Abstract:

The Palisades is an impressive ridge within the Sheep Creek Canyon Geological Area—an area nestled on the north flank of the eastern Uinta Mountains not far from Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area. Sheep Creek cuts through the Palisades, as well as the heart of the geological area, to reveal about 800 million years of geology, from ancient environments to the rise and ultimate erosion of the Uinta Mountains. The oldest rocks exposed at the Palisades comprise the upper part of the Neoproterozoic (about 770 million years ago) Uinta Mountain Group, which have been thrusted upon the Mississippian (about 350 million years ago) Deseret Limestone (equivalent to the upper Madison Limestone). That thrust fault and others exposed along the north and south sides of the Palisades are part of the Uinta thrust fault zone, which is responsible for intense folding of both formations. Although the uplift of the Uinta Mountains and related deformation along the Uinta fault zone set the stage for development of the Palisades, it was erosion that revealed and shaped this spectacular feature.

Abstract:

Abstract Twenty-one sediment cores were obtained from 20 lakes in the Uinta Mountains, Utah, USA. Depth-age models were developed using 14C dating, and sediments were analyzed for loss-on-ignition (LOI), carbon-nitrogen ratio (C:N), and grain size distribution. Although some of these cores have been considered individually in previous studies, here the entire set of cores is evaluated collectively to identify consistent patterns, commonalities, and trends in the post-glacial interval. All lakes accumulated substantially greater amounts of submicron-size clastic material before ca. 9.5 ka BP. This pattern is interpreted as a signal of prolonged landscape instability following deglaciation. Values of LOI and C:N exhibit a strong, positive correlation in nearly all lakes, indicating that organic matter accumulation is controlled by the influx of terrestrial material. In the six lakes exhibiting the strongest correlation, and featuring the most robust inflowing streams, median grain size and the abundance of sand increased between 10 and 6 ka BP, simultaneous with increases in LOI and C:N. This correspondence is interpreted as evidence for frequent high-intensity storms during the early Holocene, likely driven by enhanced monsoonal circulation. The early parts of five of the records contain a sharp increase in LOI. Lakes exhibiting this pattern are typically smaller and shallower, and are located in less rugged watersheds. Finally, all six cores from the western Uinta Mountains contain evidence for an environmental perturbation ca. 4.5 ka BP. Although the nature of this event is unclear, these lakes accumulated notably finer-grained sediment with less organic matter at this time. This analysis illuminates the post-glacial history of this strategically located mountain range, and underscores the value inherent in analyzing cores from multiple lakes when reconstructing paleoclimatic history.

Abstract:

Aside from the recorded travels of Juan de Rivera in 1765 and the Dominguez-Escalante party in 1776, the earliest reports involving explorations into Utah were mostly those for proposed railroad lines and trade routes, or for general knowledge of the poorly known Western Territories (1840s to 1870s). These explorations were usually conducted under the auspices of the United States Army. Scientists, including geologists/paleontologists, commonly accompanied the survey parties. The first surveys whose prime objectives were to study geology and topography were commissioned by Congress in 1867. The earliest discovery of a vertebrate fossil in Utah apparently took place on the J. N. Macomb expedition of 1859 (which generally followed the Old Spanish Trail), when J. S. Newberry collected dinosaur bones in the southeastern part of the state. F. V. Hayden's 1870 survey may have extended into northernmost Utah. It is possible that a few of the Eocene age fossils which were reported by him from southernmost Wyoming, came from here. Fossils collected during the Hayden survey prompted a vertebrate fossil collecting trip headed by J. Leidy into the same area two years later. Also in 1870, O. C. Marsh discovered and named the Uinta Basin, making a significant fossil vertebrate collection there. Numerous Eocene mammals as well as reptiles and fish were collected in the Basin proper, while a turtle shell and dinosaur teeth were recovered from the upturned Mesozoic beds on the eastern rim of the Uinta Basin. A Jurassic crocodile humerus was found by Marsh along the eastern flank of the Uinta Mountains. In subsequent years before the turn of the century several institutions sent paleontological parties into this area. E. D. Cope in 1880 identified fossil fish and a crocodile from Eocene deposits of central Utah. Pleistocene mammals were first reported by P. A. Chadbourne (1871) and C. King (1878) from Salt Lake and Utah valleys. While early expeditions for vertebrate fossils concentrated largely on adjacent states, many of America's prominent 19th Century vertebrate paleontologists collected fossils in Utah. Their work pioneered the way for present-day paleontologists.

Abstract:

The outcrop belt of the Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation in the northeastern Uinta Basin and southeastern flank of the Uinta Mountains is particularly rich in dinosaurian and non-dinosaurian faunas, as well as in fossil plants. The discovery of several well-preserved, relatively intact, fossil logs at several locations in Rainbow Draw and one location in Miners Draw, both near Dinosaur National Monument (Utah), has provided an opportunity to study the local paleobotany, stratigraphy, and sedimentology of the Morrison Formation in northeastern Utah. The Morrison Formation in northeastern Utah consists of four members. In ascending chronostratigraphic order, they are the Windy Hill, Tidwell, Salt Wash, and Brushy Basin Members. The lithology (including the presenceof glauconite grains) and fossil assemblage of the lower two members (Windy Hill and Tidwell) indicate a marine to marginal marine (coastal plain) depositional environment, whereas the lithology, fossil flora and faunaassemblage of the upper two members (Salt Wash and Brushy Basin) indicate a fluvial–lacustrine depositional environment. At least 10 fossil log sites in Rainbow Draw have been documented so far, and geologic mapping indicates that the logs and wood all occur in the same stratigraphic interval within the Salt Wash Member, approximately 17 to 27 m above the base of the member. The unit containing the logs and wood is about 11 m thick and consists of very fine to fine-grained sandstone and siltstone with indistinct bedding and no discernible sedimentary features.The logs are siliceous, some have a coaly exterior, and they range in exposed length from 0.5 to 11 m and reach diameters up to 1.1 m. In the Miners Draw area, a single siliceous log is documented in the upper part of the Salt Wash Member within a silty sandstone unit that is 4 m thick; its exposed length is about 6 m. Although the correlation of the Miners Draw log-bearing interval to the interval in Rainbow Draw is uncertain, both units are lithologically similar and both occur in the upper part of the Salt Wash Member. The logs have been identified as araucariaceous conifers that pertain to the same taxon originally described as Araucarioxylon hoodii Tidwell et Medlyn 1993 from Mt. Ellen in the Henry Mountains of southern Utah. Concurrent systematic work will prompt a nomenclatural transfer of this species to the genus Agathoxylon. Based on the abundance of large fossil logs and wood in the same stratigraphic interval in Rainbow Draw, wehypothesize that the area was covered by stands of moderately large trees of araucariaceous conifers. The sedimentological evidence suggests that the trees were not transported far from their original site of growth before they were deposited in a low-energy floodplain environment.
