A geologic study, both field and laboratory, was made of the 12,000 foot thickness of steeply dipping Freda for­ mation exposed along this river. The field study Includes mapping of sedimentary structures In an effort to determine the dominant current directions during deposition of the formation. Pebble and quartz grain orientation as well as heavy mineral and rock composition analyses were made In the laboratory to supplement the field work.

Palaeonlologia Polonica, 50, 3—94, 1990. Taxonomic and ecological analysis of the ammonite assemblages, as well as their general paleogeographical setting, indicate that the Albian deposits in the Polish part of the Central European Basin accumulated under shallow or extremely shallow marine conditions, while those of the High-Tatra Swell were deposited in an open sea environment. The Boreal character of the ammonite faunas in the epicontinental area of Poland and the Tethyan character of those in the Tatra Mountains are evident in the composition of the analyzed assemblages.

    12. Lower Cretaceous Ammonites from the South Atlantic Leg 40 (Dsdp), Their Stratigraphic Value and Sedimentologic Properties

    12. LOWER CRETACEOUS AMMONITES FROM THE SOUTH ATLANTIC LEG 40 (DSDP), THEIR STRATIGRAPHIC VALUE AND SEDIMENTOLOGIC PROPERTIES Jost Wiedmann and Joachim Neugebauer, Geol.-palaont. Institut der Universitat Tubingen, BRD ABSTRACT Eleven ammonites have been cored during Leg 40. They were found concentrated in the lower parts of the drilled section at Sites 363 (Walvis Ridge) and 364 (Angola Basin), and permit recognition of upper Albian, middle Albian, and upper Aptian. So far, no lower Albian could be recognized. A high ammonite density can be assumed for the South Atlantic Mid-Cretaceous. In contrast to data available so far, the Walvis Ridge associations consisting of phylloceratids and desmoceratids show more open- basin relationships than those of the Angola Basin, which are composed of mortoniceratids, desmoceratids, and heteromorphs. Paleobiogeographically, the South Atlantic fauna can be related to the well-known onshore faunas of Angola, South Africa, and Madagascar as well as to the European Mid-Cretaceous. This means that the opening of the South Atlantic and its connection with the North Atlantic occurred earlier as was generally presumed, i.e., in the middle Albian. Records of lower Aptian ammonite faunas from Gabon and Brazil remain doubtful. High rates of sedimentation prevailed especially in the Aptian and Albian, in connection with the early deepening of the South Atlantic basins. The mode of preservation of the ammonites suggests that they were deposited on the outer shelf or on the upper continental slope and were predominantly buried under sediments of slightly reducing conditions. In spite of a certain variability of the depositional environment, the ammonites show a uniform and particular mode of preservation.

Gilbert (1893) first serious support for lunar craters from impacts (geology and experiments) •On Earth Barringer (Meteor) crater recognized as created by impact by Barringer (1906) •Opik (1916) - impacts are high velocity, thus create circular craters at most impact angles Melosh, 1989 …High-Velocity Impacts! www.lpl.arizona.edu/SIC/impact_cratering/Chicxulub/Animation.gif Physics of Impact Cratering Understand how stress (or shock) waves propagate through material in 3 stages: 1.

    The Tennessee Meteorite Impact Sites and Changing Perspectives on Impact Cratering

    UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN QUEENSLAND THE TENNESSEE METEORITE IMPACT SITES AND CHANGING PERSPECTIVES ON IMPACT CRATERING A dissertation submitted by Janaruth Harling Ford B.A. Cum Laude (Vanderbilt University), M. Astron. (University of Western Sydney) For the award of Doctor of Philosophy 2015 ABSTRACT Terrestrial impact structures offer astronomers and geologists opportunities to study the impact cratering process. Tennessee has four structures of interest. Information gained over the last century and a half concerning these sites is scattered throughout astronomical, geological and other specialized scientific journals, books, and literature, some of which are elusive. Gathering and compiling this widely- spread information into one historical document benefits the scientific community in general. The Wells Creek Structure is a proven impact site, and has been referred to as the ‘syntype’ cryptoexplosion structure for the United State. It was the first impact structure in the United States in which shatter cones were identified and was probably the subject of the first detailed geological report on a cryptoexplosive structure in the United States. The Wells Creek Structure displays bilateral symmetry, and three smaller ‘craters’ lie to the north of the main Wells Creek structure along its axis of symmetry. The question remains as to whether or not these structures have a common origin with the Wells Creek structure. The Flynn Creek Structure, another proven impact site, was first mentioned as a site of disturbance in Safford’s 1869 report on the geology of Tennessee. It has been noted as the terrestrial feature that bears the closest resemblance to a typical lunar crater, even though it is the probable result of a shallow marine impact.
