Geology Of The Northern Part Of The Fra Cristobal Range, Sierra And Socorro Counties, New Mexico, John T. Mccleary
Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs
The northern part of the Fra Cristobal Range contains rocks of Precambrian, Cambrian, Pennsylvanian, Permian, Cretaceous, Tertiary and Quaternary age. One of the northernmost exposures in New Mexico of the Cambrian Bliss formation occurs in the central part of the range. Here the bliss formation wedges out due to widespread pre-Pennsylvanian erosion which removed all the other lower Paleozoic rocks.
The Pennsylvanian Magdalena group, which is predominately limestone, rests uncomformably on Precambrian rock and the Bliss Formation. It forms the greatest part of the sedimentary sequence and is divided into three formations; the Red House, Nakaye, and Bar B formations …

Early History Of Malad Valley, Glade F. Howell
Early History Of Malad Valley, Glade F. Howell
Theses and Dissertations
The Malad Valley is geographically located in a unique position in the Pacific Northwest. The Bear River and its main affluent, the Malad River, are the only rivers in the Pacific Northwest that drain into the Great Basin, whereas the other streams and rivers of the states of Washington, Idaho, and Oregon empty eventually into the Pacific Ocean. It is also characterized for being the northern end of prehistoric Lake Bonneville, and eventually it was through this valley that an outlet opened to drain the lake. The soil deposits from this lake left a fertile valley, capable of producing most …
The Surficial Geology Of North-Central Kidder County, North Dakota, Wallace E. Bakken
The Surficial Geology Of North-Central Kidder County, North Dakota, Wallace E. Bakken
Theses and Dissertations
Kidder County is situated in central North Dakota within the glaciated Missouri Plateau. Rocks underlying the drift range from Cretaceous (Pierre formation) through Palocene (Tongue River formation) in age. The Pierre and Fox Hills formations constitute the majority of the pre-Pleistocene surface. Ice-shove deformation, apparently during Cary time, tilted blocks of Fox Hills in the Sibley Buttes into northeastward-dipping positions.
Cary and Mankato subages of Wisconsin age are represented at the surface. Ages are difficult to assign to drift sheets on the basis of lithology or degree of weathering of included tills; but by correlation from South Dakota and crosscutting …

Comprehensive Survey Of Sedimentation In Lake Mead, 1948-49, W. O. Smith, C. P. Vetter, G. B. Cummings, U.S. Bureau Of Reclamation
Publications (WR)
Reservoirs are becoming an increasingly prominent feature of the American landscape. Built for flood mitigation and to change a fluctuating river into a dependable source of water for irrigation, power, and other purposes, they are predestined, like natural lakes, to be destroyed sometime following their creation. Sedimentation sooner or later robs most lakes and reservoirs of their capacity to store water. The significance of sedimentation in the life of Lake Mead, the largest artificial reservoir in the world, was realized when the plan for the reservoir was conceived, and an aerial survey of the floor was made in 1935 before …

Stratigraphy Of The Winnipeg And Deadwood Formations In North Dakota, Clarence G. Carlson
Stratigraphy Of The Winnipeg And Deadwood Formations In North Dakota, Clarence G. Carlson
Theses and Dissertations
The Deadwood formation includes all of the pre-Winnipeg sedimentary rocks of North Dakota which range in thickness from an erosional edge in the subsurface of northeastern North Dakota to at least 1,000 feet in northwestern North Dakota. It is composed of sandstone, shale, and carbonate of Late Cambrian to Early Crdovician age. Facies relationships are not entirely clear, but sedimentation appears to have been continuous from Late Cambrian to Early Crdovician in the Williston Basin. Conodonts from the upper part of the Deadwood formation in northwestern North Dakota are brownish-black, mostly simple cone types and suggest an Early Drdovician age …
Mississippian Bioherms Of Southwestern Missouri And Northwestern Arkansas, Arthur R. Troell Jr.
Mississippian Bioherms Of Southwestern Missouri And Northwestern Arkansas, Arthur R. Troell Jr.
Masters Theses
"Lenticular bodies of massive limestone, flanked by thin crinoidal beds, crop out in southwestern Missouri and northwestern Arkansas. They are within the St. Joe limestone of the Lower Mississippian.
Strata underlying these bodies typically are down-warped, those on the flanks lapping against, finally passing completely over the limestone core. Dips away from the “reef” are commonly around 5 degrees, but reach as much as 30 degrees. Conglomeratic detritus, originating from the core, occurs in flanking beds at their contact with it.
Thin sections of these masses show no more than 15 per cent of the limestone to consist of fossil …

