  • Structural Evolution of the Oil Well Flats Detachment System, Cañon City Embayment, Colorado
    STRUCTURAL EVOLUTION OF THE OIL WELL FLATS DETACHMENT SYSTEM, CAÑON CITY EMBAYMENT, COLORADO by Lauren C. Cross A thesis submitted to the Faculty and Board of Trustees of the Colorado School of Mines in partial fulillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science (Geology). Golden, Colorado Date ________________ Signed: _______________________ Lauren Cross Signed: _______________________ Dr. Bruce D. Trudgill Thesis Advisor Golden, Colorado Date ________________ Signed: _______________________ Dr. Paul Santi Professor and Head of Department of Geology and Geological Engineering ii ABSTRACT The Cañon City Embayment, located at the southern end of the Denver Basin, Colorado, is an understudied area with a complex structural history affected by major tectonic events such as the Ancestral Rocky Mountain Orogeny, Laramide Orogeny, regional epeirogenic uplift events, and Cenozoic extension. This area is of interest to the petroleum industry in part due to its proximity to Florence-Cañon City Oil Field, which produces from shallow, heavily fractured Pierre Shale and is the oldest continuously working oil ield in the United States. Detailed ield mapping identiied a ~3 km2 detachment fault system in the Oil Well Flats area, located in the northern part of the Cañon City Embayment, which is currently mapped as Quaternary alluvium and landslide deposits. The structure exhibits several topographically high, repeating blocks of Cretaceous Dakota Group sandstones, separated by topographically low valleys that are likely underlain by shale,

  • Sequence Stratigraphy and Depositional Environments Of
    SEQUENCE STRATIGRAPHY AND DEPOSITIONAL ENVIRONMENTS OF THE HARDING SANDSTONE, CENTRAL COLORADO: IMPLICATIONS FOR THE HABITAT OF EARLY FISH by JESSICA LYNN ALLEN (Under the Direction of Steven M. Holland) ABSTRACT Sixteen outcrops throughout the Cañon City Embayment and surrounding areas in Colorado were stratigraphically described to conclude that two ancient genera of fish, Astraspis desiderata and Eriptychius americanus, inhabited a low wave energy microtidal shallow marine environment. Debated for over a century, the habitat of these fish has been previously interpreted as fluvial, estuarine and marine. The facies interpretation and sequence stratigraphic analysis presented here provide new understanding to the ongoing debate. The Harding is interpreted here as mostly shoreface facies interrupted with an interval of lagoonal associated facies in the Cañon City area. Low wave energy conditions near the shore allowed extensive burrowing by organisms in the sediment that resulted in the pervasive bioturbation and lack of sedimentary structures. Fish remains are most commonly preserved on flooding surfaces either overlying or underlying shoreface facies and are associated with minor condensed intervals.

  • Synoptic Taxonomy of Major Fossil Groups
    APPENDIX Synoptic Taxonomy of Major Fossil Groups Important fossil taxa are listed down to the lowest practical taxonomic level; in most cases, this will be the ordinal or subordinallevel. Abbreviated stratigraphic units in parentheses (e.g., UCamb-Ree) indicate maximum range known for the group; units followed by question marks are isolated occurrences followed generally by an interval with no known representatives. Taxa with ranges to "Ree" are extant. Data are extracted principally from Harland et al. (1967), Moore et al. (1956 et seq.), Sepkoski (1982), Romer (1966), Colbert (1980), Moy-Thomas and Miles (1971), Taylor (1981), and Brasier (1980). KINGDOM MONERA Class Ciliata (cont.)
