  • Structural Interpretation of the Cherokee Arch, South
    STRUCTURAL INTERPRETATION OF THE CHEROKEE ARCH, SOUTH CENTRAL WYOMING, USING 3-D SEISMIC DATA AND WELL LOGS by Joel Ysaccis B. ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to use 3-D seismic data and well logs to map the structural evolution of the Cherokee Arch, a major east-west trending basement high along the Colorado-Wyoming state line. The Cherokee Arch lies along the Cheyenne lineament, a major discontinuity or suture zone in the basement. Recurrent, oblique-slip offset is interpreted to have occurred along faults that make up the arch. Gas fields along the Cherokee Arch produce from structural and structural-stratigraphic traps, mainly in Cretaceous rocks. Some of these fields, like the South Baggs – West Side Canal fields, have gas production from multiple pays. The tectonic evolution of the Cherokee Arch has not been previously studied in detail. About 315 mi2 (815 km2) of 3-D seismic data were analyzed in this study to better understand the kinematic evolution of the area. The interpretation involved mapping the Madison, Shinarump, Above Frontier, Mancos, Almond, Lance/Fox Hills and Fort Union horizons, as well as defining fault geometries. Structure maps on these horizons show the general tendency of the structure to dip towards the west. The Cherokee Arch is an asymmetrical anticline in the hanging wall, which is mainly transected by a south-dipping series of east-west striking thrust faults. The interpreted thrust faults generally terminate within the Mancos to Above Frontier interval, and their vertical offset increases in magnitude down to the basement. Post-Mancos iii intervals are dominated by near-vertical faults with apparent normal offset.

  • Theropod Teeth from the Upper Maastrichtian Hell Creek Formation “Sue” Quarry: New Morphotypes and Faunal Comparisons
    Theropod teeth from the upper Maastrichtian Hell Creek Formation “Sue” Quarry: New morphotypes and faunal comparisons TERRY A. GATES, LINDSAY E. ZANNO, and PETER J. MAKOVICKY Gates, T.A., Zanno, L.E., and Makovicky, P.J. 2015. Theropod teeth from the upper Maastrichtian Hell Creek Formation “Sue” Quarry: New morphotypes and faunal comparisons. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 60 (1): 131–139. Isolated teeth from vertebrate microfossil localities often provide unique information on the biodiversity of ancient ecosystems that might otherwise remain unrecognized. Microfossil sampling is a particularly valuable tool for doc- umenting taxa that are poorly represented in macrofossil surveys due to small body size, fragile skeletal structure, or relatively low ecosystem abundance. Because biodiversity patterns in the late Maastrichtian of North American are the primary data for a broad array of studies regarding non-avian dinosaur extinction in the terminal Cretaceous, intensive sampling on multiple scales is critical to understanding the nature of this event. We address theropod biodiversity in the Maastrichtian by examining teeth collected from the Hell Creek Formation locality that yielded FMNH PR 2081 (the Tyrannosaurus rex specimen “Sue”). Eight morphotypes (three previously undocumented) are identified in the sample, representing Tyrannosauridae, Dromaeosauridae, Troodontidae, and Avialae. Noticeably absent are teeth attributed to the morphotypes Richardoestesia and Paronychodon. Morphometric comparison to dromaeosaurid teeth from multiple Hell Creek and Lance formations microsites reveals two unique dromaeosaurid morphotypes bearing finer distal denticles than present on teeth of similar size, and also differences in crown shape in at least one of these. These findings suggest more dromaeosaurid taxa, and a higher Maastrichtian biodiversity, than previously appreciated.

  • Constraints on the Timescale of Animal Evolutionary History
    Palaeontologia Electronica palaeo-electronica.org Constraints on the timescale of animal evolutionary history Michael J. Benton, Philip C.J. Donoghue, Robert J. Asher, Matt Friedman, Thomas J. Near, and Jakob Vinther ABSTRACT Dating the tree of life is a core endeavor in evolutionary biology. Rates of evolution are fundamental to nearly every evolutionary model and process. Rates need dates. There is much debate on the most appropriate and reasonable ways in which to date the tree of life, and recent work has highlighted some confusions and complexities that can be avoided. Whether phylogenetic trees are dated after they have been estab- lished, or as part of the process of tree finding, practitioners need to know which cali- brations to use. We emphasize the importance of identifying crown (not stem) fossils, levels of confidence in their attribution to the crown, current chronostratigraphic preci- sion, the primacy of the host geological formation and asymmetric confidence intervals. Here we present calibrations for 88 key nodes across the phylogeny of animals, rang- ing from the root of Metazoa to the last common ancestor of Homo sapiens. Close attention to detail is constantly required: for example, the classic bird-mammal date (base of crown Amniota) has often been given as 310-315 Ma; the 2014 international time scale indicates a minimum age of 318 Ma.

