Nature And Lateral Variation Of Lost Rock Limestone In The Tri-State Zinc-Lead District., Adnan A. Saadallah

Masters Theses

"The nature and lateral variation of a host rock limestone in the Tri-State zinc-lead district were petrographically studied within a single horizon, the M bed. This bed is a massive crinoidal limestone in the Tri- State district of southwestern Missouri, northeastern Oklahoma and southeastern Kansas and is a part of the Mississippian Keokuk Formation.

One hundred and twenty specimens from this bed were collected underground from six pull drifts in five mines: West Side, Grace B, Big John, Little Greenback, and Mudd Mines. The specimens were collected at regular intervals, usually ten to twenty feet, beginning at the edge of …

Petrology And Mineralogy Of Certain Portions Of The Fredericktown Deposits, Farouk El Baz

Doctoral Dissertations

"The Fredericktown area is part of the 'Lead Belt' district of southeastern Missouri, the major lead-producing region in the world for fifty years. The district is a typical example of the Mississippi Valley Type deposits. The ores occur in Upper Cambrian sediments overlying Precambrian rocks.

The Fe-Cu-Pb-Zn (-Co-Ni) - sulphide deposits of Fredericktown occur over a few square kilometers in sediments overlying two 'granite knobs'. The sedimentary units lap upon and pinch-out against these buried basement hills.

The basal sedimentary unit, the Lamotte Formation, is a time-transgressive, marine, submature orthoquartzite. It contains a Boulder Bed at the base or at …

Stratigraphy Sedimentation And Petroleum Possibilities Of The Middle Ordovician (Kimmswick-Galena) Rocks Of Missouri, Illinois And Iowa, Krishna Kant Misra

Doctoral Dissertations

"Detailed surface and subsurface studies of the Kimmswick Limestone and the Galena Formation of Middle Ordovician age in eastern Missouri, western Illinois, and southeastern Iowa were conducted in order to examine their stratigraphic relations, geological history, environment of deposition, and petroleum possibilities.

The main objective of this study was to seek a stratigraphic subdivision of the Kimmswick Limestone in Missouri, based on its gross lithology and thin section study, and its correlation with the Galena Formation in Illinois and Iowa. As a result of this study, based on the examination of twelve surface sections and 92 thin sections a three-fold …

In addition, comparisons with German deposits have been made"--Introduction, Objective and Outline of Study, page [1].

The Physical Limnology And Sedimentology Of Miller Lake, Martin River Glacier, South-Central Alaska, Edward Callender

Theses and Dissertations

Miller Lake is an ice-walled lake located on the terminus of the Martin River Glacier, south-central Alaska. It has an area of 1.36 km² and a mean depth of 25 meters. The lake basin was formed by the coalescence of several ice sinkholes and is characterized by extremely uneven bottom topography.

Analysis of detailed thermal data obtained during the summer of 1963 indicates that the lake is never permanently thermally stratified but does develop some stratification during periods of warm, calm weather. This stratification is easily destroyed by stormy weather. Miller Lake is classified as a subpolar lake due …

The Geology Of Eastern Wells County, North Dakota, Ronald J. Kresl

Theses and Dissertations

Late Wisconsinan (Pleistocene) glaciation was responsible for the varied landforms of eastern Wells County. The Burnstad-Streeter phase advanced from the north-northeast about 10,000 to 12,000 years ago and was obstructed by the elevated Missouri Coteau which caused basal shearing and subsequent movement of subglacial drift into the ice. As this ice stagnated, the resultant drift cover impeded ablation and insulated the waters of superglacial lakes present on the surface of the Coteau at that time. Abundant Pleistocene fossils have been found in the sediments of these former lakes. Upon complete ablation, characteristic dead-ice features resulted on the surface of the …

The Spearfish Formation In The Williston Basin Of Western North Dakota, Wallace G. Dow

Theses and Dissertations

The Spearfish Formation of the Black Hills has been traced into the Williston Basin of western North Dakota. In the basin, the formation can be divided into three members. In ascending order these are: (1) a lower gray shale and red siltstone unit herein named the Belfield Member, (2) a middle salt unit, the Pine Salt Member, and (3) an upper red siltstone and fine grained sandstone unit, the Saude Member. Type sections for all three members are herein established. Isopachous maps and stratigraphic cross sections have been prepared to delireate the thickness and distribution of each of the units …

Glacial Geology Of Western Wells County, North Dakota, George A. Faigle

Theses and Dissertations

The landforms of western Wells County were formed during late Wisconsinan glacial activity. Because of the relatively dry climate they have been modified only slightly by post-glacial erosion and mass wasting.

The southern one-third of the area is characterized by randomly-oriented mounds of till or dead-ice moraine. The dead-ice moraine originated when a large mass of stagnant ice ablated after typical glacial depositional features had formed on its drift-covered surface. Complete ablation of the ice resulted in the collapse of the previously formed features.

