  • Chapter 2 Paleozoic Stratigraphy of the Grand Canyon
    CHAPTER 2 PALEOZOIC STRATIGRAPHY OF THE GRAND CANYON PAIGE KERCHER INTRODUCTION The Paleozoic Era of the Phanerozoic Eon is defined as the time between 542 and 251 million years before the present (ICS 2010). The Paleozoic Era began with the evolution of most major animal phyla present today, sparked by the novel adaptation of skeletal hard parts. Organisms continued to diversify throughout the Paleozoic into increasingly adaptive and complex life forms, including the first vertebrates, terrestrial plants and animals, forests and seed plants, reptiles, and flying insects. Vast coal swamps covered much of mid- to low-latitude continental environments in the late Paleozoic as the supercontinent Pangaea began to amalgamate. The hardiest taxa survived the multiple global glaciations and mass extinctions that have come to define major time boundaries of this era. Paleozoic North America existed primarily at mid to low latitudes and experienced multiple major orogenies and continental collisions. For much of the Paleozoic, North America’s southwestern margin ran through Nevada and Arizona – California did not yet exist (Appendix B). The flat-lying Paleozoic rocks of the Grand Canyon, though incomplete, form a record of a continental margin repeatedly inundated and vacated by shallow seas (Appendix A). IMPORTANT STRATIGRAPHIC PRINCIPLES AND CONCEPTS • Principle of Original Horizontality – In most cases, depositional processes produce flat-lying sedimentary layers. Notable exceptions include blanketing ash sheets, and cross-stratification developed on sloped surfaces. • Principle of Superposition – In an undisturbed sequence, older strata lie below younger strata; a package of sedimentary layers youngs upward. • Principle of Lateral Continuity – A layer of sediment extends laterally in all directions until it naturally pinches out or abuts the walls of its confining basin.

  • 1989 NMGS Spring Meeting: Abstract-2118
    STRATIGRAPHY OF THE CRETACEOUS BISBEE GROUP IN THE CENTRAL PELONCILLO MOUNTAINS, HIDALGO COUNTY, NEW MEXICO Steven N. Hayden1 and Spencer G. Lucas2 1Department of Geology, University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, NM, 87131 2New Mexico Museum of Natural History, P.o. Box 7010, Albuquerque, NM, 87194 Gillerman (1958, NMBMMR Bulletin 57) named four formations for strata of the Bisbee Group (Aptian-Albian) exposed in the central Peloncillo Mountains. The type section of Gillerman's McGhee Peak Formation is on McGhee Peak in the SW1/4 SE1/4 SW1/4, sec. 34, T24S, R31W and consists of 107 m of interbedded siliceous conglomerate, sandstone and siltstone. We correlate these strata with the Glance Conglomerate and Morita Formation of the Bisbee Group, but because of interbedding of Glance and Morita lithologies we are unable to recognize separate formations. The McGhee Peak Formation is homotaxial with the Hell to Finish Formation of the Big and Little Hatchet mountains to the east, but we refer to this interval in the central Peloncillo Mountains as the Glance/Morita Formation. We designate a type section for Gillerman's Carbonate Hill Formation in the NE1/4 SE1/4 SW1/4, sec. 34, T24S,R21 W where it consists of 49 m of brownish gray to graylimestone and siltstone. In other sections near the Carbonate Hill Mine (E1/2, sec. 34; T24S, R21W) it may be as much as 90 m thick and contains a late Aptian marine invertebrate fauna dominated by Ostrea, Exogyra, turritelloid gastropods and parahoplitid ammonoids. Gillerman's Carbonate Hill Formation is equivalent to the Mural Formation of the Bisbee Group and the oyster limestone and reef limestone members of the U-Bar Formation in the Big Hatchet Mountains.

