Geology Alumni Field Trip

The SIU Geology Department is now organizing its 1st annual Geology Alumni Field Trip during Thanksgiving week of 2012. Entitled "Hawaii: Lava and Lore," this will be a 7-day, 6-night trip to the Big Island of Hawaii. The trip will visit Kilauea, Mauna Loa, Mauna Kea, and other geologic (and some touristic) features of the island. If there is an active and accessible lava flow at that time, trip participants will visit the flow.

Russell R. Dutcher received the Gordon H. Wood Jr. Memorial Award of the Obituary Eastern Section of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists for outstanding contributions to the science of coal By Jack Crelling for the International Journal of Coal geology and in recognition of a long and distinguished Petrology teaching career.

Russell R. Dutcher, an outstanding professor, a talented researcher, a wise administrator, and a distinguished editor of The International Journal of Coal Geology, died on the 15th of February 2011 in Carbondale, IL after a short illness. He was born Oct. 28, 1927, in Brooklyn, NY and was raised in Montclair, NJ and in Sheffield, MA where he graduated from Berkshire School in 1945. He earned his B.A. degree in geology in 1951 from University of Connecticut, his M.S. degree in geology in 1953 from University of Massachusetts and his Ph. D. degree in geology from the Pennsylvania State University in 1960. He then became the assistant director of the Coal Research Section at Penn State where he worked closely with William Spackman. He became a faculty member in the Department of Geology and Geophysics at Penn State in 1963. In 1970, he joined the faculty of Southern Illinois University Carbondale (SIUC) as chair of the Department of Geology. He established the Coal Characterization Laboratory in the department. He was also instrumental in starting the Coal Research Center at SIUC and served as its first director. In 1983 he was appointed Dean of the College of Science at SIUC and served in that position until his retirement in 1993.

His main areas of research were coal carbonization, coal Russell R. Dutcher metamorphism, applied coal petrology, and coalbed methane. His research on coal metamorphism due to igneous activity on He viewed professional service as a responsibility and served coal seams is still cited and still being followed up by current on a number of university, government, civic, and professional researchers. He did some of the earliest work using the committees and organizations. He served as both vice- electron microprobe on coal and mineral matter as well as president and president of the Coal Geology Division of the using laser-mass spectrometry for coal analysis. He also did Geological Society of America, the Society for Organic innovative studies on the microhardness of macerals and high Petrology, the Eastern Section of the American Association of temperature and pressure experimental studies of anthracite Petroleum Geologists, the SIUC chapter of the Society of coals. He published 39 journal papers on these topics. He Sigma Xi, the Midwest Coal Section of the American Institute edited the American Society for Testing and Materials Special of Mining, Metallurgical, and Petroleum Engineers, and the Technical Publication 661, Field Description of Coal and co- Yellowstone-Bighorn Research Association. He also served edited the Geological Society of America Special Paper No. in positions in the American Society for Testing and Materials 153, Carbonaceous Materials as Indicators of Metamorphism. and the American Institute of Professional Geologists. In He also co-edited both the road log and invited papers recognition of his service he was awarded the Distinguished volumes of the IX International Conference on Coal held in Service Award by the Coal Geology Division of the 1979. Based on his early work on coal composition related to Geological Society of America, the Martin C. Van Couvering carbonization he was a co-recipient of the Outstanding Memorial Award from the American Institute of Professional Research Paper of the Year Award from the American Iron Geologists for his outstanding contributions, and the first and Steel Institute in1960.

In Memoriam coal loose. Russ and I were collecting a channel sample in an Russell R. Dutcher area away from the active face of the mine. The mine was not high enough to stand or even sit so we were collecting the Remarks by Jack Crelling at the Memorial: sample while laying on our bellies. When the miners detonated the explosives the whole mine shook and we could I first met Russ Dutcher at the annual GSA meeting in New hear and feel the blast. In truth, I was beginning to get a little York City in 1963. I was trying to get into a grad school scared but I looked over at Russ and he seemed unconcerned Master’s program and one of my professors from the so I figured everything was OK and I have never been scared University of Delaware who had gone to graduate school with in a coal mine since then. Russ introduced us. Russ was then the chair of the admissions committee for the Penn State Geology Department. He asked Another time we were looking for a reported outcrop of me how my grades were and I took a transcript from Delaware spheroidal coal in a canyon near the town of Hastings, CO. from my pocket and gave it to him. The fact that I had a While we were both geologists and certainly could read transcript with me must have impressed him (my grades topographic maps, we never did find the coal or the town. We certainly didn’t) because he teased me about it more than once drove around in the area where the map indicated the town over the years of our association. He took a real chance on me was but there we could find no sign of the town except one and accepted me into Penn State for the spring quarter. ruined building with two walls still standing and a few foundations. It was actually a bit spooky. The mystery was solved when we found a tombstone-like monument that said:

In memory of the 121 men that lost their lives in the Hastings mine explosion, April 27, 1917.

