Taphonomic And Sedimentologic Study Of The Cretaceous Tepee Buttes Limestone, Hilary G. Close Jan 2006

Taphonomic And Sedimentologic Study Of The Cretaceous Tepee Buttes Limestone, Hilary G. Close

Honors Papers

The Tepee Buttes methane seep deposits exist today as topographically defined limestone features in the surrounding Pierre Shale of the Campanian Western Interior Seaway. The present sloping surface has previously been assumed to be indicative of original seep structure, and biofacies were interpreted as roughly ringing a central vent core. Contradictory field observations in this study have prompted a more detailed taphonomic approach to the Tepee Buttes limestone, and certain depositional features such as reworked horizontal shell beds were noted and examined in detail for the first time. The results of a taphonomic and sedimentologic analysis reveal a complex history …


Generalized Geologic Map For Land-Use Planning: Carter County, Kentucky, Gerald A. Weisenfluh, Daniel I. Carey Jan 2006

Generalized Geologic Map For Land-Use Planning: Carter County, Kentucky, Gerald A. Weisenfluh, Daniel I. Carey

Map and Chart--KGS

This map is not intended to be used for selecting individual sites. Its purpose is to inform land-use planners, government officials, and the public in a general way about geologic bedrock conditions that affect the selection of sites for various purposes. The properties of thick soils may supercede those of the underlying bedrock and should be considered on a site-to-site basis. At any site, it is important to understand the characteristics of both the soils and the underlying rock.
