Dart INTRODUCTION This catalog is an updated and expanded version of an earlier drill-hole data catalog, Open-File Report 90-260 (Dart, 1990). This new version includes geologic data for more than 150 additional drill holes. The total number of drill holes in the catalog now exceeds 575. These drill holes are from seven States in a study region extending from lat 33.5° N. to 38.75° N. and long 87« W. to 92.5' W. (fig. 1). As a companion publication to this catalog, I have prepared a series of computer-generated, subsurface geologic maps of major Paleozoic stratigraphic units within the Mississippi Embayment (R.L. Dart, unpub. data, 1992). Some of the data in this catalog were used to produce these maps. DRILL-HOLE DATA The data contained in this catalog also exists as a Geographical Information Systems ARC/Info computer database. As a service to interested users, copies of this database may be obtained from the author (USGS, Denver Federal Center, MS 966, Denver, CO 80225-0046). It is my intent that this database exist as a research tool and that it be routinely updated. With this goal in mind, potential users and data contributors are encouraged to make comments and submit supplemental data. Geologic data in this catalog are from drill-holes that are known to have, or are inferred to have, reached a total depth at the Paleozoic-Cretaceous contact, within the Paleozoic section, or in Precambrian basement. However, the catalog is not a complete listing of all pre-Cretaceous drill-holes within the study region. Some important omissions in the data may exist despite an effort to consult a wide variety of potential data sources. The data are presented in two parts. Part A is a complete listing of the data, and Part B is an abridged listing of selected data. Part-B data tabulation is intended to aid the user in locating specific data that may be of particular interest. The drill-hole data (Part A) are in seven data tables containing information from drill holes located in one of the seven States (Arkansas, Illinois, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, Tennessee) within the study region. Each data entry is given a unique reference or index identifier consisting of a two-letter State abbreviation (postal code) and a sequence number. The selected pre-Cretaceous drill-hole data (Part B) are in four data tables. Table 1 is a listing of drill-hole names with information on total depths drilled and the lithologies at those depths. Tables 2 through 4 are listings of subsea depths to specific stratigraphic surfaces. Included also are the Geologic names of the subcrop units at these surfaces and the thicknesses of these specific stratigraphic intervals. Acknowledgments I would like to thank the many individuals and institutions who have generously contributed drill-hole data. In addition to those listed in Personal Communications, I would also like to thank FA. McKeown, M.N. Machette, and H.S. Swolfs (U.S. Geological Survey). 340. FIGURE 1.

  • Columnals (PDF)
    2248 22482 2 4 V. INDEX OF COLUMNALS 8 Remarks: In this section the stratigraphic range given under the genus is the compiled range of all named species based solely on columnals assigned to the genus. It should be noted that this range may and often differs considerably from the range given under the same genus in Section I, because that range is based on species identified on cups or crowns. All other abbreviations and format follow that of Section I. Generic names followed by the type species are based on columnals. Genera, not followed by the type species, are based on cups and crowns as given in Section I. There are a number of unlisted columnal taxa from the literature that are indexed as genera recognized on cups and crowns. Bassler and Moodey (1943) did not index columnal taxa that were not new names or identified genera with the species unnamed. I have included some of the omissions of Bassler and Moodey, but have not made a search of the extensive literature specifically for the omitted citations because of time constraints. Many of these unlisted taxa are illustrated in the early state surveys of the eastern and central United States. Many of the columnal species assigned to genera based on cups or crowns are incorrect assignments. An uncertain, but significant, number of the columnal genera are synonyms of other columnal genera as they are based on different parts of the stem of a single taxon. Also a number of the columnal genera are synonyms of genera based on cups and crowns as they come from more distal parts of the stem not currently known to be associated with the cup or crown.

  • Upper Carboniferous–Lower Permian Buildups of the Carnic Alps, Austria–Italy 201 Upper Carboniferous–Lower Permian Buildups of the Carnic Alps, Austria–Italy
    Published in "SEPM Special Publication No. 78: 201-217, 2003" which should be cited to reference this work. UPPER CARBONIFEROUS–LOWER PERMIAN BUILDUPS OF THE CARNIC ALPS, AUSTRIA–ITALY 201 UPPER CARBONIFEROUS–LOWER PERMIAN BUILDUPS OF THE CARNIC ALPS, AUSTRIA–ITALY ELIAS SAMANKASSOU Université de Fribourg, Département de Géosciences, Géologie et Paléontologie, Pérolles, CH-1700 Fribourg, Switzerland e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: A variety of buildup types occur in the upper Paleozoic Auernig and Rattendorf Groups, Carnic Alps, at the present-day Austrian–Italian border, including coral, diverse algal (Anthracoporella, Archaeolithophyllum, Rectangulina, and phylloid green), bryozoan, brachiopod, and sponge buildups. Thin mounds and banks have a diverse fossil association (e.g., Archaeolithophyllum–bryozoan– brachiopod mounds) and occur in siliciclastic-dominated intervals, as do coral buildups. Some of the biodiverse thin mounds occur in strata that were deposited in cooler water. However, the thickest mounds are nearly monospecific (e.g., Anthracoporella mounds) and grew in carbonate-dominated, warm-water environments. Most of the mounds considered in this paper, particularly algal mounds, grew in quiet-water environments below wave base but within the photic zone. Mound growth was variously stopped by siliciclastic input, e.g., auloporid coral mounds, sea-level rise, e.g., the drowning of Anthracoporella mounds of the Rattendorf Group, influence of cool water, e.g., algal mounds of the Auernig Group overlain by limestone of cool-water biotic association, or sea-level fall, e.g., phylloid algal mounds that were subsequently exposed subaerially. There is no indication of ecological succession during mound growth. Growth, dimensions, biotic association, and termination of mounds seem to have been controlled by extrinsic factors, mainly sea level and water temperature.