At least 10 separate grooves of varying width are present, which we interpret to be scores made by theropod teeth. In addition, the tooth ichnospecies Knethichnus parallelum is present at the end of the distal-most groove. Knethichnus parallelum is caused by denticles of a serrated tooth dragging along the surface of the bone. Through comparing the groove widths in the Knethichnus parallelum to denticle widths on Lance Formation theropod teeth, we conclude that the bite was from a Tyrannosaurus rex. The shape, location, and orientation of the scores suggest that they are feeding traces. The osteohistology of SWAU HRS13997 suggests that it came from a young animal, based on evidence that it was still rapidly growing at time of death.

  • A Census of Dinosaur Fossils Recovered from the Hell Creek and Lance Formations (Maastrichtian)
    The Journal of Paleontological Sciences: JPS.C.2019.01 1 TAKING COUNT: A Census of Dinosaur Fossils Recovered From the Hell Creek and Lance Formations (Maastrichtian). ______________________________________________________________________________________ Walter W. Stein- President, PaleoAdventures 1432 Mill St.. Belle Fourche, SD 57717. [email protected] 605-210-1275 ABSTRACT: A census of Hell Creek and Lance Formation dinosaur remains was conducted from April, 2017 through February of 2018. Online databases were reviewed and curators and collections managers interviewed in an effort to determine how much material had been collected over the past 130+ years of exploration. The results of this new census has led to numerous observations regarding the quantity, quality, and locations of the total collection, as well as ancillary data on the faunal diversity and density of Late Cretaceous dinosaur populations. By reviewing the available data, it was also possible to make general observations regarding the current state of certain exploration programs, the nature of collection bias present in those collections and the availability of today's online databases. A total of 653 distinct, associated and/or articulated remains (skulls and partial skeletons) were located. Ceratopsid skulls and partial skeletons (mostly identified as Triceratops) were the most numerous, tallying over 335+ specimens. Hadrosaurids (Edmontosaurus) were second with at least 149 associated and/or articulated remains. Tyrannosaurids (Tyrannosaurus and Nanotyrannus) were third with a total of 71 associated and/or articulated specimens currently known to exist. Basal ornithopods (Thescelosaurus) were also well represented by at least 42 known associated and/or articulated remains. The remaining associated and/or articulated specimens, included pachycephalosaurids (18), ankylosaurids (6) nodosaurids (6), ornithomimids (13), oviraptorosaurids (9), dromaeosaurids (1) and troodontids (1).

  • Petrophysics of the Lance Sandstone Reservoirs in Jonah Field, Sublette County, Wyoming
    CHAPTER 12 Petrophysics of the Lance Sandstone Reservoirs in Jonah Field, Sublette County, Wyoming SUZANNE G. CLUFF The Discovery Group, Inc., Denver, Colorado, U.S.A. ROBERT M. CLUFF The Discovery Group, Inc., Denver, Colorado, U.S.A. ABSTRACT Jonah field is a giant gas field producing from extremely low-porosity and low-permeability sandstones. Wire-line–log data from 62 wells near the center of the field were studied to characterize the porosity, permeability, and water saturation of the Lance reservoirs. The logs were environmentally corrected and normalized, shale volume and porosities were calculated, water saturations were determined by the dual water model, and net pay was calculated using field-specific pay criteria. Ultimate gas recovery per well was estimated by decline curve analysis of monthly production data. Within the upper 2500 ft (760 m) of the Lance Formation, which includes the entire productive interval in nearly all wells, the average well has 1000 ft (30 m) of net sandstone, having an average porosity of 6.4%. The average permeability of all sandstones, estimated from core data-derived equations, is an astonishingly low 6 Ad. The average water saturation of all sandstones is 45%. Net pay criteria were determined from cumulative storage-capacity and cumulative flow-capacity plots. Although the average sandstone may have only 6% porosity, the low-porosity sandstones contribute an insignificant fraction of the reservoir flow capacity. We estimate that more than 95% of the flow capacity is from sandstones with greater than 6% porosity. A small percentage of high-porosity (>10%) and high- permeability rocks dominate the flow behavior of the reservoir and are probably critical to economic pro- duction.
