Regional Stratigraphy of North America
Author: W.J. Frazier
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1461317959
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 735
Book Description
An early reviewer of this book stated that he had difficulty assessing its marketability because it "falls between the cracks" of geological literature. We have designed this book to meet a need of modem geology: namely, a single source providing both detailed and synoptic stratigraphy of the various regions of North America, through geological time. Shortly after beginning work on such a book, we realized why it had not yet been written: it required six years of effort, assimilation of an incredible amount of information, and two years' additional work to cut the volume down to publishable size. Further, by the time the final chapter was written, the fIrst few were already out of date. Nevertheless, the book lies in front of you. It is intended to serve several purposes. As a textbook, it will serve the following courses: • Regional stratigraphy • Sedimentary tectonics • Regional tectonics • Advanced historical geology • Survey-level paleontology Obviously, not all portions of the book are relevant to all of the above courses. We assume the reader will retain this book after the particular course is done, and will use it as a reference book. Hopefully, others will obtain the book solely for reference purposes. We believe it will be especially useful for the working geologist or academic geologist seeking generalized and some moderately detailed information about a region or geological time interval which is unfamiliar.

Precambrian to Earliest Mississippian Stratigraphy, Geologic History, and Paleogeography of Northwestern Colorado and West-central Colorado
Author: James M. Soule
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Geology
Languages : en
Pages : 44
Book Description
The early Paleozoic of northwestern and west-central Colorado is represented by continental shelf and continental shelf marginal sedimentary rocks of Late Cambrian, Ordovician, and Late Devonian ages. Differentially epeirogenic movements along fracture systems having Precambrian origins affected sedimentation patterns and probably mostly account for intervening times of erosion or nondeposition; activity along these tectonic elements persisted into the Neogene and possibly continues. These tectonic elements are west-north-west, south-southeast, and northeast trending fracture systems and an east-trending aulacogen in the approximate area of the modern Uinta Mountains. North-central Colorado was emergent land throughout most of this time and shed clastic sediments at varying rates to the west and southwest. Episodic continental motion and the effects of the Antler orogeny to the west are probably the direct causes of these epeirogenic movements.
