Depuis quatre volumes ont été publiés: volume 1, Archipel de l'Artique; volume 2, Yukon-Mackenzie; volume 3, région de l'Atlantique; volume 4, l'Ouest canadien. Pour le Québec, le Ministère de l'Énergie et des Ressources du Québec a pris en main la conception et l'édition du présent ouvrage qui contient plus de 450 unités lithostra- tigraphiques. Ce lexique regroupe toutes les unités lithostratigraphiques décrites dans les Appalaches, les Basses-Terres du Saint-Laurent et les îles de la Madeleine. L'index des unités formelles qui est une liste qui récapitule toutes les unités formelles décrites dans le lexique et classées selon l'ordre alphabétique des noms d'unités, indépen- damment de leur rang hiérarchique ou géochronologique. Cet index regroupe les noms de 267 unités lithostratigraphiques formelles des Appalaches du Québec, des Basses-Terres du Saint-Laurent du Québec et des îles de la Madeleine. Pour la description des unité formelles on donne de façon détaillée l'information dis- ponible, soit: • Le nom de l'unité, suivi parfois où cela s'applique de l'unité de rang plus élevé à laquelle se rattache l'unité décrite. • L'auteur: son nom est donné ainsi que la date de la publication à l'origine de l'unité. • La coupe-type, localisée soit par une description géographique, soit en utilisant le système SNRC (Système national de référence cartographique). • L'âge au niveau de la période; nous spécifions soit le début (précoce) le milieu (moyen) ou la fin (tardif). S'ajoute aussi, parfois, l'époque européenne. • L'historique: on cite les ouvrages, avec leurs auteurs et dates de parution, qui ont contribué à modifier ou à redéfinir l'unité après sa définition originelle. • La lithologie, remplie en donnant les variations latérales et verticales de l'unité. • Les épaisseur et distribution: on fournit les puissances rapportées de l'unité en ques- tion, et les variations possibles, en indiquant les données en mètres. La distribution indique l'étendue régionale ou locale de l'unité. • Les relations stratigraphiques: on explique la nature des contacts avec les formations sus- et sous-jacentes, en plus de donner l'équivalence stratigraphique avec les unités environnantes et les unités situées ailleurs dans d'autres secteurs. • La paléontologie: on énumère les principaux fossiles trouvés dans l'unité en question. Pour certaines unités, cette information n'est pas disponible. • En dernier lieu apparaissent les Références qui donnent le nom des auteurs et la date de parution de tous les articles ayant un rapport direct avec la définition de l'unité. On retrouve également dans les autres sections de ce volume les informations suivantes: La section références qui donne les sources des articles dont il est fait mention dans ce lexique. N L'annexe A fournit une liste de toutes les unités du lexique classées par ordre alphabétique. La première lettre du générique des unités formelles est une majuscule (Groupe, Formation, Membre, Grès de ...). La première lettre du générique des unités informelles est une minuscule (groupe, formation, membre, grès de ...). Les unités abandonnées sont en italique. Certaines unités et toponymes trouvés exclusivement hors du Québec (Nouveau-Brunswick, États-Unis) sont également en italique. L'annexe B donne une liste de toutes les unités formelles regroupées selon l'âge. Par- fois, une même unité peut correspondre à deux périodes successives, exemple: Cambro- Ordovicien. L'annexe C fournit une liste de toutes les unités qui sont considérées informelles, selon le code stratigraphique nord-américain (MER, 1986, article 30h). Pour chaque unité, nous avons indiqué le nom de l'unité, l'auteur, l'année, l'âge et la localisation. L'Annexe D contient les unités abandonnées selon l'article 20 du code (MER, 1986). Dans cette section, on fournit l'information suivante: le nom de l'unité, l'auteur, la date, l'âge, la localisation et aussi, si le nom de l'unité a été remplacé par un autre nom, la raison du remplacement lorsque connue. Ce lexique constitue une première mise à jour des unités lithostratigraphiques et lithodémiques des Appalaches, des Basses-Terres du Saint-Laurent et des îles de la Made- leine.

  • Geology and Stratigraphy Column
    Capitol Reef National Park National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior Geology “Geology knows no such word as forever.” —Wallace Stegner Capitol Reef National Park’s geologic story reveals a nearly complete set of Mesozoic-era sedimentary layers. For 200 million years, rock layers formed at or near sea level. About 75-35 million years ago tectonic forces uplifted them, forming the Waterpocket Fold. Forces of erosion have been sculpting this spectacular landscape ever since. Deposition If you could travel in time and visit Capitol Visiting Capitol Reef 180 million years ago, Reef 245 million years ago, you would not when the Navajo Sandstone was deposited, recognize the landscape. Imagine a coastal you would have been surrounded by a giant park, with beaches and tidal flats; the water sand sea, the largest in Earth’s history.

  • The Middle Ordovician of the Oslo Region, Norway
    NORSK GEOLOGISK TIDSSKRIFT 43 THE MIDDLE ORDOVICIAN OF THE OSLO REGION, NORWAY 15. Monoplacophora and Gastropoda By ELLIS L. Y OCHELSON (Present address: U.S. Geological Survey, Washington 25, D.C., U.S.A.) With 8 plates. Abst rac t. The Middle Ordovician gastropods described by Koken in 1889, 1897 and 1925 are redescribed and reillustrated. Approximately six hundred fifty specimens, including the types, are available from units 4a and 4b. Most specimens are not specifically identifiable; within same superfamilies, many specimens are generically indeterminate. Because well preserved specimens are rare, an apen nomenclature has been employed for most new taxa. The fauna of 4b is slightly more diversified than that of 4a, but both faunas are limited to few species. The preponderant number of specimens come from limestone masses within dark shale. This is considered to be an allocthonous occurrence. Few specimens come from shallow water deposits peripheral to and overlying the dark shales. The faunas of these two facies is different, but the second is so poorly known that no dose comparisons can be made. Several of the forms in the shallow water assemblage are known from single specimens. Less than a dozen specimens of monoplacophorans are known. Pollicina conoidea is transferred to Hypseloconus ?. Palaeoscurria ( ?) norvegica is trans­ ferred to Archinacella. One new species, Archinacella stoermeri, is described. Lepetopsis inopinata may be an inarticulate brachiopod. The gastropod fauna is composed almost entirely of Archaeogastropoda with Bellerophontacea and Pleurotomariacea constituting the majority of the taxa. Three specimens of Archaeogastropoda? representing three genera are known. Only one caenogastropod is known.

Annual NMGS Fall Field Conference Guidebooks Every fall since 1950, the New Mexico Geological Society (NMGS) has held an annual Fall Field Conference that explores some region of New Mexico (or surrounding states). Always well attended, these conferences provide a guidebook to participants. Besides detailed road logs, the guidebooks contain many well written, edited, and peer-reviewed geoscience papers. These books have set the national standard for geologic guidebooks and are an essential geologic reference for anyone working in or around New Mexico. Free Downloads NMGS has decided to make peer-reviewed papers from our Fall Field Conference guidebooks available for free download. Non-members will have access to guidebook papers two years after publication. Members have access to all papers. This is in keeping with our mission of promoting interest, research, and cooperation regarding geology in New Mexico. However, guidebook sales represent a significant proportion of our operating budget. Therefore, only research papers are available for download. Road logs, mini-papers, maps, stratigraphic charts, and other selected content are available only in the printed guidebooks.
