(Katian, Richmondian) Waynesville Formation Of Revised Correlations of the Ordovician (Katian, Richmondian) Waynesville Formation of Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky A thesis submitted to the Graduate School of The University of Cincinnati in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Science in Department of Geology of McMicken College of Arts and Sciences by Christopher D Aucoin B.S. (Geology & Anthropology), State University of New York at the College of Oneonta, Oneonta, NY, 2012 Advisory Committee: Dr. Carlton Brett (Chair) Dr. Benjamin Dattilo (Member) Dr. Dave Meyer (Member) Dr. Arnold Miller (Member) Dr. Brenda Hunda (Member) ABSTRACT The Upper Ordovician Waynesville Formation of the Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana tri-state region is situated during and between two major paleoecological events:, the Richmondian Invasion, and the End Ordovician Extinction. Because of this juxtaposition, understanding the regional stratigraphy of this interval is vital to interpreting these events. Stratigraphic and paleontological work on this interval dates back to the late 1800s, and, as a result, numerous nomenclature schemes (biostratigraphical, lithostratigraphical, and state-line geology) have been developed to characterize the Waynesville Formation. The variety of schemes has inhibited the ability to make detailed bed-by-bed correlations. This study has attempted to rectify this issue by selecting the best nomenclature scheme, and create bed-by-bed correlations that cross state lines. The results of the study herein demonstrate that correlations are indeed possible from the deepest water facies to the shallowest water facies fairly readily. The study has also resulted in the discovery of a Mid-Richmondian Unconformity which has previously gone undocumented. This unconformity, which separates the Waynesville Formation from the overlying Blanchester Formation, at places cuts through the entirety of the Clarksville Member of the Waynesville. If extended further south, this unconformity likely removes the Fort Ancient Member and the underlying Arnheim Formation. The discovery of Mid-Richmondian Unconformity will have important implications for paleoecological studies of this interval. i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS There a number of individuals I would like to thank for their assistance in making this project a reality. First and foremost, my advisor Dr. Carlton Brett, for introducing me to the stratigraphical side paleontology, something I value very highly now. Dr. Brett has always been available and enthusiastic to discuss my research and my thesis is all the better for it. I also owe a great deal of thanks to Dr. Benjamin Dattilo who has spent countless hours discussing my project, answering questions and reviewing manuscripts. I would also like to thank my other committee members, Dr. Arnold Miller, Dr. David Meyer, and Dr. Brenda Hunda for all their input into this project and this manuscript. I would also be amiss to not thank all my fellow graduate students, TJ Malgieri, James Thomka, Cameron Schwalbach, Allison Young, Gary Motz and Matt Vrazo, who have assisted with fieldwork and discussions of my research. There have also been a countless number of former and current undergraduate students, who have helped with fieldwork, and I cannot name them all, but among them are Alex Reis, and Ariane Castagner. Much of this work would not have been possible without the assistance of Dan Cooper who has granted me access to his various quarries in the Waynesville. This project was also funded in large part by the Dry Dredgers and its generous members. Lastly, I would like to thank my parents for their love and support throughout this entire process. I certainly would not be where I am now if it were not for them. ii iii CONTENTS ABSTRACT …………………………………………………………………………………….. i ACKNOWLEDGEMENT ……………………………………………………………………. iii LIST OF FIGURES ……………………………………………………………………………vii LIST OF TABLES ……………………………………………………………………………. xii LIST OF APPENDICES ……………………………………………………………………. xiii 1.

In the Ellsworth Mountains there is an extensive record of sedimentation from early Cambrian to Permian times. However, the tectonic history and the palaeogeographic significance remain enigmatic. Nine sandstone samples were analysed for their U-Pb detrital zircon age spectra using SHRIMPII and RG. They belong to the early Cambrian to Carboniferous-Permian sequences and record typical Gondwana margin signatures. Variations up section/sequence in zircon provenance suggest restricted basinal deposition during the Cambrian,! with likely sources in the Namaqua-Natal and Mozambique/Maud Belts. There are little or no contributions from older cratons and so the Ellsworth basin evolved as a separate basin to that in the Transantarctic Mountains.! This basin configuration changed after the Devonian and deposition continued Figure 1.