After the explosion the town ceased to exist and the mining company cleared the land to avoid taxes on improved land. When we checked our map, the latest one available from the USGS in 1964, it was dated 1895. I have used this experience to urge my students to always check the dates on their maps.

One final story from that summer was when we were driving along the back roads in the canyons in the Spanish Peaks. At the entrance to one canyon up on a bluff we saw a concert structure that to me looked just like a pill box. Russ thought that I had been watching too many John Wayne movies and gave me a hard time about the idea. However, when we got back to the town where we were staying, La Veta, CO, I asked the local historian, Proctor Hayes, about what I had seen. Surprisingly, he said it was indeed a pill box that the striking coal miners had built to protect their camp. There had been considerable labor related violence in the area, and indeed, the site of the Ludlow Massacre, where 19 men, women, and

children were killed by the Colorado National Guard in 1917, John Utgaard and Russ Dutcher at Homecoming sometime in was nearby. I remember visiting this site with Russ. the 1970’s.

Russ taught me the craft of research in the laboratory as well. When I went to Penn State that spring it was the furthest west He taught me many lab techniques including the art of using a that I had ever been in my life. That summer he arranged for microscope to point count macerals to determine coal me to take the field course in Lima, MT and then took me to composition and the use of reflectance measurements to Colorado as his field assistant. Of course, like Russ, I determine coal rank. (We did not have computers or even immediately loved the west. Being his field assistant in the digital equipment in those days. The reflectance detector I Spanish Peaks area was the experience of a lifetime. He taught used was a volt meter with a needle that swung back and me how to observe geology in the field, how to take proper forth.) However, it was still good data. Another professor samples, and in fact he started to teach me the craft of asked me to measure the reflectance on some jet (a type of research. coal) that he was studying. Sometime later, after the

equipment had become considerably better, he had somebody Being with him was also a lot of fun and we had some else check the reflectance of the same sample. The results adventures together. He took me underground into a coal mine were the same. near Walsenberg, CO. It was my first time underground and I will never forget it. The miners were using a technique called Russ always kept up with the latest developments in analytical conventional mining where they drill holes in the coal at the equipment. When I was doing my thesis work he sent me to face of the mine, pack them with explosives, and then blast the the research labs of Bethlehem Steel to check on my samples with some new instruments.

When I arrived here at SIU the Coal Characterization Lab was the best equipped coal lab in the Russ was my mentor, my friend, and my colleague. I miss country. Russ had even obtained a state of the art fluorescence him. I will end my remarks with a quote from Shakespeare microscope that Bethlehem Steel didn’t have. that brings Russ to mind:

Russ had strong feelings about searching the scientific His life was gentle; and the elements literature and he made sure his students did good literature So mixed in him, that Nature might stand up, searches. In my literature search for my Master’s degree I And say to all the world, THIS WAS A MAN! came across a paper by a fellow named Harry Marsh from Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England. I would meet him sometime Remarks by Sue Rimmer at the Memorial: later at an NSF sponsored meeting that Russ sent me to when I was a new professor here. I invited Harry to visit SIU. It was When I first arrived at SIU, I had only been in the US for a the start of a long association. Harry came here as a visiting couple of years. College seemed a bit strange here in the US; professor for three years after he retired and he added much to come to think of it most things did. But here in the our coal effort. Russ and I became good friends with Harry. department, I found a home. A great group of faculty Russ also taught us to contribute to the literature. As soon as I including Russ Dutcher, John Utgaard, and Bill Hood took me completed my Master’s thesis we wrote it up and submitted it under their wings. I went to field camp, taught by Russ and to the GSA Bulletin. I also recall a long weekend here at SIU John (I was even one of those who didn't make the rendezvous when we completed two short papers. We also taught a point ... long story there). But when graduation came, Russ number of short courses together and published the short called up Hal Gluskoter at the Illinois State Geological Survey course notes. and said "Hire her!"... which he did, in the Coal Section, and so began my lifelong career in coal geology. I am the latest of a train of coal people to go from Penn State to SIUC: Art Cohen, Alex Cameron, John Jobling, Jack Crelling, and, of course, Russ Dutcher. For me, it is like coming home again. I will always have fond memories of Russ Dutcher and be forever grateful for the influence he had on my early career.

Organic Petrology Research at Southern Illinois University

By Sue M. Rimmer:

Since coming to SIU in January 2009, I have been able to build on the renowned coal petrology and geochemistry infrastructure established by my colleagues Jack Crelling and Ken Anderson, adding state-of-the-art facilities in organic petrology, density-gradient centrifugation, and x-ray diffraction. In addition to wrapping up thesis and dissertations Figure 2. Luke Hagemann helping Wahid Rahman collect with my students at the University of Kentucky, I have also samples underground at a site in southern Illinois for Wahid's had the opportunity to work with some excellent students here study on intruded coal. The coal he is sampling here is and start collaborative work with several colleagues. directly next to the intrusion and is extremely hard to sample (and it has a vitrinite reflectance above 4%).

