John M Rettler – Secretary Page 3 NOVEMBER 2019 Volume 4A Issue 11 OCTOBER MEETING RECAP Our October meeting was well attended with everyone anticipating the program which was presented by Chris Gass. When Mr. Gass arrived, we suspended our regular business to have him begin his presentation. It was interesting to learn that around 1875 many fossils were discovered by the people who “mined” the dolomite for production of cement on the banks of the Milwaukee River where it runs through what is now Estabrook Park. Many of these fossils were saved by collectors in the area and preserved. Men such as Increase Lapham (Wisconsin’s first geological scientist) began to study these fossils. Laphams collection was given to the University of Wisconsin after his death and is being studied today. It is amazing that the grounds within a major metropolitan area could still contain so many pictures of our past. Armed with a powerpoint slide show Mr. Gass proceeded to show and explain many of the early life forms of the Devonian period. Brachiopods and trilobites abound. Four classes of fish that include the spiny shark and placoderms. Plants and trees known as lycopsids and a towering fungus called prototaxites. All these left fossilized remains along the banks of the river in the dolomite, a record of life before man existed. As part of his presentation Mr. Gass had with him a small sample of the fossils he has collected from the site for study. There are still fossils left to examine and photograph though collecting is not permitted on the site, and access is difficult. Chris Gass is author of “FOSSILS OF THE MILWAUKEE FORMATION”, published by Siri Scientific Press and other books. Unfortunately, due to library policy he was unable to sell the book at the meeting. However, a copy can be obtained by e-mailing him with a request, or may be purchased at his table at our annual show. Many thanks to Chris Gass for a great presentation and making us aware something in our own backyard that we did not know about. NOVEMBER PROGRAM PREVIEW The November meeting will include the election of KMGS officers. Anyone interested in helping to guide our club through the next year by becoming president, vice president, secretary, or treasurer, please contact a member of the election committee (Larry Christopherson, Tim Perrin, or Cheri Zahn) before the meeting. Because of the elections, there will be no formal program, but Mary Netteheim will show photos of Milt Wilson’s collection and equipment that may be for sale. The goodie detail for November will be Mary Nettesheim and Dave and Debbi Elftman. Page 4 NOVEMBER 2019 Volume 4A Issue 11 AMERICAN FEDERATION OF MINERALOGICAL SOCIETIES CODE OF ETHICS FOR ROCK COLLECTING I will respect both public and private property and will do no collecting on privately owed land without permission from the owner. I will keep informed on all laws, regulations or rules governing collecting on public lands and will observe them. I will, to the best of my ability, ascertain the boundary lines of the property on which I plan to collect. I will use no ;irearms or blasting materials in collecting areas. I will cause no willful damage to property of any kind such as fences, signs, buildings, etc. I will leave all gates as found. I will build ires only in designated or safe places and will be certain they are completely extinguished before leaving the area.

    GILBERT O. RAASCH, STUDENT OF WISCONSIN’S ANCIENT PAST Donald G. Mikulic1 Joanne Kluessendorf 2 ABSTRACT Milwaukee-born geologist and paleontologist Gilbert O. Raasch conducted the most extensive study of Wisconsin Paleozoic rocks during the first half of the twentieth century. Largely self- educated, he assembled comprehensive paleontological collections from Cambrian, Silurian, and Devonian strata of the state, documenting his work with detailed field notes and maps. Beginning when he was in high school and continuing through his time as a college student and museum professional, Raasch wrote a number of innovative papers about the geology of Wisconsin. Significantly, his detailed biostratigraphic approach allowed him to develop evidence that resolved some important geological controversies and misinterpretations of these rocks. Although widely recognized as the expert on Wisconsin Paleozoic geology, unfortunately Raasch never was able to secure the research position in the region that would have allowed him to continue to follow his interests and further develop his ideas. Although he expanded his studies into surrounding states, he eventually had to abandon his true research interests in favor of employment in the oil industry of western Canada. Although Raasch was very successful in this new pursuit, our understanding of Midwestern Paleozoic geology and paleontology suffered a significant loss by his departure. INTRODUCTION future, Raasch never was able to secure the type of Gilbert O. Raasch is widely acknowledged as Wis- employment in Wisconsin or the Midwest that his ca- consin’s most prominent twentieth-century student of pabilities and accomplishments warranted. Sadly, his Paleozoic geology and paleontology. Through classic research in the region was cut short, and he spent most papers, meticulously documented collections, detailed of the last sixty years of his life working elsewhere by field notes, and unpublished manuscripts, Raasch has necessity, not by choice.