Pleistocene Geology Of Northern Kidder County, North Dakota, James Chmelik
Theses and Dissertations
The topography of northern Kidder County is due almost entirely to glacial deposition. This are is covered with glacial drift up to a thickness of at least 269 feet which was deposited during Wisconsin ice advances. Seventy-five percent of the area has stagnation moraine which typically exhibits knob-and-kettle topography, has high local relief with no linear trends, and which was deposited after the ice became stagnant. Many kames and eskers were formed contemporaneously with stagnation moraine.

Comparative Petrographic, Petrochemical And Spectrographic Analyses Of The Precambrian Granitic Rocks Of Southeastern Missouri, Eva B. Kisvarsanyi
Comparative Petrographic, Petrochemical And Spectrographic Analyses Of The Precambrian Granitic Rocks Of Southeastern Missouri, Eva B. Kisvarsanyi
Masters Theses
"Petrographic, petrochemical and spectrographic studies were completed on selected Precambrian granitic rock samples from Southeastern Missouri. This investigation contributes to a more detailed knowledge of the Precambrian granitic rocks of this part of the state.
Petrographic analysis of forty-four thin sections of granitic rocks from the St. Francois Mountains area revealed six different granite types. These have been named the Fredericktown, Knoblick, Doerun, Graniteville, Klondike and Silvermine granites. These rocks form a large part of a composite batholith. More than one period of granitic intrusion is represented, but differentiation also contributed to the formation of this diversity of the rocks. …
Occurrence Of Mineralized Ground Water In Southern St. Louis And Jefferson Counties, Missouri, Willard Glennon Owens
Occurrence Of Mineralized Ground Water In Southern St. Louis And Jefferson Counties, Missouri, Willard Glennon Owens
Masters Theses
"Mineralized ground water occurs at some localities in southeastern St. Louis and northern Jefferson counties, Missouri. This water is usually undesirable and is detrimental to development of ground water resources.
Water well records in the offices of the Missouri Geological Survey and Water Resources provided data for a study of structure, lithology and occurrence of ground water. Water well drillers and property owners were interviewed to obtain additional information concerning drilling problems and quality of water.
Geologic cross-sections, subsurface contour maps and isochlorinity maps aided the study of lithology, structure and areal distribution of mineralized ground water. Relationship is suggested …

The Geology Of The Flag Pond Quadrangle, Tennessee-North Carolina, Ebraham Shekarchi
Doctoral Dissertations
Purpose and Scope of the Investigation:
Several workers, as indicated in the following section, have commented upon the geology of the Flag Pond Quadrangle, but none have mapped or studied the area in detail--nor indeed, much of the adjacent region. Consequently, the purpose of this investigation is to obtain a comprehensive picture of the geology of the quadrangle.
The geology of the quadrangle is divisible into two natural units or parts, each with problems unique unto itself. The first of these units is the crystalline complex, the second is the sedimentary sequence which rests upon the crystalline rocks. The purpose …

The Orogenic Evolution Of Turkey, İhsan Keti̇n
Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration
Although Turkey belongs, in its general make-up, to the Alpine belt, this area also exhibits, in certain regions, the effects of the Hercynian, Caledonian and even of the pre-Cambrian tectonic movements. In this brief paper, the writer will attempt to give the well-known orogenic phases of the Alpine and pre-Alpine movements and to show them in vertical diagrams on a small scale map of Turkey.