Why the interest in intruded coals? Some recent publications have linked intrusion of coals and organic-rich shales to climatic shifts and extinctions (such as the end-Permian and the Toarcian extinction events). The idea is that the intrusions caused widespread release of methane, an effective greenhouse gas. To test this hypothesis we have looked at intruded organic-rich rocks (including coals) to see if there is any isotopic evidence for this; one would expect to see an enrichment in d13C of the coal or dispersed organics approaching an intrusion as methane gas would have been enriched in 12C rather than 13C.

Maggie McPherson Sanders, one of the students who transferred with me to SIUC from Kentucky, has just completed her M.S. thesis as part of an NSF-funded project

that looked at the petrography and geochemistry of coals from Figure 1. Maggie McPherson Sanders performing vitrinite Antarctica. These Permian-age coals are heavily intruded by reflectance analysis of Antarctic coal using our new Leica Jurassic dikes and sills associated with the Karoo-Ferrer Large reflected-light microscope equipped with a J&M vitrinite Igneous Province, and provide an opportunity to evaluate the reflectance/spectral fluorescence system. influence of such intrusions on the isotopic composition of

coals. We are working on these sediments because some of the largest isotopic excursions recorded at the Permo-Triassic boundary have been determined on organic matter collected Jack had sampled high along the road cut in the coal itself from Antarctica. But as the coals and shales were later (there are photographs of a young Jack Crelling balancing on a intruded during the Jurassic, does the organic matter very tall, rickety ladder) now inaccessible as it is covered with accurately record changes in the isotopic composition of the shotcrete, and he still had the samples and pellets. Then it all Permian atmosphere? These are amazing coals of extremely started to make sense. By comparing our samples to the coal high rank including anthracites, meta-anthracites, and natural itself, we realized that what we had found was a pocket of cokes, with some even approaching graphite. The extent of the natural petroleum coke - we think the first ever reported (Fig. contact metamorphism and the higher heat flow in general 4). We are currently writing up the paper for publication turned out to be much more extensive than previously thought (although we do have a teaser published in the Outcrop – a (and Maggie looked at over 150 samples from the U.S. Polar newsletter published by the Rocky Mountain Association of Rock Repository at Ohio State University) (Fig. 1). This Geologists). thermal alteration has likely influenced the isotopic composition of the coals and this must be considered in any interpretation of atmospheric conditions at the end of the Permian.

Wahid Rahman running our new density-gradient an intruded shale along the Purgatoire River near Medina centrifugation set up to separate individual coal macerals for Plaza, CO. Scale bar is 20 microns. his work on intruded coals. Other areas of work include that of Seare Ocubalidet, Jesse Sanders, and Luke Hagemann who are working on Following up on this work, Ph.D. student Mohammed (Wahid) depositional environments of the New Albany and Ohio Rahman is looking at maceral-specific isotopic changes shales. Seare and Jesse are using trace-element redox approaching intrusions (Fig. 2). Most of the earlier isotopic parameters and C-S-Fe systematics to understand the extent of work on intruded coals and sediments has been done on bulk anoxia during accumulation of these important source rocks. organic matter; our next challenge is to understand how They are using an extensive data set on black shale cores individual macerals change geochemically, including their completed in the 1980’s at the Center for Applied Energy isotopic compositions. To do this we are using the new Research (CAER) in Lexington, KY, much of which has not density-gradient centrifugation (DGC) facility we set up in the been published in the literature. Luke has just defended his coal lab (Fig. 3) with equipment purchased by an NSF grant M.S. thesis and used another approach, pyrite framboid size while I was still at Kentucky and was able to transfer here to analysis, to evaluate the redox conditions in these black shales. SIUC. Bill Huggett has been invaluable in setting up this new With these data we should be able to ascertain just how lab and instructing Wahid on this unique procedure. So we extensive periods of anoxia were (or possibly were not) during now have two complete DGC facilities, one here on campus organic matter accumulation. and one out at the lab in Carterville. In addition, I have started to develop some collaborative work One of the intriguing studies we have done on intruded with Scott Elrick of the Illinois Geological Survey. Working sediments involved a return to the M.S. thesis site of none with M.S. student Josh Linthicum, we are looking at the other than Jack Crelling. Quite by coincidence, I sampled the Energy Shale above the Herrin (No. 6) Coal. Previously exact same site along the Purgatoire River in southern described as a crevasse splay, this shale appears to be made up Colorado with one of my Ph.D. students at Kentucky (Lois of cyclical thick and thin laminae and may represent a tidal Yoksoulian) a few summers back during a statewide search for deposit. Beneath this shale the coal is thicker and higher intruded coals. These samples baffled us for a while as the quality (representing the "Quality Circle") than in other places textures we were seeing did not make much sense. Jack held in the basin, so understanding the nature of the depositional the key. Whereas we had samples of shale adjacent to an setting of this roof rock is important for refining coal intrusion that were accessible not far above the road level, exploration models.
