    LATE MIOCENE FISHES OF THE CACHE VALLEY MEMBER, SALT LAKE FORMATION, UTAH AND IDAHO by PATRICK H. MCCLELLAN AND GERALD R. SMITH MISCELLANEOUS PUBLICATIONS MUSEUM OF ZOOLOGY, UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN, 208 Ann Arbor, December 17, 2020 ISSN 0076-8405 P U B L I C A T I O N S O F T H E MUSEUM OF ZOOLOGY, UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN NO. 208 GERALD SMITH, Editor The publications of the Museum of Zoology, The University of Michigan, consist primarily of two series—the Miscellaneous Publications and the Occasional Papers. Both series were founded by Dr. Bryant Walker, Mr. Bradshaw H. Swales, and Dr. W. W. Newcomb. Occasionally the Museum publishes contributions outside of these series. Beginning in 1990 these are titled Special Publications and Circulars and each is sequentially numbered. All submitted manuscripts to any of the Museum’s publications receive external peer review. The Occasional Papers, begun in 1913, serve as a medium for original studies based principally upon the collections in the Museum. They are issued separately. When a sufficient number of pages has been printed to make a volume, a title page, table of contents, and an index are supplied to libraries and individuals on the mailing list for the series. The Miscellaneous Publications, initiated in 1916, include monographic studies, papers on field and museum techniques, and other contributions not within the scope of the Occasional Papers, and are published separately. Each number has a title page and, when necessary, a table of contents. A complete list of publications on Mammals, Birds, Reptiles and Amphibians, Fishes, I nsects, Mollusks, and other topics is available.

    U.S. Geological Survey radiometric ages—compilation "C" Part four: Idaho, Oregon, and Washington R.H. Marvin, H.H. Mehnert, C.W. Naeser, and R.E. Zartman Isochron/West, Bulletin of Isotopic Geochronology, v. 53, pp. 3-13 Downloaded from: https://geoinfo.nmt.edu/publications/periodicals/isochronwest/home.cfml?Issue=53 Isochron/West was published at irregular intervals from 1971 to 1996. The journal was patterned after the journal Radiocarbon and covered isotopic age-dating (except carbon-14) on rocks and minerals from the Western Hemisphere. Initially, the geographic scope of papers was restricted to the western half of the United States, but was later expanded. The journal was sponsored and staffed by the New Mexico Bureau of Mines (now Geology) & Mineral Resources and the Nevada Bureau of Mines & Geology. All back-issue papers are available for free: https://geoinfo.nmt.edu/publications/periodicals/isochronwest This page is intentionally left blank to maintain order of facing pages.

MEHNERT U.S. Geological Survey, Federal Center, Denver, CO 80225 CHARLES W. NAESER ROBERT E. ZARTMAN This is part four of the third compilation of a planned series of age determinations by the U.S. Geological Survey appearing in Isochron/West. It contains both unpublished and published dates. However,the latter ages lacked either a specific sample location, petrologic information, or ana lytical data in their published form. Such specifics are often needed for evaluation and utilization of an isotopic age. That, we believe, is the value of this compilation—it sup plies such information for most of the listed samples.

    IDAHO BOUNDARY TRAIL HIKERS GUIDE 2020 By MIKE O’BRIEN & Jim “Yeti” Fulmis Copyright © 2020 www.fultek.com/ibt Please note that any discrepancies such as US Post office hour changes, prices, businesses closed or burned down is way beyond our control. If you discover changes, please send us information via email ([email protected]). This will help us to keep this guide up to date as best as possible. We did the trail in 2016 and updated everything, including all tracks and waypoints, which can be found at www.fultek.com/ibt. Trail closures, fires, or storms that blow down a lot of trees can and will happen. We discovered that ourselves in 2016. If you can, track anything you find different or just describe the differences and send those to the above email address. Tracks should be in GPX form. Also, there will be a text file named IBT_Hikers_Guide_Updates.txt online at www.fultek.com/ibt for any changes or additions we find out about after the book is published.

When we looked at a map of Idaho we saw a wide variety of terrain, desert, forest, mountains; lots of mountains. Not only that, but the border was mostly public land where we could choose where to hike and camp. Could we hike all the way around? It would be tough. First, we had to figure out a route, one that had reliable water in the desert (no trail angels in the Owyhee Desert!), and a route that touched the special places, like the Tetons, the Bitterroot and Selkirk Mountains, the cedar rainforests in the north.

  • Albion Raft River and Grouse Creek Field Trip Guide
    1 THE ALBION-RAFT RIVER-GROUSE CREEK METAMORPHIC CORE COMPLEX: GEOLOGIC SETTING AND FIELD TRIP GUIDE Elizabeth Miller, Ariel Strickland and Alex Konstantinou, Dept. Geological and Environmental Sciences, Stanford University (Revised from: Elizabeth Miller and Ariel Strickland, 2007 Stanford Field Trip to ARG. Caution: Not necessarily accurate or up-to-date!!!!) Introduction The Albion-Raft River-Grouse Creek metamorphic core complex (ARG) is part of a chain of Cordilleran metamorphic core complexes that lie to the west of the Sevier fold- and-thrust belt (Fig. 1). The ARG is made up of three mountain ranges for which it is named (Fig. 2). The Albion Mountains and Grouse Creek Mountains are characteristic of mountain ranges in the Basin and Range Province; they have a generally north-south orientation and rise abruptly from the surrounding relatively flat topography. The Raft River Mountains have an enigmatic east-west trend and project eastward from the northern end of the Grouse Creek Mountains (Fig. 2). Late Archean crystalline basement is exposed in all three mountain ranges indicating a broad dome or structural culmination beneath this region, where probably 10-15 km minimum of relative vertical uplift (compared to surrounding regions) has occurred. In addition, significant thinning of the overlying upper part of the crust characterizes the geology of this core complex. Eocene and Oligocene granitic plutons are exposed in these ranges and based on geologic relations and cross-sections, most likely underlie much of the ARG. The ARG is unique in the Basin and Range because it is bound on both of its sides (east and west) by normal fault systems and their associated basins.
