Book Synopsis A Taphonomic Study of Selected Sites in the Poison Strip Sandstone and Ruby Ranch Members of the Cedar Mountain Formation (Lower Cretaceous), East Central Utah by : David A. Lee
Download or read book A Taphonomic Study of Selected Sites in the Poison Strip Sandstone and Ruby Ranch Members of the Cedar Mountain Formation (Lower Cretaceous), East Central Utah written by David A. Lee and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taphonomic characteristics were explored and described in order to understand the relationship between preservation of vertebrate fossils and corresponding lithostratigraphic units in the upper Cedar Mountain Formation of east-central Utah. This was accomplished through collection, analysis, and interpretation of taphonomic data collected from fossil specimens and their corresponding stratigraphic units from two localities: Tonys Bone Bed (Poison Strip Sandstone Member) and Lorries Site (Ruby Ranch Member). In addition to original quarry descriptions and assemblage information, taphonomic data were collected, including weathering and abrasion, which were compared by locality and element shape in order to determine their relationship. Data regarding fracturing and breakage were also collected and analyzed in order to better understand the post-depositional conditions of bone degradation. Both localities were described and characterized by weathering traits, abrasion traits, degree of articulation, preferred long bone orientation, and corresponding lithofacies. Tonys Bone Bed is characterized by less prominent degrees of weathering and differential transport abrasion by element shape, as well as preferred long-bone orientation, and corresponds to a lake margin debris flow and pedogenically altered overbank deposit. Lorries Site is characterized by more pronounced weathering, which is differentiated based on element shape, prominent long-bone orientation, and corresponds to a crevasse splay deposit with carbonate concretionary development.

Book Synopsis Vertebrate Paleontology in Utah by : David D. Gillette
Download or read book Vertebrate Paleontology in Utah written by David D. Gillette and published by Utah Geological Survey. This book was released on 1999 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 52 papers in this vary in content from summaries or state-of-knowledge treatments, to detailed contributions that describe new species. Although the distinction is subtle, the title (Vertebrate Paleontology in Utah) indicates the science of paleontology in the state of Utah, rather than the even more ambitious intent if it were given the title “Vertebrate Paleontology of Utah” which would promise an encyclopedic treatment of the subject. The science of vertebrate paleontology in Utah is robust and intense. It has grown prodigiously in the past decade, and promises to continue to grow indefinitely. This research benefits everyone in the state, through Utah’s muse ums and educational institutions, which are the direct beneficiaries.
Book Synopsis Life Traces of the Georgia Coast by : Anthony J. Martin
Download or read book Life Traces of the Georgia Coast written by Anthony J. Martin and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2013-01-14 with total page 714 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever wondered what left behind those prints and tracks on the seashore, or what made those marks or dug those holes in the dunes? Life Traces of the Georgia Coast is an up-close look at these traces of life and the animals and plants that made them. It tells about how the tracemakers lived and how they interacted with their environments. This is a book about ichnology (the study of such traces) and a wonderful way to learn about the behavior of organisms, living and long extinct. Life Traces presents an overview of the traces left by modern animals and plants in this biologically rich region; shows how life traces relate to the environments, natural history, and behaviors of their tracemakers; and applies that knowledge toward a better understanding of the fossilized traces that ancient life left in the geologic record. Augmented by illustrations of traces made by both ancient and modern organisms, the book shows how ancient trace fossils directly relate to modern traces and tracemakers, among them, insects, grasses, crabs, shorebirds, alligators, and sea turtles. The result is an aesthetically appealing and scientifically grounded book that will serve as source both for scientists and for anyone interested in the natural history of the Georgia coast.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Bubbles over with the joy of scientific discovery as he shares his natural enthusiasm for the blend of sleuthing and imagination."—Publishers Weekly, starred review What if we woke up one morning all of the dinosaur bones in the world were gone? How would we know these iconic animals had a165-million year history on earth, and had adapted to all land-based environments from pole to pole? What clues would be left to discern not only their presence, but also to learn about their sex lives, raising of young, social lives, combat, and who ate who? What would it take for us to know how fast dinosaurs moved, whether they lived underground, climbed trees, or went for a swim?Welcome to the world of ichnology, the study of traces and trace fossils – such as tracks, trails, burrows, nests, toothmarks, and other vestiges of behavior – and how through these remarkable clues, we can explore and intuit the rich and complicated lives of dinosaurs. With a unique, detective-like approach, interpreting the forensic clues of these long-extinct animals that leave a much richer legacy than bones, Martin brings the wild world of the Mesozoic to life for the 21st century reader.

Book Synopsis Cedar Mountain and Dakota Formations Around Dinosaur National Monument by : Douglas A. Sprinkel
Download or read book Cedar Mountain and Dakota Formations Around Dinosaur National Monument written by Douglas A. Sprinkel and published by Utah Geological Survey. This book was released on 2012 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 20 page report describes the stratigraphy of the Cedar Mountain and Dakota formations in and around Dinosaur National Monument in northeast Utah and includes new palynology and radiometric age data. The contract between these formations is unconformable in which the Dakota formation has incised into the underlying Cedar Mountain formation. Locally, the Dakota includes a basal marine mudstone and shale unit that contains late Albian dinoflagellate cysts, which represents peak sea level during the Kiowa-Skull Creek depositional cycle and indicates the first marine incursion of the Cretaceous Western Interior Seaway into Utah.

Book Synopsis Subsidence Analysis and Visualization by : Eun Young Lee
Download or read book Subsidence Analysis and Visualization written by Eun Young Lee and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-06-15 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive introduction to techniques for quantitative subsidence analysis and visualization with example applications. Subsidence analysis is an essential step to understand basin evolution through geologic time and space in the study of sediments and sedimentary basins. Quantifying techniques have been developed and applied in many basin research projects to evaluate total, tectonic and thermal subsidence. They are also a pre-requisite for basin evolution modelling. Recent studies have applied visualization techniques to understand regional subsidence contexts and trends, which confirmed that three-dimensional visualization of the basin subsidence is highly helpful to gain insight into basin evolution. In this book, we show how geoscience and computer science can be effectively combined in advanced basin analysis, especially in terms of basin subsidence. Each type of subsidence analysis is introduced with example applications. In particular we present a study of the Vienna basin using BasinVis, a MATLAB-based program for analyzing and visualizing basin subsidence. Given its breadth of coverage, this book will benefit students in undergraduate and postgraduate courses and provide helpful information for research projects and industry applications.