  • An Inventory of Trilobites from National Park Service Areas
    Sullivan, R.M. and Lucas, S.G., eds., 2016, Fossil Record 5. New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science Bulletin 74. 179 AN INVENTORY OF TRILOBITES FROM NATIONAL PARK SERVICE AREAS MEGAN R. NORR¹, VINCENT L. SANTUCCI1 and JUSTIN S. TWEET2 1National Park Service. 1201 Eye Street NW, Washington, D.C. 20005; -email: [email protected]; 2Tweet Paleo-Consulting. 9149 79th St. S. Cottage Grove. MN 55016; Abstract—Trilobites represent an extinct group of Paleozoic marine invertebrate fossils that have great scientific interest and public appeal. Trilobites exhibit wide taxonomic diversity and are contained within nine orders of the Class Trilobita. A wealth of scientific literature exists regarding trilobites, their morphology, biostratigraphy, indicators of paleoenvironments, behavior, and other research themes. An inventory of National Park Service areas reveals that fossilized remains of trilobites are documented from within at least 33 NPS units, including Death Valley National Park, Grand Canyon National Park, Yellowstone National Park, and Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve. More than 120 trilobite hototype specimens are known from National Park Service areas. INTRODUCTION Of the 262 National Park Service areas identified with paleontological resources, 33 of those units have documented trilobite fossils (Fig. 1). More than 120 holotype specimens of trilobites have been found within National Park Service (NPS) units. Once thriving during the Paleozoic Era (between ~520 and 250 million years ago) and becoming extinct at the end of the Permian Period, trilobites were prone to fossilization due to their hard exoskeletons and the sedimentary marine environments they inhabited. While parks such as Death Valley National Park and Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve have reported a great abundance of fossilized trilobites, many other national parks also contain a diverse trilobite fauna.

  • Pull-Apart Basins at Releasing Bends of the Sinistral Late Jurassic Mojave-Sonora Fault System
    spe393-03 page 97 Geological Society of America Special Paper 393 2005 Pull-apart basins at releasing bends of the sinistral Late Jurassic Mojave-Sonora fault system Thomas H. Anderson* Department of Geology and Planetary Science, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15260, USA Jonathan A. Nourse Geological Sciences Department, California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, California 91768, USA ABSTRACT A 200–500-km-wide belt along the southwestern margin of cratonic North America is pervaded by northwest- and east-trending faults that fl ank basins con- taining thick deposits of locally derived conglomerate and sedimentary breccia. These deposits that crop out mainly in the northern part of mainland Mexico, or southern parts of Arizona and New Mexico are unconformable at their bases, have similar Upper Jurassic and/or Lower Cretaceous stratigraphic ages, and commonly preserve volcanic components in the lower parts of upward-fi ning sections. We argue that these basins share a common structural origin, based on: (1) the presence of faults, locally preserved, that generally defi ne the basin margins, (2) similar basal units comprised of coarse conglomeratic strata derived from adjacent basement, and (3) locally preserved syntectonic relationships to bounding faults. Fault orientations, and our observation that the faults (and their associated basins) extend south to the inferred trace of the Late Jurassic Mojave-Sonora megashear, suggest that the basins formed in response to transtension associated with sinistral movement along the megashear. Northwest-striking left-lateral strike-slip faults that terminate at east-striking normal faults defi ne releasing left steps at which crustal pull-apart structures formed.

HECKERT2 1New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science, 1801 Mountain Road NW, Albuquerque, 87104-1375 2Department of Geology, Appalachian State University, ASU Box 32067, Boone, NC 28608-2067 Abstract—Fossil vertebrates of Cretaceous age are known from two principal areas in Arizona—the Lower and Upper Cretaceous strata of the Basin and Range of southeastern Arizona and the Upper Cretaceous strata of the Black Mesa Basin on the Colorado Plateau in northeastern Arizona. Cretaceous fossil vertebrates, especially dinosaurs, from southeastern Arizona can be summarized as encompassing largely isolated records, mostly from Lower Cretaceous strata, and a single diverse assemblage from one Upper Cretaceous collecting area. These fossils can be assigned to two temporal intervals: (1) Al- bian records from the upper part of the Bisbee Group in the Empire, Whetstone and Mule Mountains, including the ornithopod “Tenontosaurus” and the sauropod Sonorasaurus thompsoni Ratkevich; and (2) Campanian records, including titanosaurs, hadrosaurs, ceratopsians, dromaeosaurs, and tyrannosaurs from the Fort Crittenden Formation in the Santa Rita Mountains, and the “Tucson Mountains dino- saur,” a hadrosaur from the Tucson Mountains. In the Black Mesa basin of northeastern Arizona, late Cenomanian- middle Turonian records of vertebrate fossils are mostly of selachian teeth but include a few records of marine turtles, crocodilians, plesiosaurs and mosasaurs.
