The Schmidt Site: A Geologic Report, Julie Stein

Honors Theses

The Schmidt Site (20 SA 192) is located in Saginaw County, south of the Cass River and just east of the Grand Trunk Railroad in the NE 1/4, sec. 19, T 11 N, R 4 E, of the Bridgeport Township (figs. 1, 2, 3). The area is a remnant of a glacial lake bottom. There is very little local relief. Higher elevation exists to the north that is called the Port Huron Moraine and to the southeast, the Juniata, Owosso and Flint Moraines. All of these systems are associated with the last advance of ice, namely the Valders Advance (fig. …

Petrogenetic And Trend Surface Analysis Of Hell Canyon Pluton, Montana, William M. Johanns

Masters Theses

I. Introduction

The purpose of this study is to ascertain the petrogensis of the Hell Canyon pluton through the use of standard petrographic techniques and three dimensional mineralogical variability trends. It is intended that this study will provide additional information to the ongoing investigations of the Boulder batholith sequence, of which this intrusion is a part.

The Boulder batholith is located in the Southeastern part of the Northern Rocky Mountains physiographic province in southwestern Montana. This province is typified by numerous rugged mountain ranges of which there are two distinct types. The Idahotype( Rocky Mountain Association of Geologists, 1972) mountains, …

Implications Of Photogeologic Linears In The South Long Lake Area, Alpena And Presque Isle Counties, Michigan, Richard E. Kimmel

Masters Theses

There are numerous linear features in Alpena and Presque Isle Counties, Michigan, which are generally visible on aerial photographs. These photolinears trend in two general directions, northeast-southwest and northwest-southeast. These two sets are perpendicular to each other, and represent vector means of two fracture sets.

The development of the photolinears began in Early Devonian. Throughout its history, ground water flowed along underground channels connecting fracture intersections. This underground drainage network is responsible for many of the photolinears. Some of the photolinears can be attributed tb Early Devonian ground water activity and subsequent collapse of the Salina Salt basin, and some …

An Investigation Of Drift-Covered Environments Using The Shallow Reflection Seismic Method, Kalamazoo County, Michigan, Thomas Patrick Luby

Masters Theses

Seismic work utilizing a six-channel analog seismograph and a hammer impact source successfully obtained coherent reflection events from horizon within the glacial overburden, from the drift-paleozoic interface, and from Paleozoic bedrock targets. Fieldwork was conducted in eight drift-covered environments where the drift thickness varied from 80 feet to greater than 500 feet. Factors that exerted a major control over the seismic response at each environment studied include the depth of the water table, the type of surface material underlying the shot point and geophone spread, and the use of single versus multiple geophones per channel. Each of these factors influenced …
