geology at the University of Minnesota. She generously agreed to undertake the work and was ably assisted by :Mr. Leonard W. Weis, a graduate student in the Department of Geology and part-time as­ sistant of the library. This arrangement was approved by Dr. Errett W. McDiarmid, University Librarian, and sincere appreciation is due him for generous assistance in the project. The Director wishes to express his deepest appreciation to Miss Me­ lone and Mr. Weis for unusually painstaking work on a very tedious task. The result of their work will undoubtedly be of great value for years to come. It is the present plan to issue supplements to the bibli­ ography at ten-;year intervals. If anyone using the volume finds an omission of a title, it will be sincerely appreciated if a note to that effect is sent to the Director, Minnesota Geological Survey, University of Min­ nesota, Minneapolis 14, Minnesota.

  • 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.

  • Palaeontologia Electronica DISCRIMINATION OF
    Palaeontologia Electronica http://palaeo-electronica.org DISCRIMINATION OF FENESTRATE BRYOZOAN GENERA IN MORPHOSPACE Steven J. Hageman and Frank K. McKinney ABSTRACT Concepts for generic diagnoses and discrimination of biserial fenestrate Bryozoa (Fenestellidae) have varied historically, but have largely been based on specialized colony forms (e.g., Archimedes), the shape and budding arrangement of chambers and other internal skeletal features such as hemisepta, and occasionally on the pres- ence or absence of discrete characters, such as placement of nodes on the frontal sur- face (e.g., Minilya). The question remains as to whether biserial fenestrate genera represent real biological clades, or whether they are convenient groupings of morpho- types based on untested characters. This study evaluates the distribution of 1075 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) from 15 fenestrate genera with measurements for nine morphometric characters – external features are not emphasized in most generic diagnoses. Here, each OTU represents a composite or idealized individual from a col- ony. Results show that OTUs plotted in principal component space do largely form coherent clusters based on a priori generic assignments. Thus the groupings based on characters other than the ones used to originally define them, add support to the notion of biological significance for recognized genera. The exceptions actually highlight and help resolve known issues. Therefore, we recognize Alternifenestella as a junior syn- onym of the genus Spinofenestella, and propose reassignment of Laxifenestella serrat- ula in Snyder (1991) to Fenestella serratula, and Fenestella sp. 1 in Ernst and Schroeder (2007) as Rectifenestella. We do not advocate that biserial fenestrate generic concepts should be based on the nine external characters used in this study, but rather that they can be used independently to evaluate the coherence of genera based on other discrete characters.

  • The Carboniferous Evolution of Nova Scotia
    Downloaded from http://sp.lyellcollection.org/ by guest on September 27, 2021 The Carboniferous evolution of Nova Scotia J. H. CALDER Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources, PO Box 698, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada B3J 2T9 Abstract: Nova Scotia during the Carboniferous lay at the heart of palaeoequatorial Euramerica in a broadly intermontane palaeoequatorial setting, the Maritimes-West-European province; to the west rose the orographic barrier imposed by the Appalachian Mountains, and to the south and east the Mauritanide-Hercynide belt. The geological affinity of Nova Scotia to Europe, reflected in elements of the Carboniferous flora and fauna, was mirrored in the evolution of geological thought even before the epochal visits of Sir Charles Lyell. The Maritimes Basin of eastern Canada, born of the Acadian-Caledonian orogeny that witnessed the suture of Iapetus in the Devonian, and shaped thereafter by the inexorable closing of Gondwana and Laurasia, comprises a near complete stratal sequence as great as 12 km thick which spans the Middle Devonian to the Lower Permian. Across the southern Maritimes Basin, in northern Nova Scotia, deep depocentres developed en echelon adjacent to a transform platelet boundary between terranes of Avalon and Gondwanan affinity. The subsequent history of the basins can be summarized as distension and rifting attended by bimodal volcanism waning through the Dinantian, with marked transpression in the Namurian and subsequent persistence of transcurrent movement linking Variscan deformation with Mauritainide-Appalachian convergence and Alleghenian thrusting. This Mid- Carboniferous event is pivotal in the Carboniferous evolution of Nova Scotia. Rapid subsidence adjacent to transcurrent faults in the early Westphalian was succeeded by thermal sag in the later Westphalian and ultimately by basin inversion and unroofing after the early Permian as equatorial Pangaea finally assembled and subsequently rifted again in the Triassic.

This is one of many related papers that were included in the 1961 NMGS Fall Field Conference Guidebook. 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.

The most striking condition in manufacturing is the lack of specialization, due, doubtless, in a great measure to the diversified character of the tributary market area, including as it does not only a fertile farming region, but many flourishing towns and mining centers as well; and to the fact that the city now possesses no special advantage in securing any one particular class of raw materials, but is fairly well located with respect to many. Chicago forged ahead in meat-packing in 1860, Cleveland and other more northern cities have a superior location for iron and steel manufacture, and the hard wood forests of the Appalachain plateau, once a valuable asset, are disappearing. By the census of 1920 Cincinnati ranked thirteenth among the cities of the United States with respect to the number of persons employed in manufacturing; and fourteenth with respect to the value of the products of manufacture.