The remaining two-thirds of the area is characterized by and moraine, ground moraine, outwash, and meltwater …

The Glacial Geology Of Eastern Sheridan County, North Dakota, Thomas C. Gustavson

Theses and Dissertations

During late Pleistocene time two ice advances affected parts of eastern Sheridan County, North Dakota. The first advance deposited the Burnstad, Streeter and Grace City drifts, and covered the whole county. The second advance deposited the Martin drift and occupied only the northern quarter of the county.

The Streeter drift, characterize by dead-ice landforms and nonintegrated drainage, is separated from the Burnstad drift by a large partly collapsed outwash plain on the distal side of a pronounced ground moraine and poorly integrated drainage, is separated from the Streeter drift by the Lincoln Valley and moraine and the Missouri Coteau escarpment. …

Structural And Magnetic Characteristics Of The Belton Anomaly, Cass County, Missouri, Nagib Chamon

Masters Theses

"A vertical intensity magnetic survey of approximately 156 square miles in Cass County, central-west Missouri, revealed a broad circular anomaly whose magnetic relief exceeds 1000 gammas. Surface rocks are very gently inclined and are of Pennsylvanian age. Crystalline basement rocks are at a depth of approximately 2400 feet. Analysis of the data shows that the Belton anomaly consists of discontinuous smaller magnetic anomalies surrounding the central part of this broad anomaly. The central area of the Belton anomaly is occupied by a magnetic low. Analytical calculation showed that the source of the magnetic disturbance is at least 3650 feet below …

Origin Of Some Recent Tractional Sedimentary Structures In The Rio Puerco Near Bernardo, Socorro County, New Mexico, Lawrence H. Wagner

Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs

The Rio Puerco, in the area of study, occupies a valley eroded in the Santa Fe formation. The silty alluvium is incised by the present channel of the Rio Puerco to a depth of 10 to 25 feet. The depth of the alluvial fill in the area is not known. The channel is 50 to 300 feet wide with braod meanders interspersed with straight reaches. The Rio Puerco is ephemeral in the lower reaches with flow produced by local rains on the watershed.

Petrography Of The Olalla Stock, Okanagan Mountains, British Columbia, James Anton Sturdevant

Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs

The Olalla stock is located in the Okanagan Mountains of south-central British Columbia, about 20 miles north of the international boundary. It occupies approximately 6 square miles and consists of late Mesozoic mafic and ultramafic rocks and subordinate alkalic rocks, which have intruded previously folded and metamorphosed sediments of the Triassic (?) Shoemaker Foundation.

The rocks of the stock may be broadly grouped into two major categories: (1) those formed from the differentiation of a crystallizing magma that probably entered during the Nevadan orogeny, and (2) those formed by metasomatic replacement of pyroxenite. The rocks of the first category are, …

The Geology Of The South Mountain Area, Bernalillo, Sandoval, And Santa Fe Counties, New Mexico, Tommy B. Thompson

Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs

South Mountain is approximately 30 miles northeast of Albuquerque in the southern end of the San Pedro-Ortiz porphyry belt. It is a Tertiary monzonite laccolith that intrudes the Permian Abo and Yeso Formations and, in places, the Permian Glori eta Sandstone. The base of the lac­eolith lies on the Abo except in the southeastern part where it overlies the Mes eta Blanca Member of the Yeso. The incompetence of the Yeso appears to nave allowed the monzonitic magma to spread laterally throughout the stratigraphic interval up to the Glorieta Sandstone which was more resistant and broken only locally by the …

Lithostratigraphy And Correlation Of The Mississippian System In Nebraska, Marvin P. Carlson

Conservation and Survey Division: Faculty and Staff Publications

The purpose of this study is to describe and correlate rocks of Mississippian age within the state of Nebraska. Shales, generally classified as "Chattanooga" and commonly referred to as Devonian or Mississippian in the northern Mid-Continent, have been included in this study, although these shales are more generally believed to be Devonian and not Mississippian by most stratigraphers and paleontologists at the present time. Since rocks of Mississippian age are present only in the subsurface of Nebraska, the basic information for this report is derived from the microscopic study of cuttings and cores from test wells drilled within the state.

The Lower Devonian Water Canyon Formation Of Northeastern Utah, Michael E. Taylor

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

In 1948 Williams subdivided the Jefferson Formation of northeastern Utah into two formations. The upper formation was referred to as the Late Devonian Jefferson Formation and the lower formation the Early Devonian Water Canyon Formation (Williams, 1948, p. 1138). Since that time detailed study of the Water Canyon Formation has not been made. It is the purpose of this investigation to describe in detail the lithology and paleontology of the formation and their implication as to the environment of deposition of Early Devonian time in northeastern Utah.
