    [Ru)Ioc!RBo1, Vol.. 10, 1968, P. 61-114] UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN RADIOCARBON DATES XII H. R. CRANE and JAMES B. GRIFFIN The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan The following is a list of dates obtained since the compilation of List XI in December 1965. The method is essentially the same as de- scribed in that list. Two C02-CS2 Geiger counter systems were used. Equipment and counting techniques have been described elsewhere (Crane, 1961). Dates and estimates of error in this list follow the practice recommended by the International Radiocarbon Dating Conferences of 1962 and 1965, in that (a) dates are computed on the basis of the Libby half-life, 5570 yr, (b) A.D. 1950 is used as the zero of the age scale, and (c) the errors quoted are the standard deviations obtained from the numbers of counts only. In previous Michigan date lists up to and in- cluding VII, we have quoted errors at least twice as great as the statisti- cal errors of counting, to take account of other errors in the over-all process. If the reader wishes to obtain a standard deviation figure which will allow ample room for the many sources of error in the dating process, we suggest doubling the figures that are given in this list. We wish to acknowledge the help of Patricia Dahlstrom in pre- paring chemical samples and David M. Griffin and Linda B. Halsey in preparing the descriptions. I. GEOLOGIC SAMPLES 9240 ± 1000 M-1291.

  • Geology of Michigan and the Great Lakes
    35133_Geo_Michigan_Cover.qxd 11/13/07 10:26 AM Page 1 “The Geology of Michigan and the Great Lakes” is written to augment any introductory earth science, environmental geology, geologic, or geographic course offering, and is designed to introduce students in Michigan and the Great Lakes to important regional geologic concepts and events. Although Michigan’s geologic past spans the Precambrian through the Holocene, much of the rock record, Pennsylvanian through Pliocene, is miss- ing. Glacial events during the Pleistocene removed these rocks. However, these same glacial events left behind a rich legacy of surficial deposits, various landscape features, lakes, and rivers. Michigan is one of the most scenic states in the nation, providing numerous recre- ational opportunities to inhabitants and visitors alike. Geology of the region has also played an important, and often controlling, role in the pattern of settlement and ongoing economic development of the state. Vital resources such as iron ore, copper, gypsum, salt, oil, and gas have greatly contributed to Michigan’s growth and industrial might. Ample supplies of high-quality water support a vibrant population and strong industrial base throughout the Great Lakes region. These water supplies are now becoming increasingly important in light of modern economic growth and population demands. This text introduces the student to the geology of Michigan and the Great Lakes region. It begins with the Precambrian basement terrains as they relate to plate tectonic events. It describes Paleozoic clastic and carbonate rocks, restricted basin salts, and Niagaran pinnacle reefs. Quaternary glacial events and the development of today’s modern landscapes are also discussed.

The Carmichaels was deposited at the bottom of Lake . Monongahela, a standing body of water formed by the glacial damming of the pre-Pleistocene Pittsburgh River system, the drainage of which included those of the modem Monongahela, Allegheny and Beaver Rivers (Figures la, 1b and 2). The unit occurs as a series of terraces along these rivers and their tributaries in western Pennsylvania and northern West Virginia. Carmichaels Formation terraces within the Monongahela River's drainage basin can be grouped by elevation into two distinct levels which have been interpreted as representing two different glacial damming events: -900-970 It representing illinoian glaciation, and -1000-1100 It pre-illinoian (Figures 3 and 4) (Marine, 1997; Jacobson, et al., 1988; White, 1896). These age constraints are tenuous, based primarily on correlation with outwash gravel trains and drift and on measurement of remanent paleomagnetism in Carmichaels sediments at widely scattered localities; Utey will most likely require revision based on the results of future studies. In addition, a lower terrace, not composed of the Carmichaels Formation, occurs at -920-970 It and is interpreted as being Wisconsinan in age (Marine, 1997; White, 1896).

  • Geoscenario Resources—Glaciers
    Geoscenario Resources—Glaciers: Geologist Task Now that you have explored as a team the general story of how glaciers shaped the midwestern and northeastern United States, it is time for each of you to dive into more specialized information. The geologist focuses on regional features shaped by glaciers and how they formed. Add helpful details to your notes for Geoscenario Team Questions. Then work together and combine all the information to successfully present your story of glaciers. Questions for the Geologist to Consider • What geological features in this region were formed by glaciers? • What is the geological story of how the features were formed? Information Over a period of 10,000 years (100,000–110,000 years ago), the temperature dropped about 17°C, and the most recent glacial period began (evidence from oxygen ratios and foraminifera data). Around 20,000–35,000 years ago, the Laurentide (or Wisconsin) Ice Sheet covered most of Canada and a large portion of the northern United States. The massive ice sheet scraped away layers of earth materials as it pushed southward. Geologists look for clues today that help them determine the path and rate of glacial movement. The Great Lakes A glacier pushing poorly sorted glacial till in front of it. The glacial till forms a fill basins that the glaciers carved. In other areas, moraine. © iStockphoto/cotesebastien exposed rock displays scrape marks created by advancing ice carrying rocks and debris, called glacial till. Piles of glacial till form landmarks like moraines. Even huge boulders can be carried by glaciers. When geologists spot a boulder in an unexpected place, called an erratic, they often suspect a glacier carried it there.
