Denudation History and Internal Structure of the Front Range and Wet Mountains, Colorado, Based on Apatite-Fission-Track Thermoc
NEW MEXICO BUREAU OF GEOLOGY & MINERAL RESOURCES, BULLETIN 160, 2004 41 Denudation history and internal structure of the Front Range and Wet Mountains, Colorado, based on apatitefissiontrack thermochronology 1 2 1Department of Earth and Environmental Science, New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, Socorro, NM 87801Shari A. Kelley and Charles E. Chapin 2New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources, New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, Socorro, NM 87801 Abstract An apatite fissiontrack (AFT) partial annealing zone (PAZ) that developed during Late Cretaceous time provides a structural datum for addressing questions concerning the timing and magnitude of denudation, as well as the structural style of Laramide deformation, in the Front Range and Wet Mountains of Colorado. AFT cooling ages are also used to estimate the magnitude and sense of dis placement across faults and to differentiate between exhumation and faultgenerated topography. AFT ages at low elevationX along the eastern margin of the southern Front Range between Golden and Colorado Springs are from 100 to 270 Ma, and the mean track lengths are short (10–12.5 µm). Old AFT ages (> 100 Ma) are also found along the western margin of the Front Range along the Elkhorn thrust fault. In contrast AFT ages of 45–75 Ma and relatively long mean track lengths (12.5–14 µm) are common in the interior of the range. The AFT ages generally decrease across northwesttrending faults toward the center of the range. The base of a fossil PAZ, which separates AFT cooling ages of 45– 70 Ma at low elevations from AFT ages > 100 Ma at higher elevations, is exposed on the south side of Pikes Peak, on Mt. -

Geology and Hydrology, Front Range Urban Corridor, Colorado
Bibliography and Index of Geology and Hydrology, Front Range Urban Corridor, Colorado By FELICIE CHRONIC and JOHN CHRONIC GEOLOGICAL SURVEY BULLETIN 1306 Bibliographic citations for more than 1,800 indexed reports, theses, and open-file releases concerning one of the Nation's most rapidly growing areas UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE, WASHINGTON : 1974 UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR ROGERS C. B. MORTON, Secretary GEOLOGICAL SURVEY V. E. McKelvey, Director Library of Congress catalog-card No. 74-600045 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office Washington, D. C. 20402- Price $1.15 (paper cover) Stock Number 2401-02545 PREFACE This bibliography is intended for persons wishing geological information about the Front Range Urban Corridor. It was compiled at the University of Colorado, funded by the U.S. Geological Survey, and is based primarily on references in the Petroleum Research Microfilm Library of the Rocky Mountain Region. Extensive use was made also of U.S. Geological Survey and American Geological Institute bibliographies, as well as those of the Colorado Geological Survey. Most of the material listed was published or completed before July 1, 1972; references to some later articles, as well as to a few which were not found in the first search, are appended at the end of the alphabetical listing. This bibliography may include more references than some users feel are warranted, but the authors felt that the greatest value to the user would result from a comprehensive rather than a selective listing. Hence, we decided to include the most significant synthesizing articles and books in order to give a broad picture of the geology of the Front Range Urban Corridor, and to include also some articles which deal with geology of areas adjacent to, and probably pertinent to, the corridor. -

Section One S Ection O Ne
Section One Waterton Canyon to County Line Road Recreation districts in charge: Douglas County Parks, Trails & Buildings Grounds Metro District of Highlands Ranch Parks and Open Space General Information The segment from Waterton Canyon past Chatfield Reservoir is rural in nature and passes over both private property and Chatfield State Park land. Some 50,000 people annually use this section of the path. Akin to a sandy, country road, the trail here is difficult for road bikes but well suited for horseback Section One riders, mountain bikers, hikers and nature lovers, who will see an abundance of wildlife. The extraordinary design and construction of the canal is evident throughout this segment. The High Line begins nearly two miles up the canyon at a diversion dam on the South Platte River that funnels the water into a 600-foot- long tunnel. The water is siphoned beneath the river at one point and carried in aqueducts (or flumes) around several gulches before it emerges into the high plains, where the trail beings. 6 • Length: 16 miles across two major segments that are not connected. • Access: Wadsworth Boulevard (Colo. 121) and South Platte Canyon Road (Colo. 75) lead south to the Kassler Center, site of Denver Water’s old Kassler Water Treatment Plant. Trailhead parking is available in lots at the nearby Discovery Pavilion and at the Waterton Canyon parking lot. Cross the bridge over the South Platte to get to the trail. • Regulations: Campfires, dogs, unauthorized motorized vehicles, swimming and boating are not allowed in Waterton Canyon. Hours are half-hour before sunrise to half-hour after sunset. -
