A. Munter G. A. Ludvigson B. J. Bunker Iowa Geological Survey Iowa Geological Survey Donald L. Koch Director and State Geologist 123 North Capitol Street Iowa City, Iowa 52242 Foreword An assessment of the quantity and quality of water available from the Dakota (Sandstone) Formation 1n northwest Iowa is presented in this report. The as sessment was undertaken to provide quantitative information on the hydrology of the Dakota aquifer system to the Iowa Natural Resources Council for alloca tion of water for irrigation, largely as a consequence of the 1976-77 drought. Most area wells for domestic, livestock, and irrigation purposes only partial ly penetrated the Dakota Formation. Consequently, the long-term effects of significant increases in water withdrawals could not be assessed on the basis of existing wells. Acquisition of new data was based upon a drilling program designed to penetrate the entire sequence of Dakota sediments at key loca tions, after a thorough inventory and analysis of existing data. Definition of the distribution, thickness, and lateral and vertical changes in composition of the Dakota Formation has permitted the recognition of two mem bers. Additionally, Identification of the rock units that underlie the Dakota Formation has contributed greatly to our knowledge of the regional geology of northwest Iowa and the upper midwest.

  • Variability of Nanopore Systems in the Lincoln Limestone, Denver-Julesburg Basin, Colorado, Usa
    VARIABILITY OF NANOPORE SYSTEMS IN THE LINCOLN LIMESTONE, DENVER-JULESBURG BASIN, COLORADO, USA By Brandon Franklin Werner Chase B.A., University of Colorado, Boulder, 2016 Undergraduate Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Undergraduate School of the University of Colorado’s Department of Geological Sciences 2016 Committee: David Budd – Geological Sciences – Advisor Charles Stern – Geological Sciences Tyler Lansford - Classics ABSTRACT: With a shift to exploiting unconventional petroleum plays in the United States to support energy consumption, understanding the nanopore systems in those unconventional resources becomes important for future exploitation. The goal of this study is to characterize the pore systems of the Cretaceous Lincoln Limestone found in the Denver-Julesburg (DJ) Basin in order to test the hypothesis that lithologic variability has a control on pore characteristics and total porosity. The Lincoln Limestone represents a possible reservoir interval in close proximity to a source interval, the Hartland Shale, which directly overlies it, thus making it a potentially profitable future exploration target. Pore networks in the Lincoln were characterized using AR-milled rock surfaces run through a scanning electron microscope (SEM) for image capture, image analysis with Avizio 9 software, and mineralogical characterization by X- Ray fluorescence (XRF). Seven samples were chosen for analysis from a single core taken from one well in the DJ basin. Five of the samples span the roughly 70-90 ft thick Lincoln Limestone and the other two come from right above and right below the Lincoln. The seven samples span the range of lithologic and porosity variability in the Lincoln Limestone. They have normalized volumes of carbonate that range from 6.0% to 70.6% (mostly as calcite); clay content ranges from 14.8% to 55.2%.

The other four arc designated on this map as 1 Mision d 5" Lorenzo, Mision d Cenecu, Mision d la Isleta, and Mision del Socorro. Each is indicated by a picture of a church building, with surrounding lines representing irrigation canals, as the legend "riego de las misiones" states. All of these lie on the right bank of the river, or in what is now the state of Chihuahua, Mexico. It is known Crom historical sources that Indians speak. ing at least four different dialects, and probably comprising three distinct stocks, inhabited these fi\•e towns. The Mansos lived in El Paso, the Suma in San Lorenzo, the Tiwa in Ysleta, and the Piros in Senecu and Socorro; there were also other Indians - Tano, Tewa, and Jemez - scattered through some of these set­ tlemen-ts.

    TOWARD STANDARDIZATION OF PHANEROZOIC STRATIGRAPHIC NOMENCLATURE IN NEW MEXICO Steven M. Cather1, Kate E. Zeigler2, Greg H. Mack3 and Shari A. Kelley1 1New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources, New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, 801 Leroy Pl., Socorro, NM, 87801, [email protected] 2Department of Natural Resources Management, New Mexico Highlands University, Las Vegas, NM, 87701 3Department of Geological Sciences, New Mexico State University, Las Cruces, NM, 88003 Recent decades have seen an unprecedented rate of change in the Phanerozoic stratigraphic nomenclature of New Mexico. At the same time, the state has experienced a dramatic resurgence of geologic quadrangle mapping, primarily facilitated by the National Geologic Mapping Act of 1992, which enabled the STATEMAP and EDMAP programs. The utility of the new stratigraphic nomenclature has not yet been adequately tested, and in some cases has been opposed by other researchers. Despite a lack of consensus among stratigraphers, it is desirable to have an agreed-upon nomenclature for the purpose of ongoing geologic mapping. We present here, from our perspective as geologic mappers, revisions to the Phanerozoic stratigraphic nomenclature of New Mexico. We hope our discussion will eventually lead to adoption of a standardized nomenclature, for the purposes of mapping, by the New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources, which administers the STATEMAP and EDMAP programs in New Mexico. Here we criticize, and suggest alternatives to, aspects of recent nomenclatural
