{"title":"Classification of Ripple Marks","authors":"L. R. High, M. Picard","doi":"10.34191/ug-3-2_85","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.34191/ug-3-2_85","url":null,"abstract":"Although ripple marks are extensively used in paleogeographic and environmental reconstructions, there is no generally accepted classification of them. The few formal classifications that have been proposed and the many informal classifications that have been used commonly recognize two major classes of ripples: current and either wave or oscillation types. Despite the seeming simplicity of this system, confusion has arisen because usage varies considerably. In some cases the same ripple type has been called current, wave-formed, or oscillation ripples by different authors. To resolve this problem we propose a classification that recognizes four major ripple types: wave formed, current formed, interference, and eolian. Three of the groups are aqueous, the fourth eolian. Within each group several varieties are distinguished. The most common varieties are: (wave-formed) oscillation, linear, and wave-dominated combined-flow; (current-formed) cuspate, linguoid, dune, antidune, and current-dominated combined-flow; (interference) tadpole nest, ladderback, cuspate and secondary, and rhomboid; and (eolian) sand ripples. Common names are retained, even where past usage is ambiguous, because they are descriptive and already in general use. Each ripple variety is readily identified by descriptive criteria that are related to mode of formation. Thus the classification is both genetic and descriptive. Accordingly, the ripple types can be identified objectively and also are useful for environmental reconstructions.","PeriodicalId":398645,"journal":{"name":"Utah Geology","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134373416","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The former is composed of calcareous and dolomitic sandstones and sandy dolomites formed under stable tectonic conditions in a nearshore marine environment by reworking of the underlying aeolian portion of the White Rim Member. The Kaibab Limestone is actually a slightly calcareous, partly sandy, glauconitic dolomite which was chiefly a biomicrite before dolomitization. It formed in shallow, though quiet, marine waters under tectonically quiescent conditions. It disconformably overlies the White Rim Sandstone. Detrital intertidal and very shallow subtidal sediments of the lowermost Moenkopi Formation (Triassic), mostly chert breccias, overlie the irregular, partly channeled surface of the Kaibab Limestone. This ' attests to post-Kaibab emergence and erosion. Uniformity of lithologies and thicknesses of individual Permian beds traced across the Circle Cliffs Anticline demonstrate the absence of a late Permian paleostructure.","PeriodicalId":398645,"journal":{"name":"Utah Geology","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121384768","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mining began in 1897 and continued intermittently until the early 1940's. The principal mines have been the Jennie, Little Buck, Snowflake, Independence, Aetna, and Jumbo. Three mines had mills where ores were beneficiated. However, these mills were primitive and met with varying success. Few records were kept; nevertheless the district is credited with producing 9,335 ounces of gold, 40,279 ounces of silver, 12,031 pounds of copper, and 19,268 pounds of lead. The past production and this study of the surface and the underground workings indicate that the ore deposits are small but high in grade.","PeriodicalId":398645,"journal":{"name":"Utah Geology","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126095780","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
