(paper cover) FOEEWOBD The "Lexicon of geologic names of the United States" by M. Grace Wilmarth, published in 1938 and reprinted in 1951 and 1957, met a long standing need and continuing demand for a compilation of geologic names. Plans made for future compilations as new names and revisions appeared were interrupted during the years of World War II. In 1952 a sustained effort was begun toward review of geo logic publications necessary to furnish a background for preparation of a new edition. After the review was brought up to date in 1956, the present compilation was prepared in order to furnish to the geo logic profession, as quickly as possible, some of the essential data concerning the new names that have appeared since 1935. -

Torsten Alvager, Department of Physics, Indiana State University, Terre Haute, Indiana 47809; Ashok Puri, Department of Physics, University of New Orleans, New Orleans, Louisiana and Ramnath Raymond, Department of Physics, Indiana State University, Terre Haute, Indiana 47809. The recent introduction of fiber optical light guides for remote spectroscopic sensing has opened a new era of studies of hostile or otherwise inaccessible environments. The method is also of importance in a variety of other situations such as in studies of solid state systems and systems related to damage and environmental control, as well as in experiments devoted to search for oil and other similar commodities, which is the topic of this investigation. An instrument especially designed for in situ investigations has recently been built at Indiana State University for this purpose. This makes it possible to study scattering as well as fluorescence from samples of interest. Results with model systems indicate that the method is suitable for field use in oil and soil exploration. Bedrock Joint and Fracture Patterns in Indiana: A Progress Report. Curtis H. Ault, Indiana Geological Survey, 611 N. Walnut Grove, Bloomington, Indiana 47405. Bedrock joints and fractures are ubiquitous where bedrock is exposed in Indiana. Recent studies of the patterns, orientation, and density of jointing in Indiana have revealed a consistent east-northeasterly orientation for major jointing and a correspond- ing north-northwesterly orientation for secondary orthogonal jointing. -

roceedings of the o sho onsored by the lllinois State Geological Survey Indiana Geological Survey Kentucky Geological Survey Open-File Report 94-4 Open-File Report 94-1 2 Open-File Report 94-1 2 and the Open-File Report 94-298 The Illinois Basin, which covers about 110,000 square miles in Illinois, Indiana, and Kentucky, con- tains a wealth of energy and industrial- and metallic-mineral resources. These resources are an important constituent of the economies of states located in the basin. Because new deposits of these resources will be needed to sustain and enhance the economies of this region, there is a continued need to further our under- standing of the geology of the basin and how it relates to energy and mineral resources and to environmen- tal problems. In 1989, the Illinois Basin Consortium (IBC), consisting of the Illinois, Indiana, and Kentucky state geological surveys, was formed to advance the understanding of the geology of the Illinois Basin, by coor- dinating the various state survey studies, and by utilizing the surveys' collective expertise. The IBC and the US. Geological Survey entered into a collaborative effort in 1990 to integrate their geochemical and fluid- flow expertise with ongoing state surveys' research. The IBC (surveys) continued to study problems re- lated to the structural formation of the basin, sedimentology of strata filling the basin, and formation and distribution of hydrocarbon, and industrial- and metallic-mineral resources. The USGS focused on aspects of basin-scale fluid flow and its link to regional patterns of diagenesis, sedimentary metal deposits, and hydrocarbon accumulations. -
