  • Synoptic Taxonomy of Major Fossil Groups
    APPENDIX Synoptic Taxonomy of Major Fossil Groups Important fossil taxa are listed down to the lowest practical taxonomic level; in most cases, this will be the ordinal or subordinallevel. Abbreviated stratigraphic units in parentheses (e.g., UCamb-Ree) indicate maximum range known for the group; units followed by question marks are isolated occurrences followed generally by an interval with no known representatives. Taxa with ranges to "Ree" are extant. Data are extracted principally from Harland et al. (1967), Moore et al. (1956 et seq.), Sepkoski (1982), Romer (1966), Colbert (1980), Moy-Thomas and Miles (1971), Taylor (1981), and Brasier (1980). KINGDOM MONERA Class Ciliata (cont.)

  • Geological Description and Effects of Strip Mining on Coal Overburden Material1
    68 ROY M. KOTTMAN Vol. 64 GEOLOGICAL DESCRIPTION AND EFFECTS OF STRIP MINING ON COAL OVERBURDEN MATERIAL1 RUSSELL A. BRANT Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Division of Geological Survey, Columbus, Ohio Coal is a prime energjr resource. Mining of coal has evolved from humble beginnings of hand mining with pick, shovel, and basket to the highly complex industrial operation of mechanized mining today. Mining in Ohio has gone through a series of changes and will continue to evolve as cheaper methods of mining are developed and remote resources of coal are sought. Every type of coal mining has some effect on the rocks adjacent to the mined strata, but strip mining has the greatest effect. The effects may be physical, chemical, or a combination of these. Strip mining profoundly changes the phy- sical and chemical character of the overburden rocks by breaking up the strata and intimately intermixing the various rock types in spoil banks. Thus chemical reactions take place between different rock types and between the rocks and the atmosphere. Most coal-bearing rocks were laid down originally as sediments in reducing environments, and when exposed today in a strip-mining operation, many of these rocks are placed in an oxidizing environment for the first time since their formation. It is the purpose of this paper to describe the general geology of the coal-bearing region of Ohio and to relate the geology to some of the physical and chemical changes that affect overburden material in strip-mine spoil banks. STRATIGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION OF COAL BEDS IN OHIO Coal-bearing rocks occupy the southeastern third of Ohio and cover about 9,000 square miles.
