Magnetostratigraphy susceptibility of the Upper Ordovician Kope Formation, northern Kentucky
As a test of the utility of magnetic susceptibility (MS) measurements for correlation among lithified marine sequences, samples were collected from well-studied shale and limestone outcrops of the Upper Ordovician Kope Formation, northern Kentucky. The bulk (initial) low-field MS of these samples is compared among two lithoand biostratigraphically correlated sections containing the same beds. T...
متن کاملThe Geology of Ohio--the Ordovician
To geologists, the Ordovician System of Ohio is probably the most famous of the state's Paleozoic rock systems. The alternating shales and limestones of the upper part of this system crop out in southwestern Ohio in the Cincinnati region and yield an incredible abundance and diversity of well-preserved fossils. Representatives of this fauna reside in museums and private collections throughout t...
متن کاملCycle anatomy and variability in the storm-dominated type cincinnatian (Upper Ordovician): coming to grips with cycle delineation and genesis.
Although parasequence and sequence are scale-independent terms, they are frequently applied only to specific scales of cycles. For example, meter-scale cycles are commonly assumed to be parasequences or PACs. In the Upper Ordovician Kope and Fairview Formations of northern Kentucky, we examined a succession of 50 meter-scale cycles that have been variously interpreted as deepening-upward, shall...
متن کاملConodonts and Biostratigraphy of Upper Ordovician Strata along a Shelf to Basin Transect in Central Nevada
Conodonts representing 38 species of 26 genera have been identified in samples from Upper Ordovician rocks at three central Nevada localities. Ranges of these species and associated graptolites are used graphically to determine correlation of the strata considered with an evolving composite standard that includes information from Ordovician strata at more than 100 localities in North America. R...
متن کاملPALYNOLOGICAL STUDY OF PALEOZOIC SEDIMENTS OF THE CHAL-I-SHEH AREA, SOUTHWESTERN IRAN
The Paleozoic sediments of the Chal-i-Sheh area in southwestern Iran comprising of Mila Formation, Ilebek Formation and Faraghan Formation, were studied palynologically. The samples containing well-preserved palynomorphs include acritarchs, chitinozoans, scolecodonts and pollenlspores. A palynological zonation has been established and comparison was made with other parts of the world. Based...
