  • Memorial to Donald Boyd Could 1906-1989 WILLIAM A
    Memorial to Donald Boyd Could 1906-1989 WILLIAM A. FISCHER Department of Geology (Professor Emeritus), Colorado College, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80903 Donald Boyd Gould, a Fellow of the Geological Society of America, was bom in Norman, Oklahoma, on December 6, 1906, and died on February 25,1989, in Denver, Colorado. He was best known as an educator and for his expertise in the structural geology and paleozoic stratigraphy of Col­ orado and Utah, the regional geology of the Canadian Arctic archipelago, the tectonics of piercement domes of Queen Elizabeth Islands, and as an air-photo analyst. Don was raised in an academic environment and in­ troduced to the science of geology at a very early age. His father, Charles Newton Gould, was the first Oklahoma state geologist and founder of the geology department at the Uni­ versity of Oklahoma at Norman. As a young boy, Don often accompanied his father on many geology department field trips to the Arbuckle Mountains of Oklahoma. A family vacation trip in 1918 took the Goulds to South Park, Colorado, where Don’s par­ ents decided to build a cabin near the Weston Pass road and to call it Beaver Lodge. Later in his life Don selected South Park as the subject of his doctoral dissertation, and Beaver Lodge be­ came a focal point for many of his geology classes from Cornell College and Colorado College. Educated in the public schools of Norman and Oklahoma City, Don received the Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Oklahoma in 1928. While an undergraduate, he worked the summer of 1926 for the Borealis Oil Company, mapping the country around Cisco, Texas; he spent the summer of 1927 in Leadville, Colorado, as a rodman on a topographic map­ ping crew; and in 1928 he attended summer school at the University of Iowa, taking courses in museum methods.

Lowell, 1971, pp. 209-217 in: San Luis Basin (Colorado), James, H. L.; [ed.], New Mexico Geological Society 22nd Annual Fall Field Conference Guidebook, 340 p. This is one of many related papers that were included in the 1971 NMGS Fall Field Conference Guidebook. 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.

  • Supplementary Materials: Trout Creek Lycopsid Fossil Forest Geology
    Supplementary Materials: Trout Creek Lycopsid Fossil Forest Geology Robert D. Hickey Arkansas Headwaters Recreation Area State Park, Salida, CO 81201; [email protected] Introduction The Trout Creek lycopsid fossil locality (the “study site”) is located in the east central part of Chaffee County, CO, in the central portion of the Mosquito Range in Chubb Park, just west of U.S. Highway 24/285, along the Lenhardy Cutoff on Colorado State Trust Land. U.S. Hwy 24/285 runs through Chubb Park north to south in the study site area from Trout Creek Pass just to the northeast, toward Johnson Village on the southwest. The study site is covered by portions of the Marmot Peak (southeast corner), Antero Reservoir (southwest corner), Castle Rock Gulch (northwest corner), and Buena Vista East (northeast corner) USGS Quadrangle maps (with geologic overlays). The area of the consists of gentle high-rolling hills, where Kaufman Ridge and Limestone Ridge form the significant topographic features to the east and west, respectively, of Chubb Park and trend southeast to northwest, bounding the study site (Figure 1). The Mosquito Range is a relatively straight, narrow mountain range that trends slightly to the west of north. Its narrow crest has been deeply incised by alpine glaciers and has large steep-sided cirques, like the famous Horseshoe Cirque, to the north of the study site. The range is bounded on the west by the Upper Arkansas Valley and on the east by South Park. The range has peaks to the north of the study site rising to over 4200 m (14,000 ft) and Buffalo Peaks to the south of Weston Pass, north of the study site, is a Tertiary volcanic center.