  • Existing Water Supply Conditions in the Region
    SEWRPC Planning Report No. 52 A REGIONAL WATER SUPPLY PLAN FOR SOUTHEASTERN WISCONSIN Chapter III EXISTING WATER SUPPLY CONDITIONS IN THE REGION INTRODUCTION An extensive water supply infrastructure consisting of many public and individual private systems presently exists within the Southeastern Wisconsin Region to serve existing urban and rural land use development. This infrastructure has been under continuous development for over a period of about 135 years. Any sound water supply planning program must include an inventory and evaluation of the existing water supply systems. The inventory must identify the location, capacity, and service areas of the existing public and private water supply systems. The capabilities of these existing systems to be expanded, together with any deficiencies in these existing systems to meet present and probable future needs, must be identified as an important step toward a recommended water supply plan and of alternatives thereto. Accordingly, an inventory and evaluation of the existing public and private water supply systems within the Region constituted an important early operational step in the regional water supply system planning program. This chapter presents the results of this inventory and of a related inventory of locally prepared engineering reports and water supply system plans for the existing water supply systems of the Region. The inventory is preceded by a section on the historical perspective of facilities in the Region. Also included in this chapter are data on water uses and descriptions of the sources of both groundwater and surface water supply. In addition, areas of existing urban development not currently served by public water supply facilities are identified.

    NATIONAL HISTORIC LANDMARKS Dr. Harry A. Butowsky GEOLOGY THEME STUDY Page 1 Geology National Historic Landmark Theme Study (Draft 1990) Introduction by Dr. Harry A. Butowsky Historian, History Division National Park Service, Washington, DC The Geology National Historic Landmark Theme Study represents the second phase of the National Park Service's thematic study of the history of American science. Phase one of this study, Astronomy and Astrophysics: A National Historic Landmark Theme Study was completed in l989. Subsequent phases of the science theme study will include the disciplines of biology, chemistry, mathematics, physics and other related sciences. The Science Theme Study is being completed by the National Historic Landmarks Survey of the National Park Service in compliance with the requirements of the Historic Sites Act of l935. The Historic Sites Act established "a national policy to preserve for public use historic sites, buildings and objects of national significance for the inspiration and benefit of the American people." Under the terms of the Act, the service is required to survey, study, protect, preserve, maintain, or operate nationally significant historic buildings, sites & objects. The National Historic Landmarks Survey of the National Park Service is charged with the responsibility of identifying America's nationally significant historic property. The survey meets this obligation through a comprehensive process involving thematic study of the facets of American History. In recent years, the survey has completed National Historic Landmark theme studies on topics as diverse as the American space program, World War II in the Pacific, the US Constitution, recreation in the United States and architecture in the National Parks.

    Memorial to Katherine Greacen Nelson 1913-1982 RACHEL K. PAULL and RICHARD A. PAULL Department o f Geological and Geophysical Sciences, University o f Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53201 Dr. Katherine G. Nelson, a distinguished educator and a professor in the Department of Geological and Geo­ physical Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Mil- waukee at the time of her death, died on December 29. 1982, after a short but valiant fight against cancer. Katherine Greacen was born in Sierra Madre, California, on December 9, 1913, into a military family. Her life as an Army brat stabilized when her father was posted to Rutgers University to direct the R.O.T.C. program. Education was important to the Greacen family, and Katherine received her A.B. degree from Vassar College in 1934. After receiving the first Ph.D. in geology from Rutgers University in 1938, Katherine began her dis­ tinguished career of service at Milwaukee Downer Col­ lege. After World War II duty in the oil fields of Texas with Shell Oil and Hunt Oil, she returned to Milwaukee and made educational contributions at Milwaukee Downer Semi­ nary, the Y.W.C.A., and Wisconsin State College before joining the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee faculty in 1956. Although Katherine’s professional accomplishments include numerous scholarly papers, she is best known for her devotion to teaching others about the Earth. Most university professors restrict their teaching to college-level courses and the supervision of graduate students, but not Katherine. She was always nonselective in her educational endeavors and was equally available to, and comfortable with, a bus load of school children visiting the Greene Museum or congressmen contemplating the potential for the Ice Age Scientific Reserve in Wisconsin.

Systematists will note a general lack of revision of primary taxonomic work. For example, lectotypes have not been selected from many syntype series. Specialists in the groups of organisms involved are encouraged to incorporate this Milwaukee Pub- lic Museum material into current taxonomic studies. Many type and figured specimens known to belong to the Milwaukee Public Museum are missing. This is due primarily to lack of loan records for any but the most recent years. Information concerning the present location of specimens listed as not found (NF) is solicited. All fossil type and figured Milwaukee Public Museum specimens known to have appeared in the paleontologic literature are cataloged here. Unfigured referred specimens are not cataloged, nor are replicas (casts, peels, etc.) of the types of Milwaukee Public Museum or other institutions' specimens which are in the Museum collection.
