Fox Hills Formation and Breien Member of the Hell TERTIARY Creek Formation

North Dakota NORTH DAKOTA’S THE HELL CREEK DELTA Stratigraphy ROCK ROCK UNIT COLUMN During the Cretaceous, about 65 million years ago, a well drained PERIOD EPOCH AGES MILLIONS OF YEARS AGO Holocene Oahe .01 lowland corridor existed between the rising Rocky Mountains and the Western Interior Seaway to the east. Sediments eroded from the Rocky Coleharbor Mountains were carried to this western North Dakota lowland by rivers and Pleistocene QUATERNARY 1.8 Pliocene Unnamed streams and were deposited in a huge delta, the Hell Creek Delta. These 5 Miocene sediments, now turned into sandstone, siltstone, and mudstone, are called 25 Arikaree the Hell Creek Formation. Woodlands, ponds, and swamps that existed on Brule this subtropical, deltaic coastal plain provided habitats for many kinds of Oligocene 38 exotic plants and animals including several species of dinosaurs such as South Heart Chadron Chalky Buttes Triceratops and Tyrannosaurus rex. Freshwater fishes, salamanders, Camels Butte Eocene Golden lizards, turtles, crocodiles, birds, snails, clams and small mammals coexisted 55 Valley Bear Den with the dinosaurs. Fossils of animals, including sharks, rays, and mosasaurs (large marine lizards) that inhabited shallow marine waters adjacent to the Sentinel Butte delta are found in the Fox Hills Formation and Breien Member of the Hell TERTIARY Creek Formation. The species of dinosaurs that existed at this time were the last dinosaurs to ever live.

The Hell Creek Formation, Montana: a Stratigraphic Review and Revision Based on a Sequence Stratigraphic Approach
Review The Hell Creek Formation, Montana: A Stratigraphic Review and Revision Based on a Sequence Stratigraphic Approach Denver Fowler 1,2 1 Badlands Dinosaur Museum, Dickinson Museum Center, Dickinson, ND 58601, USA; [email protected] 2 Museum of the Rockies, Montana State University, Bozeman, MT 59717, USA Received: 12 September 2020; Accepted: 30 October 2020; Published: date Supporting Information 1. Methods: Lithofacies Descriptions Facies descriptions follow methodology laid out in Miall (1985). Descriptions mostly follow those of Flight (2004) for the Bearpaw Shale and Fox Hills Sandstone. Additional lithofacies are described for the Colgate sandstone, ?Battle Formation, an undivided Hell Creek Formation, and the lowermost 5–10 m of the Fort Union Formation. It was desirable to stay as close to Flight's (2004) definitions as possible in order to facilitate cross comparison between measured sections and interpretation; however I have also chosen to remain true to the intentions of Brown (1906) in keeping the Basal Sandstone (and associated basal scour) as the first unit of the Hell Creek Formation, rather than the tidal flats identified by Flight (2004). This analysis is not as concerned with the nature of the basal contacts as much as internal stratigraphy within the Hell Creek Formation itself, hence some of the stratal and facies relationships described by Flight (2004) were not directly observed by myself, but I have included them here to ease comparisons. 1.1. Bearpaw Shale The Bearpaw Shale is the basalmost formation considered in this study; as such only the uppermost 10–20 m have been observed in outcrop. In this upper 20 m or so, the Bearpaw Shale generally coarsens upwards, predominantly comprising shale with occasional interbedded sandstone.

The small size Fox Hills Formation and poor preservation potential of many Upper Cretaceous North American osteichthyans probably South Dakota account for much of this observed paucity.

INTRODUCTION BLM provides an EA for the Whitetail Federal A-1 Re-entry Vertical Oil Well and the associated Whitetail Federal A-1 Water Injection Well (WIW), applications for permit to drill (APDs), in 46N 69W Section 4, Campbell County – which are on fee surface over federal mineral lease. This site-specific analysis tiers into and incorporates by reference the information and analysis in the Final Environmental Impact Statement and Proposed Plan Amendment for the Powder River Basin Oil and Gas Project (PRB FEIS), WY-070-02-065, 2003 and the PRB FEIS Record of Decision (ROD) pursuant to 40 CFR 1508.28 and 1502.21. One may review these documents at the BLM Buffalo Field Office (BFO) and on our website: http://www.blm.gov/wy/st/en/field_offices/Buffalo.html. The APDs are pursuant to the Mineral Leasing Act for exploring or developing oil or gas and do not satisfy the categorical exclusion directive of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, Section 390 because, the project is in Greater Sage-Grouse “Core Area”. Congress made a 4-part process for federal fluid mineral decisions under the long-term needs of multiple- use. First is the land use / resource management plan (RMP); here the PRB FEIS and ROD amendment to the BFO RMP. Second are the decisions of whether and, if so, under what conditions, to lease lands for fluid mineral development.

Groundwater studies for northern Denver Basin aquifers are limited. This study focuses on discerning in-situ recovery influences on groundwater flow in the Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer by using a steady state, regional scale groundwater flow model and a local scale model in the proposed mining zone. General stratigraphy of the study area includes, in ascending order, the Pierre Shale, the Fox Hills Formation, and the Laramie Formation.
