A high-flux, Late Cretaceous magmatic event in the western United States has been tested as a zircon source for high-resolution chronostratigraphic correlation in coeval sedimentary rocks in northwest...

Evolution of fracture porosity and permeability during folding by cataclastic flow: Implications for syntectonic fluid flow 19 Dec 2012 | 12:20 am

The Canyon Range Syncline, central Utah, folded and continued to tighten by cataclastic flow, where fracture-bound blocks, defined by a distributed network of mesoscale (outcrop) fracture sets slid pa...

A late Eocene (Chadronian) mammalian fauna from the White River Formation in Kings Canyon, northern Colorado 19 Dec 2012 | 12:20 am

Several decades (1940s–2011) of prospecting and collecting of mammalian fossils from late Eocene strata of the White River Formation in Kings Canyon, a high-altitude (~2,500 m; 8,200 ft) paleovalley i...

Petrology of the Eureka Quartzite (Middle and Late Ordovician), Utah and Nevada, U.S.A. 19 Dec 2012 | 12:20 am

The Eureka Quartzite is a sheet-like quartzarenite up to 200-m thick that was deposited on the eastern shelf of the Cordilleran miogeocline from Canada to California. It is the only sandstone lithosom...
