USGS Denver Micro-fossil collection: Fossil Algae The Denver fossil algae database were gathered from the inception of Denver Region in 1953 by Richard Rezak. His specialty was algae, carbonate platforms, and off-shore modern reefs. He developed a very useful litho-stratigraphic tool while studying Proterozoic algae and stromatolites in Glacier National Park. This lead to his studies of modern analogs in the Caribbean and South Seas. His catalogs were converted into digital form, Excel and Filemaker Pro database. The Catalog consist of 1001 fossil localities. His supplementary data has been added whenever possible - sources field map locality points, E&R files with enhanced faunal lists, as well as formal publications Categories: Data; Types: Downloadable, Map Service, OGC WFS Layer, OGC WMS Layer, Shapefile; Tags: Eastern Asia, USGS Science Data Catalog (SDC), United States, algae, biota, All tags... fossils, litho-stratigraphy, none, stromatolites, Fewer tags Directory of Public Repositories of Geological Materials Overview This directory was developed to provide discovery information for anyone looking for publicly accessible repositories that house geological materials in the U.S. and Canada. In addition, this resource is intended to be a tool to facilitate a community of practice. The need for the directory was identified during planning for and follow-up from a drill core repository webinar series in Spring 2020 for public repository curators and staff in the U.S. and Canada hosted by the Minnesota Geological Survey and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources.

Data from these two locations were generated in order to designate a Principal Reference Section for the Danian age Brightseat Formation.

Foraminiferal assemblages and, later, coccoliths (calcareous nanoplankton) have been the most abundant microfossils recovered from the Cenozoic sequence. The usefulness of coccolith assemblages for establishing the Cenozoic stratigraphic framework (especially the Paleogene) in western Oregon was brought to the attention of Parke D. Snavely, Jr. in the 1960s by a letter from Dr. M. N. Bramlette of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Dr. Bramlette reported to Snavely that coccoliths in...

For this database, Snavely's original field sheets and notebooks were used to calculate latitude and longitude of the samples and the results were combined with Rau (2004) to produce a geodatabase in ArcGIS.

The New England Mud Patch, located south of Cape Cod, is an unusual feature on the U.S. Continental Shelf in that it is composed of fine-grained sediment layers containing a relatively-homogeneous mix of sand, silt, and clay-sized particles bounded by more typical sandy shelf sediments. The unique characteristics and nature of this deposit is due to a derivation of sediments that have been transported to, and deposited in, a basal bowl-shaped depression since the last glacial maximum.
