Volcanic stratigraphy of the Deschutes Formation, Green Ridge to Fly Creek, north-central Oregon

Creator:: Conrey, Richard M.
Abstract:: About 225 lava flows and ash-flow tuffs of the Deschutes Formation (DF) were mapped at Green Ridge. The units fill east-trending paleovalleys which "sky-out" westward and dip east; the eastward dip of the units decreases as they are traced eastward. The source of the units was west of Green Ridge...

The stratigraphy, structure, and sedimentology of the cretaceous nanaimo group, Galiano Island, British Columbia

Creator:: Carter, Jack Melton
Abstract:: Four formations of the Cretaceous Nanaimo Group crop out on Galiano Island and on Parker and Gossip Islands, nearby. These formations are: early Campanian Geoffrey Formation which encloses a tongue of the Northumberland Formation; early Campanian to late Maestrichtian Spray Formation; and Maestrichtian Gabriola Formation. The stratigraphic succession has a...

The stratigraphy, geochemistry, and mineralogy of two ash-flow tuffs in the Deschutes Formation, central Oregon

Creator:: Cannon, Debra May
Abstract:: Two ash-flow tuff units of the late Miocene-early Pliocene Deschute Formation in central Oregon were studied in detail because of the widespread distribution, diverse compositions, and stratigraphic importance. The Lower Bridge tuff is a double-flow simple cooling unit that is poorly welded. The upper flow grades from rhyolite in the...

The geology and stratigraphy of the Tertiary volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks, with special emphasis on the Deschutes Formation, from Lake Simtustus to Madras in central Oregon

Creator:: Jay, Jeremy Barth
Abstract:: A sequence of volcanic, volcaniclastic, and epiclastic deposits from Oligocene to Recent age are exposed in the region from Lake Simtustus to Madras in central Oregon. The epiclastic sediments of the Oligocene John Day Formation are unconformably overlain by two flows of the middle Miocene Columbia River Basalt Group. The...

The geology and mineralization of the Peck Mountain area Hornet Quadrangle, Idaho

Creator:: Wracher, David Allen
Abstract:: The Peck Mountain area is located in west-central Idaho just 15 miles east of the Oregon-Idaho border. It is tectonically located within the "Columbia Arc" of the Nevadan oroaenic belt. The Seven Devils Volcanics, Permian to Traissic in age, are the oldest rocks in the area. They are composed of...

The Deschutes Formation-- High Cascade transition in the Whitewater River area, Jefferson County, Oregon

Creator:: Yogodzinski, Gene M.
Abstract:: The Whitewater River area is located directly east of Mt. Jefferson in the Cascades of central Oregon. Approximately 90 mi2 (230 km2) were mapped (scale 1/24,000) and four new K-Ar ages and 151 major element analyses were obtained in a study of the stratigraphic and magmatic transition from the Miocene...

Stratigraphy, petrology and provenance of the Cretaceous Gable Creek Formation, Wheeler County, Oregon

Creator:: Little, Stephen W.
Abstract:: The Mitchell inlier in north-central Oregon contains the largest exposure of Cretaceous marine sedimentary rocks in this region. Nearly 9,000 ft of Albian-Cenamanian rocks are exposed along the flanks of the Mitchell anticline. The Cretaceous section rests unconformably overlain by Tertiary volcanic rocks. The Cretaceous rocks have previously been divided...

Stratigraphy and sedimentology of the middle eocene Cowlitz Formation and adjacent sedimentary and volcanic units in the Longview-Kelso area, southwest Washington

Creator:: McCutcheon, Mark S.
Abstract:: Geologic mapping of the Longview-Kelso area and the measurement and description of a composite 650-meter thick stratigraphic section of the Cowlitz Formation (Tc) in Coal Creek using bio-, magneto-, litho-, and sequence stratigraphy reveals a complex interplay of Cowlitz micaceous, lithic arkosic shelf to tidal/estuarine to delta plain facies associations,...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

Petrology of the Bend pumice and Tumalo tuff, a Pleistocene Cascade eruption involving magma mixing

Creator:: Hill, Brittain Eames
Abstract:: The Bend pumice and Tumalo tuff are products of a plinian eruption which occurred sometime between 0.89 and 2.6 m.y. The Bend pumice is a poorly consolidated, air-fall vitric lapilli tuff, which overlies a zone of reworked tephra. Perlitic obsidian in the reworked zone probably represents the remains of a...

Gravity and crustal structure of the south-central Gulf of Mexico, the Yucatan Peninsula, and adjacent areas from 17°30ʹN to 26°N and from 84°W to 93°W

Creator:: Alvarado Omana, Miguel Angel
Abstract:: About 9600 nautical miles of marine gravity, magnetic, and bathymetric data were collected by Oregon State University during the cruise Yucatan'85 in the north and eastern margins of the Yucatan Peninsula, using a research vessel of the Mexican Navy, the Altair. A compilation of Yucatan' 85 marine data and marine...

Geology of the southernmost Deschutes basin, Tumalo quadrangle, Deschutes County, Oregon

Creator:: McDannel, Angela K.
Abstract:: The Tumalo quadrangle lies approximately 30 kilometers behind the Cascade volcanic arc and marks the southernmost extent of continuously exposed Deschutes Formation rocks. Deschutes Formation rocks in the Tumalo quadrangle include late Miocene volcaniclastic sedimentary rocks, ignimbrites and lapillistones, and late Miocene to early Pliocene basalts and basaltic andesites. Volcaniclastic...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

Geology of the Fly Creek quadrangle and the north half of Round Butte Dam quadrangle, Oregon

Creator:: Hewitt, Samuel Loyd
Abstract:: A thick sequence of intercalated andesite and basalt flows, tuffs, and volcanic sediments crop out in the Fly Creek Quadrangle and the north half of the Round Butte Dam Quadrangle. This sequence was deposited in the ancestral Deschutes River Valley along the east flank of the Cascade Range during the...

Geology of the Clarno Formation in the vicinity of Stephenson Mountain, Jefferson, Crook and Wheeler counties, Oregon

Creator:: Stroh, Harold Raymond
Abstract:: The thesis area is located in north-central Oregon approximately 20 km west of the town of Mitchell. The rocks exposed in the area belong to the Clarno Formation. This study supports the informal reclassification of the Clarno to Group status, composed of an Upper and Lower Clarno Formation. An angular...

Geology of part of the northern half of the Bend quadrangle, Jefferson and Deschutes counties, Oregon

Creator:: Stensland, Donald Eugene
Abstract:: The mapped area is part of the middle Deschutes Basin of central Oregon, which lies in the northwestern corner of the High Lava Plains physiographic province, between the Cascade and Ochoco Mountains. It is underlain by Cenozoic lavas, tuffs and sediments of continental origin. The oldest rocks in the sequence...

Biostratigraphy, depositional environments, and paleogeography of Lower and Middle Devonian rocks, Death Valley area, California

Creator:: Heironimus, Thurman L.
Abstract:: During Early and Middle Devonian time, the main part of the Death Valley area was characterized by shallow marine shelf position. In the extreme western part, deposition took place in carbonate slope environments. Early and Middle Devonian eastern platform dolomites, represented by uppermost Hidden Valley Dolomite and lower Lost Burro...
