Burke PALAEOBIOLOGY DIVISION, DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL HISTORY, ROYAL ONTARIO MUSEUM, TORONTO, ON, CANADA M5S 2C6 Number 41 May 2009 www.conodont.net Webmaster Mark Purnell, University of Leicester 2 Chief Panderer’s Remarks May 1, 2009 Dear Colleagues: It is again spring in southern Canada, that very positive time of year that allows us to forget our winter hibernation & the climatic hardships endured. It is also the time when Joan Burke and I get to harvest and see the results of our winter labours, as we integrate all the information & contributions sent in by you (Thank You) into a new and hopefully ever better Newsletter. Through the hard work of editor Jeffrey Over, Paleontographica Americana, vol. no. 62, has just been published to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the Pander Society and the 150th Anniversary of the first conodont paper by Christian Pander in 1856; the titles and abstracts are here reproduced courtesy of the Paleontological Research Institution in Ithica, N.Y. Glen Merrill and others represented the Pander Society at a conference entitled “Geologic Problem Solving with Microfossils”, sponsored by NAMS, the North American Micropaleontology Section of SEPM, in Houston, Texas, March 15-18, 2009; the titles of papers that dealt with or mentioned conodonts, are included in this Newsletter. Although there have been no official Pander Society meetings since newsletter # 40, a year ago, there were undoubtedly many unofficial ones; many of these would have been helped by suitable refreshments, the latter likely being the reason I didn’t get to hear about the meetings.

  • Areal Geology of the Illinois Fluorspar District
    STATE OF ILLINOIS DEPARTMENT OF REGISTRATION AND EDUCATION AREAL GEOLOGY OF THE ILLINOIS FLUORSPAR DISTRICT Part 3 - Herod and Shetlerville Quadrangles James W. Baxter George A. Desborough Chester W. Shaw ILLINOIS STATE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY John C. Frye, Chief URBANA CIRCULAR 413 1967 AREAL GEOLOGY OF THE ILLINOIS FLUORSPAR DISTRICT Part 3 - Herod and Shetlerville Quadrangles James W. Baxter, George A. Desborough, and Chester W. Shaw ABSTRACT This report and map of the Herod and the Illinois part of the Shetlerville 7;-minute Quadrangles complete the geologic remapping of the Illinois fluorspar district. These quadrangles include portions of eastern Pope, westernHar- din, and southern Saline Counties and comprise the west- ern part of the mineralized district. Twenty-nine sedimentary rock units ranging from Lower Devonian to middle Pennsylvanian in age, and two units of Pleistocene age, are differentiated on the geologic map. In addition, the top and bottom of major sandstone members within formations of Pennsylvanian age are delin- eated wherever possible. The Herod and Shetlerville Quadrangles occupy a position on the north and west flanks of a large domal anti- cline that extends southeastward from the Shawneetown- Rough Creek Fault Zone in northern Pope, southern Saline, and southernGallatin Counties into Kentucky. Hicks Dome, subsidiary to the domal anticline, but located on its axis, forms a structural apex on the eastern margin of the Herod Quadrangle. North and west of Hicks Dome, the strata dip into the Moorman-Eagle Valley Syncline. Hicks Dome lies between two major northeast-trend- ing grabens that transect the domal anticline-the Rock Creek Graben on the east and the Dixon Springs Graben on the west.

  • Possible Oil and Gas Fields in the Cretaceous Beds of Alabama
    424 OIL AND GAS FIELDS IN THE CRETACEOUS BEDS OF ALABAMA Possible Oil and Gas Fields in the Cretaceous Beds of Alabama BY DORSEY HAGER, * TULf\A, OKI,A. (New York Meeting, February, 1918) Downloaded from http://onepetro.org/TRANS/article-pdf/59/01/424/2176944/spe-918424-g.pdf by guest on 01 October 2021 THE possibility of oil and gas production in Alabama has been little considered as yet. Gas and some oil have been found in northwestern Alabama, near Birmingham, in the Pennsylvanian beds, but the oil and gas possibilities in the Cretaceous beds are not generally appreciated. The recent activity of oil companies in that State has attracted much attention, and in this paper the main structural and the general strati­ graphic features are described. :Four favorable areas are outlined. These contain folds of major interest. 'there are other favorable areas which have not been mapped,l Commercial pools discovered in this area would have the advantage of being near tidewater. Mobile, Ala., on the Gulf of Mexico, would be the logical site for refineries and shipping facilities. A pipe line could readily be laid to that city from the Hatchitigbee and the Jackson areas. The logical outlet for the Geneva and the Gordon areas would be Panama City, ma., on the Gulf of Mexico. TOPOGRAPHY The whole of the area under consideration lies in the Gulf coastal· plain and slopes gently to the southwest and west. The elevations vary from 200 to 400 ft. (60 to 121 m.) above sea level. The streams have . sunk their channels into this gently sloping plain, the main drainage flowing south or southwest into tho Gulf of Mexico.

  • Geology of the Pomona Quadrangle, Illinois
    s ,.14.GS: !(JR 3�0 D - c._ � - ) STATE OF ILLINOIS �- DEPARTMENT OF REGISTRATION AND EDUCATION GEOLOGY OF THE POMONA QUADRANGLE, ILLINOIS George A. Desborough ILLINOIS GEOLOGICA? SURVEY UBRAR'l FEB 26 1962' DIVIS ION OF THE ILLINOIS STATE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY JOHN C. FRYE, Chief URBANA CIRCULAR 320 1961 GEOLOGY OF THE POMONA QUADRANGLE, ILLINOIS George A. Desborough ABSTRACT The Pomona quadrangle is in extreme southwestern Illi­ nois near the southwestern border of the Illinois Basin. Both Pennsylvanian and Mississippian strata are exposed in the area. The Pennsylvanian strata-Caseyville, Abbott, and Spoon Forma­ tions-are composed largely of sandstones and shales, but thin, discontinuous coal and limestone beds also are present. Ex­ posed Mississippian strata include the CloreFormation, Degonia Sandstone, and Kinkaid Limestone of late Chesterian age. Three ages of faulting are recognized: post-Mississip­ pian-pre-Pennsylvanian, Caseyville, and post-Pennsylvanian. The Pomona Fault is a major structural feature that strikes north­ west-southeast and brings Chesterian strata on the southwest side against Caseyville rocks on the northeast side. The Pomona Fault and subordinate faults striking northeast-southwest prob­ ably are related to theRattlesnake Ferry Fault, which is essen­ tially parallel to the Pomona Fault and lies about 4 miles south­ west of the quadrangle. Illinoian glacial deposits mantle essentially all of the quadrangle north of Cedar Creek, and thick loess covers most of the upland throughout the area. Two Wisconsinan terraces have been recognized in the larger valleys. Coal has been mined on a small scale and ground-water supplies are adequate for most farms. Limestone and sandstone are available for use as building stone, agstone, and road rock.
