    FLYSCH AND MOLASSE OF THE CLASSICAL TACONIC AND ACADIAN OROGENIES: MODELS FOR SUBSURFACE RESERVOIR SETTINGS GERALD M. FRIEDMAN Brooklyn College and Graduate School of the City University of NY, Brooklyn, NY 11210 and Northeastern Science Foundation affiliated with Brooklyn College, CUNY, P.O. Box 746, Troy, NY 12181 ABSTRACT This field trip will examine classical sections of the Appalachians including Cambro-Ordovician basin-margin and basin-slope facies (flysch) of the Taconics and braided and meandering stteam deposits (molasse) of the Catskills. The deep­ water settings are part of the Taconic sequence. These rocks include massive sandstones of excellent reservoir quality that serve as models for oil and gas exploration. With their feet, participants may straddle the classical Logan's (or Emmon 's) line thrust plane. The stream deposits are :Middle to Upper Devonian rocks of the Catskill Mountains which resulted from the Acadian Orogeny, where the world's oldest and largest freshwater clams can be found in the world's oldest back-swamp fluvial facies. These fluvial deposits make excellent models for comparable subsurface reservoir settings. INTRODUCTION This trip will be in two parts: (1) a field study of deep-water facies (flysch) of the Taconics, and (2) a field study of braided- and meandering-stream deposits (molasse) of the Catskills. The rocks of the Taconics have been debated for more than 150 years and need to be explained in detail before the field stops make sense to the uninitiated. Therefore several pages of background on these deposits precede the itinera.ry. The Catskills, however, do not need this kind of orientation, hence after the Taconics (flysch) itinerary, the field stops for the Catskills follow immediately without an insertion of background informa­ tion.

  • Introduction
    Introduction This is the fourteenth edition of Profiles of New York State—Facts, Figures & Statistics for 2,570 Populated Places in New York. As with the other titles in our State Profiles series, it was built with content from Grey House Publishing’s award-winning Profiles of America—a 4-volume compilation of data on more than 43,000 places in the United States. We have included the New York chapter from Profiles of America, and added several new chapters of demographic information and ranking sections, so that Profiles of New York State is the most comprehensive portrait of the state of New York ever published. Profiles of New York State provides data on all populated communities and counties in the state of New York for which the US Census provides individual statistics. This edition also includes profiles of 444 unincorporated places and neighborhoods (i.e. Flushing, Queens) based on US Census data by zip code. This premier reference work includes five major sections that cover everything from Education to Ethnic Backgrounds to Climate. All sections include Comparative Statistics or Rankings. A section called About New York at the front of the book includes detailed narrative and colorful photos and maps. Here is an overview of each section: 1. About New York This 4-color section gives the researcher a real sense of the state and its history. It includes a Photo Gallery, and comprehensive sections on New York’s Government, Timeline of New York History, Land and Natural Resources, New York State Energy Profile and Demographic Maps. These 42 pages, with the help of photos, maps and charts, anchor the researcher to the state, both physically and politically.

Well, think again! The ground that we walk on is full of surprises, if you know where to look. 00:25 As a geologist, the Grand Canyon is perhaps the best place in the world. Every single one of these layers tells its own story about what North America was like when that layer was deposited. So, are you ready for a little time-travelling? 00:38 I’m Kirk Johnson, the director of the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, and I’m taking off on the fieldtrip of a lifetime,… 00:50 Look at that rock there. That is crazy! …to find out, “How did our amazing continent get to be the way it is?” EMILY WOLIN (Geophysicist): Underneath Lake Superior, that’s about 30 miles of volcanic rock. KIRK JOHNSON: Thirty miles of volcanic rock? How did the landscape shape the creatures that lived and died here? Fourteen-foot-long fish, in Kansas. That’s what I’m telling you! 01:14 And how did we turn the rocks of our homeland… Ho-ho. Oh, man! …into riches? This thing is phenomenal. In this episode, we hunt down the clues to our continent’s epic past. 01:26 You can see new land being formed, right in front of your eyes.
