The Utah Geological Survey is based in Salt Lake City, Utah, United States.It also has an office in Cedar City, Utah. [1]It is a division of the Utah Department of Natural Resources [2] and is an applied scientific agency, which creates, interprets, and provides information about Utah's geological environment, resources and hazards, in order to promote safe, beneficial, and wise land usage.
The Ferron Sandstone Member of the Mancos Shale is a geologic unit in Utah. It preserves fossils dating back to the Cretaceous period; and more specifically the middle Turonian. [1] [2] Named by Lupton (1916), the formation is readily divisible into upper and lower members on the basis of both lithologic character and depositional history ...
The geology of Utah, in the western United States, includes rocks formed at the edge of the proto-North American continent during the Precambrian.A shallow marine sedimentary environment covered the region for much of the Paleozoic and Mesozoic, followed by dryland conditions, volcanism, and the formation of the basin and range terrain in the Cenozoic.
The Price River Formation is a geologic formation in Utah. It preserves fossils dating back to the Cretaceous period . The Price River Formation is approximately 200 metres (660 ft) thick at its type locality ( Price River Canyon ) and consists of cliff-forming sandstone and siltstone visible in the Book Cliffs .
The Colton Formation is a geologic formation in Utah. Its age is based on its position between the Upper Cretaceous-Paleocene North Horn Formation and overlying Green River Formation. The name was first used by P.T. Walton [1] in 1944 for strata below the Green River Formation at the base of the Roan Cliffs, Utah. However, the type section was ...
The goal of this department is to conduct research in geology, mapping, hydrology, biology, and related sciences; evaluate hazards associated with floods, droughts, hurricanes, subsidence, human activity, and climate change; map the onshore and offshore geologic framework; assess mineral resources and develop techniques for their discovery ...
Naturita Formation exposed in a roadcut in eastern Utah. A coal seam is visible below its sandstone bed, with a thin volcanic ash (white) layer in its upper portion.. The formation in Utah and western Colorado overlies the Cedar Mountain and Burro Canyon Formations, and underlies the Mancos Shale formation, thus occupying a similar position of sedimentary strata that have widely [6] been ...
Devil's Slide is a geological formation located near the border of Wyoming in northern Utah's Weber Canyon, near the community of Croydon in Morgan County, Utah, United States. The Slide consists of two parallel limestone strata that have tilted to lie vertical, protruding 40 feet (12 m) out of the mountainside.
