The Instability Of Folded Structures, Robert Del Mar
The Instability Of Folded Structures, Robert Del Mar
Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs
Folded structures are not necessarily stable through geologic time. "Unfolding" is defined as the changes in attitude through with folded structures go subsequent to their creation by tectonic means, other than by faulting alone. The principal types of unfolding, together with their causes, are: (1) the effect of gravity on isolated structures, and the effects of loading and unloading insofar as the gravitational force is concerned; (2) basining action and its effect on unloading; (3) the action of vertical forces on folded structures; (4) migrating or "wave" folds in relation to unfolding.

Stratigraphic Analysis Of The Upper Cretaceous Pictured Cliffs Sandstone In Northeastern San Juan County, New Mexico, John W. Caldwell
Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs
The San Juan Basin is located in northwestern New Mexico and southern Colorado and is physiographically a part of the Colorado Plateau province.
The Upper Cretaceous Pictured Cliffs sandstone is exposed around the perimeter of the San Juan Basin and is present throughout the greater part of the Basin in the subsurface. This economically important gas-bearing sandstone is situated in the structural basin in which the strata are upturned on the basinward flanks of the nearby Laramide cliffs.
Five possible origins for the Pictured Cliffs gas are presented: from the underlying Lewis shale, from within the Pictured Cliffs sandstone, from …

The Variegated Member Of The Morrison Formation In The Southeastern Part Of The San Juan Basin, Valencia County New Mexico, William L. Chenoweth
Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs
The strata now designated as Morrison in western New Mexico have been known by a variety of names since the beginning of geological exploration in the West. The nomenclature has become confused due to the many facies that are present. Recent exploration for uranium has renewed interest in the stratigraphy of the Morrison formation.
The Huego (Gym) Limestone, Luna County, New Mexico, Lowell E. Bogart
The Huego (Gym) Limestone, Luna County, New Mexico, Lowell E. Bogart
Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs
Southwestern New Mexico is characterized by Basin and Range Physiography. Nearly level bolson plains are interrupted irregularly by linear mountain ranges. Sedimentary rocks ranging in age from Cambrian and recent crop out in the mountain areas. Darton (1916) mapped and described a limestone formation, about 1,000 feet thick, which he named Gym limestone. He thought the Gym was restricted in outcrop to Luna County and was distinct from previously described Paleozoic formations. The Gym was originally thought to be Pennsylvanian in age but later on was regarded as Permian. In the restudy of the Gym limestone was the basis of …
The Structural Geology Of The Cerrillos Hills Area, New Mexico, Alan E. Disbrow
The Structural Geology Of The Cerrillos Hills Area, New Mexico, Alan E. Disbrow
Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs
The earliest major structural deformation recorded in rocks exposed in the Cerrillos area occurred during the Laramie uplift of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. This resulted in an erosional wedging of Upper Cretaceous strata at a rate of 130 feet per mile. Subsequent deposition of the Eocene Galisteo sand, clay, and gravel overstepped this surface in a sourceward direction.
At the beginning of work on this project the major problem was to determine the geological structure of the Cerrillos Hills. It was felt that a large-scale geologic map of an area extensive enough to reveal the structurally complex center of …

A New Basic Copper Phosphate Mineral From Santa Rita, New Mexico, David B. Givens
A New Basic Copper Phosphate Mineral From Santa Rita, New Mexico, David B. Givens
Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs
Supergene minerals are not common, nor are they rare at Santa Rita, New Mexico. Kerr (1950,307) reports the presence of cuprite, melaconite, native copper, chrysocolla, machite and azurite. There is also smithsonite present.
The physical appearance of the mineral, coupled with preliminary determinations of the indices of refraction, gave a rough correspondence with dihydrite (Larson and Berman, 1934, 135). However, enough discrepancy existed to warrant taking powder and Weissenberg X-Ray pictures. From these it was evident immediately that the specimen was a new mineral species.
Progress Report: Chemical Quality Of The Surface Waters In The Loup River Basin, Nebraska, John G. Connor
Progress Report: Chemical Quality Of The Surface Waters In The Loup River Basin, Nebraska, John G. Connor
Publications of the US Geological Survey
The Loup River and its tributaries transport moderate amounts of siliceous minerals from the sand hills region of north-central Nebraska to the Platte River near Columbus, Nebr. Predominant chemical characteristics of these waters are a high percentage of silica, moderate hardness, and a low percentage of sodium. The composition of the Loup River water is influenced by the geologic formations through which ground water, a major contributor to the flows of the Loup River branches, has percolated. Investigation of water quality at or near proposed dam sites in the Loup River basin indicates that if soil and drainage conditions are …

Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs
The immediate concern of the writer in the preparation of this thesis is not so much to give long statistical lists of conclusions (unfortunately this type of material is exceedingly scarce), but to sift the readily available facts in print and prepare a brief history of the work already accomplished on living and fossil Brachipoda. Where possible, there will be a discussion and evaluation of the views presented by different authors.
Correlation Between Electric And Lithologic Characteristics In Four Wells In San Juan County, New Mexico, Edward C. Beaumont
Correlation Between Electric And Lithologic Characteristics In Four Wells In San Juan County, New Mexico, Edward C. Beaumont
Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs
The primary objective of the problem is to relate electric characteristics to lithologic characteristics in four wells in San Juan County, New Mexico. The secondary objective is to decipher stratigraphic correlations between wells. The wells, in San Juan County, are geologically located in the San Juan Basin, a structural basin in the Colorado Plateau. The formations range in age from Paleozoic Cambrian (?) to Cenozoic Recent. The boundaries of the Basin are ill-defined and have shifted throughout the history of the area.

Geology And Ore Deposits Of The Dunmore Mine, Ouray County, Colorado, Caswell Silver
Geology And Ore Deposits Of The Dunmore Mine, Ouray County, Colorado, Caswell Silver
Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs
The Dunmore lode is located near Ouray, Colorado in the northwest part of the San Juan Mountains. In structure as well as mineral assemblage it shows a connection between the chimneys and veins of the region. The lode averages about 100 feet wide for 1,200 feet along the Dunmore claim. The fissure zone is over two miles long and displacement along it has offset a folded pre-Cambrian complex 4,500 feet prior to the deposition of 2,400 feet of volcanic tuff. Fissures in the pre-Cambrian rocks controlled in part the intrusion of dikes and the formation of veins. Late Tertiary faulting …

The Aerosphere As A Network Connector Of Organisms And Their Diseases, Jeremy D. Ross, Eli S. Bridge, Diann J. Prosser, John Y. Takekawa
United States Geological Survey: Staff Publications
Aeroecological processes, especially powered flight of animals, can rapidly connect biological communities across the globe. This can have profound consequences for evolutionary diversification, energy and nutrient transfers, and the spread of infectious diseases. The latter is of particular consequence for human populations, since migratory birds are known to host diseases which have a history of transmission into domestic poultry or even jumping to human hosts. In this chapter, we present a scenario under which a highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) strain enters North America from East Asia via postmolting waterfowl migration. We use an agent-based model (ABM) to simulate the …