  • Vol. 23/ 4 (1942)
    Revie^vs of Books The Long Ships Passing: The Story of the Great La^es. By WALTER HAVIGHURST. (New York, The Macmillan Company, 1942. viii, 291 p. lUustrations. $3.00.) The subtide of Mr. Havighurst's book. The Story of the Great La\es, is somewhat equivocal, since Lake Ontario is almost ignored and the history of Lake Superior is only partly told. The volume focuses on Lakes Michigan and Huron and on the famous locks at the Sault. Through the last the long ships pass, one every twenty minutes through­ out the eight-months ice-free season, bearing grain and iron ore down the lakes, coal and manufactured articles on their return. For well over a century vessels have carried the commerce of the lakes, vessels ranging from bateaux and sloops and schooners to the steel-hulled passenger boats and freighters of today. This long period of inland trade has seen many a tragic foundering, many a battle against fires, explosions, ice, and No­ vember gales. The men who built the boats, the captains and the crews who navigated them, have a sympathetic chronicler in Mr. Havighurst. But the story of the Great Lakes is a big story, and the present vol­ ume is too short and too impressionistic to tell all of it. The author begins with Jean Nicolet and the French Jesuits, but omits Lahontan, Major Rogers, Jonathan Carver; the story of Perry's victory at Put in Bay is recounted, but there is no mention of Pontiac's savage attack on De­ troit; Douglas Houghton's discovery of copper on the Keweenaw Penin­ sula is given due credit, but the Merritt brothers are overlooked; and there is only one cursory allusion to Grand Portage.

  • Minnesota Statewide Historic Railroads Study Final MPDF
    NPS Form 10-900-a OMB No. 1024-0018 (8-86) Expires 12-31-2005 United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section: F Page 183 Railroads in Minnesota, 1862-1956 Name of Property Minnesota, Statewide County and State Section F. Associated Property Types I. Name of Property Type: Railroad Corridor Historic Districts II. Description The property type “railroad corridor historic district” encompasses the right of way within which a railroad operated and all of the buildings, structures, and objects that worked together for the dedicated purpose of running trains to transport freight and passengers. The elements of railroad corridor historic districts are organized within linear rights of way that range from approximately 30 feet to several hundred feet in width but may extend for hundreds of miles in length. The linear nature of the railroad corridor historic district is an important associative characteristic that conveys the sense of a train traveling to a destination (Figure 1; Note: all figures are located at the end of Section F). The MPDF Railroads in Minnesota, 1862-1956 does not distinguish between railroad mainlines and branch lines. Although, historically, railroad companies identified their railroad corridors as mainlines or branch lines, the definition of mainline varied from company to company, depending on volume of freight, priority on operations time tables, and other factors. In addition, a railroad corridor’s status may have changed over time, depending on operating conditions. For the purposes of evaluating historic significance, a railroad corridor’s status as mainline or branch line is not a determinant; a railroad corridor can be eligible for the National Register regardless of its status as a mainline or branch line.

  • Nickname of Minnesota: North Star State, Gopher State, Land of 10000 Lakes Geography of Minnesota
    GENERAL INFORMATION: Nickname of Minnesota: North Star State, Gopher State, Land of 10,000 lakes Geography of Minnesota: Minnesota is the most northerly of all the states (reaching lat. 49°23'55"N), except for Alaska. Saint Paul, the capital, and its larger twin, Minneapolis, are the two largest cities. Winter locks the land in snow, spring is beautiful but brief, summers are warm and autumn brings brilliant colors to our trees and hillsides. Prehistoric glaciers left marshes, boulder-strewn hills, and rich, gray drift soil stretching from the northern pine wilderness to the broad southern prairies. In the vast pine forest of northern Minnesota, is the beginning of the great river known to the world as the Mighty Mississippi. The state has more than 11,000 lakes and numerous streams and rivers. The beauty of Minnesota's lakes and dense green forests, as seen in Voyageurs National Park, has long attracted vacationers, and there is excellent fishing in the state's many rivers, lakes, and streams. Also of interest to tourists are the Grand Portage and Pipestone National monuments, Itasca State Park (at the headwaters of the Mississippi), and the world's largest open-pit iron mine at Hibbing. The Host City, Minneapolis: Minneapolis is a world-class city, with fabulous shopping, dining and entertainment. The music and theater scene is top-notch, with everything from Broadway shows to local and national bands. Tony Award-winners Theatre de la Jeune Lune, The Children’s Theatre Company and the Guthrie Theater all call Minneapolis home, as well as three historic theatres that make up the Hennepin Theatre District.
