Stratigraphy, Lithofacies And Depositional Environment Of The Cowlitz Formation, T. 4 And 5n., R. 5w. Northwest Oregon, Dale M. Timmons
Dissertations and Theses
The Cowlitz Formation in southern Columbia and Clatsop counties, northwest Oregon was studied in order to prepare a geologic map of parts of this formation and to determine the character of its lithofacies and the environments of deposition.
The Structure, Geologic Evolution And Regional Significance Of The Bethel Creek-North Fork Area, Coos And Curry Counties, Oregon, Carl Fredrick Gullixson

Dissertations and Theses
The original purpose of this study was a detailed structural analysis of the Jurassic Otter Point Formation in order to determine if the Canyonville Fault Zone, which forms the northern boundary of the Klamath Mountains in the Riddle - Canyonville area (Benson and Perttu, 1980), extends westward to the coast and, if possible, to characterize the structure of the Otter Point Formation. Further, a detailed examination of the structural and stratigraphic relationships between the Otter Point Formation and the Eocene Roseburg and Lookingglass Formations was to be performed in an attempt to determine the tectonic history of the area.
The Stratigraphy And Structure Of The Columbia River Basalt Group In The Bull Run Watershed, Multnomah And Clackamas Counties, Oregon, Beverly Frobenius Vogt
The Stratigraphy And Structure Of The Columbia River Basalt Group In The Bull Run Watershed, Multnomah And Clackamas Counties, Oregon, Beverly Frobenius Vogt
Dissertations and Theses
Approximately 150 meters (500 feet) of Grande Ronde Basalt and 140 meters (450 feet) of Wanapum Basalt of the Columbia River Basalt Group are exposed in the Bull Run Watershed. In Bull Run, the Grande Ronde Basalt is divided into three mappable units: "low Mg" R2 (at least one flow), "low Mg" N2 (approximately four flows), and "high Mg" N2 (two to three flows}. The Wanapum Basalt is represented by two members: Frenchman Springs Member (six flows) and Priest Rapids Member (one flow). These units are identified by instrumental neutron activation analysis, paleomagnetism based on measurements with …
Stratigraphy, Lithofacies, And Environment Of Deposition Of The Scappoose Formation In Central Columbia County, Oregon, Kevin Blair Kelty
Stratigraphy, Lithofacies, And Environment Of Deposition Of The Scappoose Formation In Central Columbia County, Oregon, Kevin Blair Kelty
Dissertations and Theses
The study area is located in central Columbia County and encompasses approximately 373 square kilometers. The purpose of the study was to map lithofacies to a scale of 1:31250, study the petrography of the lithofacies, determine the stratigraphy, and develop a model for environment of deposition of the Scappoose Formation.
