Dating of fallout in lacustrine sediment in southwestern Utah
Sandy Cove is located in an area of southwestern Utah which received the highest fallout from Nevada Test Site (NTS) nuclear testing during the period 1951-1959. The reservoir was shown to have a constant sedimentation rate and to be relatively undisturbed. A 40 centimeter (cm) core taken from this …

Fault segmentation, fault linkage, and hazards along the Sevier fault, southwestern Utah
… fold formation along the active Sevier fault, Utah. Geologic mapping, geometric analyses, geochronology, landslide evaluation, and stream history led to five conclusions. (1) Six principal faults linked to form the Orderville salient and connect the Mt. Carmel and Spencer Bench segments. Four …

Imaging the mantle in southwestern, Utah using geochemistry, and geographic information systems
… Nevada through northwestern Arizona and into southwestern Utah, across the crustal boundary defined as the transition zone; Geochemistry and geographic information systems (GIS) define the geometry and orientation of a mantle boundary trending approximately E-W, almost perpendicular to the …

Taphonomy of Sediments: Bioturbation in the Triassic Moenkopi Formation in Southwestern Utah
… Triassic Moenkopi Formation at Hurricane Mesa in Southwestern Utah. This formation is interpreted as having been deposited mostly in large ancient river channels, tidal flats, delta and shallow marine environments. Five stratigraphic sections measured in the Virgin Limestone Member provided the …

Effects of Hurricane Fault Architecture on Groundwater Flow in the Timpoweap Canyon of Southwestern, Utah
… as conduits. Timpoweap Canyon near Hurricane, Utah has superb exposures of the fault core and damage zone of the Hurricane Fault. Also within the canyon, springs discharge from the damage zone into the Virgin River, providing an ideal natural laboratory for the study of groundwater discharge …

Interpretation of aeromagnetic, magnetic, and gravity data from the San Francisco Mountains vicinity, southwestern Utah
… in the San Francisco Mountains vicinity, southwestern Utah, are investigated using magnetic-field intensity and gravimetric data. Aeromagnetic data are interpreted to indicate a buried Tertiary pluton whose northern boundary runs from east to west across the 980 square mile study area, and …

The Growth and Ecology of Upper Cambrian Microbialite Biostromes from the Notch Peak Formation in Utah
… carbonate rocks within the uplifted mountains of southwestern Utah presents a unique opportunity to study the growth, morphology and ecology of two upper Cambrian microbialite reefs located within the Hellnmaria Member of the Notch Peak Formation. The first reef contains meter-length, strongly …

Mafic volcanism in the Colorado Plateau/Basin-and-Range Transition Zone, Hurricane, Utah
… in the eastern part of the St. George basin in southwestern Utah. Strombolian-Hawaiian style eruptions produced thin (10 m) a'a lava flows and cinder (scoria) cones composed of vesicular basalt, bombs and agglutinate. Radiometric dating and geologic relationships demonstrate that the HVF formed …