  • Bryozoan Studies 2019
    BRYOZOAN STUDIES 2019 Edited by Patrick Wyse Jackson & Kamil Zágoršek Czech Geological Survey 1 BRYOZOAN STUDIES 2019 2 Dedication This volume is dedicated with deep gratitude to Paul Taylor. Throughout his career Paul has worked at the Natural History Museum, London which he joined soon after completing post-doctoral studies in Swansea which in turn followed his completion of a PhD in Durham. Paul’s research interests are polymatic within the sphere of bryozoology – he has studied fossil bryozoans from all of the geological periods, and modern bryozoans from all oceanic basins. His interests include taxonomy, biodiversity, skeletal structure, ecology, evolution, history to name a few subject areas; in fact there are probably none in bryozoology that have not been the subject of his many publications. His office in the Natural History Museum quickly became a magnet for visiting bryozoological colleagues whom he always welcomed: he has always been highly encouraging of the research efforts of others, quick to collaborate, and generous with advice and information. A long-standing member of the International Bryozoology Association, Paul presided over the conference held in Boone in 2007. 3 BRYOZOAN STUDIES 2019 Contents Kamil Zágoršek and Patrick N.

Brisbane. ISSN0079-8835. Aconsolidated list of available generic names introduced since the beginning of the binomial nomenclature system for trilobites is presented for the first time. Each entry is accompanied by the author and date of availability, by the name of the type species, by a lithostratigraphic or biostratigraphic and geographic reference for the type species, by a family assignment and by an age indication of the type species at the Period level (e.g. MCAM, LDEV). A second listing of these names is taxonomically arranged in families with the families listed alphabetically, higher level classification being outside the scope of this work.

  • Strophomenide and Orthotetide Silurian Brachiopods from the Baltic Region, with Particular Reference to Lithuanian Boreholes
    Strophomenide and orthotetide Silurian brachiopods from the Baltic region, with particular reference to Lithuanian boreholes PETRAS MUSTEIKIS and L. ROBIN M. COCKS Musteikis, P. and Cocks, L.R.M. 2004. Strophomenide and orthotetide Silurian brachiopods from the Baltic region, with particular reference to Lithuanian boreholes. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 49 (3): 455–482. Epeiric seas covered the east and west parts of the old craton of Baltica in the Silurian and brachiopods formed a major part of the benthic macrofauna throughout Silurian times (Llandovery to Pridoli). The orders Strophomenida and Orthotetida are conspicuous components of the brachiopod fauna, and thus the genera and species of the superfamilies Plec− tambonitoidea, Strophomenoidea, and Chilidiopsoidea, which occur in the Silurian of Baltica are reviewed and reidentified in turn, and their individual distributions are assessed within the numerous boreholes of the East Baltic, particularly Lithua− nia, and attributed to benthic assemblages. The commonest plectambonitoids are Eoplectodonta(Eoplectodonta)(6spe− cies), Leangella (2 species), and Jonesea (2 species); rarer forms include Aegiria and Eoplectodonta (Ygerodiscus), for which the new species E. (Y.) bella is erected from the Lithuanian Wenlock. Eight strophomenoid families occur; the rare Leptaenoideidae only in Gotland (Leptaenoidea, Liljevallia). Strophomenidae are represented by Katastrophomena (4 spe− cies), and Pentlandina (2 species); Bellimurina (Cyphomenoidea) is only from Oslo and Gotland. Rafinesquinidae include widespread Leptaena (at least 11 species) and Lepidoleptaena (2 species) with Scamnomena and Crassitestella known only from Gotland and Oslo. In the Amphistrophiidae Amphistrophia is widespread, and Eoamphistrophia, Eocymostrophia, and Mesodouvillina are rare. In the Leptostrophiidae Mesoleptostrophia, Brachyprion,andProtomegastrophia are com− mon, but Eomegastrophia, Eostropheodonta, Erinostrophia,andPalaeoleptostrophia are only recorded from the west in the Baltica Silurian.

In this study the differences observed in The Upper Ordovician of the Cincinnati Arch region BSI between trepostome and cystoporate species in of the United States has yielded a highly diverse the Cincinnatian is significant, and ramose colonies bryozoan fauna, and which provides an excellent show a higher BSI than encrusting zoaria in the data source for use in this study that proposes same fauna. a novel measure of the degree of skeletal material in Palaeozoic stenolaemate bryozoans. This study is based on 16 trepostome species and one cystoporate INTRODUCTION species described from the Dillsboro Formation Bryozoans of the Class Stenolaemata are characterised (Maysvillian to early Richmondian, Cincinnatian) of by having autozooecial chambers that are broadly Indiana and in 20 species (15 trepostomes and five tubular in nature. They were significant members of cystoporates) from the Lexington Limestone and the Palaeozoic faunas appearing in the Ordovician Clays Ferry