Frye, Chief URBANA CIRCULAR 424 1968 Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2012 with funding from University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign http://archive.org/details/geologyoilproduc424bris GEOLOGY AND OIL PRODUCTION IN THE TUSCOLA AREA, ILLINOIS H. M. Bristol and Ronald Prescott ABSTRACT The Tuscola Anticline, in east-central Illinois, lies astride the complex LaSalle Anticlinal Belt and dips steeply westward into the Fairfield Basin and gradually eastward into the Murdock Syncline. The anticline is broken into two structural highs, the Hayes Dome and the Shaw Dome. Pleistocene sediments, 50 to 250 feet thick, cover the area. Pennsylvanian sediments cover much of the area, thinning to expose an inlier of Mississippian, Devonian, and Silurian rock north of Tuscola. The basal Cambrian for- mation, the Mt. Simon Sandstone, is penetrated by only two wells. Oil production from the Kimmswick (Trenton) com- menced in 1962 from the R. D. Ernest No. 1 Schweighart well, near Hayes, and as of January 1, 1968, approximately 30 wells were producing oil. Cumulative oil production as of January 1, 1968, is approximately 94,000 barrels. The potential pay zone is confined to the upper 5 to 100 feet of structure and to the upper 125 feet of the Kimmswick, whose permeability ranges from 0.1 to 2. millidarcys, av- eraging 0.6, and whose porosity ranges from 2 to 12 per- cent.

  • Mineral Resources of the Illinois Basin in the Context of Basin Evolution
    Mineral Resources of the Illinois Basin in the Context of Basin Evolution St. Louis, Missouri, January 22-23,1992 Program and Abstracts Edited by Martin B. Goldhaber and J. James Eidel U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 92-1 This report is preliminary and has not been edited or reviewed for conformity with U.S. Geological Survey, Illinois State Geological Survey, Kentucky Geological Survey, Missouri Division of Geology and Land Survey, and Indiana Geological Survey standards. PREFACE The mineral resources of the U.S. midcontinent were instrumental to the development of the U.S. economy. Mineral resources are an important and essential component of the current economy and will continue to play a vital role in the future. Mineral resources provide essential raw materials for the goods consumed by industry and the public. To assess the availability of mineral resources and contribute to the abib'ty to locate and define mineral resources, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has undertaken two programs in cooperation with the State Geological Surveys in the midcontinent region. In 1975, under the Conterminous U.S. Mineral Assessment Program (CUSMAP) work began on the Rolla 1° X 2° Quadrangle at a scale of 1:250,000 and was continued in the adjacent Springfield, Harrison, Joplin, and Paducah quadrangles across southern Missouri, Kansas, Illinois, Arkansas, and Oklahoma. Public meetings were held in 1981 to present results from the Rolla CUSMAP and in 1985 for the Springfield CUSMAP. In 1984, the Midcontinent Strategic and Critical Minerals Project (SCMP) was initiated by the USGS and the State Geological Surveys of 16 states to map and compile data at 1:1,000,000 scale and conduct related topical studies for the area from latitude 36° to 46° N.

Meents and David H. Swann ABSTRACT The Grand Tower Limestone has been the source of over a hundred million barrels of oil in Illinois, the bulk of the Devo- nian production of the state. The formation underlies most of southern and central Illinois and extends into Missouri, Iowa, Indiana, and Kentucky, where its equivalents are the Cooper, Wapsipinicon, and Jeffersonville Limestones. The Grand Tower has a maximum thickness of a little more than 200 feet. It is a sandy, but otherwise pure, carbonate unit that forms approxi- mately the lower half of the Middle Devonian carbonate sequence of the region. TheGrand Tower is dominantly fossiliferous lime- stone in southern Illinois, dolomite in most of central Illinois, and lithographic limestone where it pinches out in north-central Illinois against the Sangamon Arch. The Sangamon Arch was an east-west structure that probably separated the Grand Tower from the Wapsipinicon Limestone of northern Illinois and Iowa during their deposition. Ithasbeen so modified by post-Devonian move- ments that it is no longer an important structural element.
