| Notes | Master's thesis. Major professor was Alan R. Niem. While other formations in the Newport area (e.g., Alsea Formation, Nye Mudstone) indicate that the region was in the deeper ocean, the Oligocene Yaquina Formation was deposited in shallow seas, or on land. Several layers were deposited in river deltas. This thesis describes the regional geology, stratigraphy, lithology, petrology, age, depositional ecology and economic potential of the formation. It includes color photographs and microscopic photographs of thin-sections of rocks. It is accompanied by two plates: a colored geologic map and columnar sections. |
