Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book dives into the fascinating and complex history of the Wisconsinan Stage, the last major episode of Pleistocene glaciation in North America. The author, a leading expert in the field, meticulously examines the time-stratigraphic classification of this period, presenting a revised framework for understanding the glacial events that shaped the landscape of the Lake Michigan glacial lobe. Through detailed stratigraphic studies and the utilization of radiocarbon dating, the author unveils a more refined understanding of the Wisconsinan Stage, dividing it into five distinct substages: Valderan, Twocreekan, Woodfordian, Farmdalian, and Altonian. These substages represent major periods of glacial advance and retreat, each with its own unique geological characteristics and time-span. The book also introduces a new concept, morphostratigraphic classification, which allows for the analysis of moraines ââ â the landforms left behind by glaciers ââ â based on their surface form rather than just their lithology. This innovative approach offers valuable insights into the dynamic nature of glacial retreat and the complex interplay between ice sheets and the Earthââ â¢s surface. The authorââ â¢s groundbreaking research provides a comprehensive and meticulously researched account of the Wisconsinan Stage, offering valuable insights for geologists, environmental scientists, and anyone interested in the dramatic forces that shaped the Earthââ â¢s past.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book dives into the glacial boundary in southern Illinois, exploring the southernmost extent of continental ice sheets during the Illinoian glaciation. The author reveals how the ice sheet's advance was halted by the Shawnee Hills, resulting in a fascinating interplay of ice and topography. The book delves into the characteristics of the drift, including its thickness, composition, and weathering, providing insights into the processes that shaped the landscape. It also examines the loess that mantles the area, uncovering its origins and significance in understanding the region's geological history. Furthermore, the author sheds light on the glacial lakes that dotted the landscape, formed by the damming of valleys by the advancing ice sheet. These lakes played a crucial role in shaping the topography and hydrology of the area. The book offers a comprehensive analysis of the glacial boundary in southern Illinois, contributing to our understanding of the complex forces that have sculpted the region's unique geological features.

This book delves into the Cretaceous and Pleistocene deposits in western Illinois, focusing on the Baylis Formation, which holds the distinction of being the first Cretaceous rock formation discovered in the state. The author presents evidence, including mineral compositions, heavy mineral assemblages, and clay mineral compositions, to support the assignment of these deposits to the Cretaceous Period. This book sheds light on the geological processes that shaped this region during prehistoric times and provides valuable insights into the evolution of the landscape. It is a significant contribution to our understanding of the geological history of the Midwest.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book studies the fossil mollusks of Wisconsinan deposits in the Illinois region dating from 50,000 to 12,500 years Before Present. The author collected fossils from loess, silt, and glacial till, resulting in 61 distinct species cataloged through three Wisconsinan substages: Altonian, Farmdalian, and Woodfordian. Regionally, the differences in fauna during each period suggest distinct environments ranging from wooded to prairie settings, while the differences across the substages hint at a gradual change of climate from milder to colder. The book's examination of fossil mollusks in Wisconsin deposits significantly contributes to the understanding of the region's geological history.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a study of weather profiles in relation to the surrounding minerals of glacial tills in Illinois. Through a comparison of profiles developed in situ and profiles comprised of accretion-gley, the author demonstrates that in situ profiles have a significantly lower decomposition rate of feldspars and ferromagnesian minerals, and a greater clay enrichment. An examination of the mineral composition of these profiles reveals that they formed largely in place from chemical decomposition of existing minerals. In contrast, accretion-gley deposits contain a mixture of clay minerals ranging from chlorite to montmorillonite, and a sand fraction composition indicating a less advanced stage of weathering. The accretion-gley parent material is determined to have originated not in place, but from mechanical sorting of a material from which carbonate rocks have been removed. The author concludes that the term 'gumbotil' has not been sufficiently restricted to render it a useful scientific term.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a comprehensive geological and paleontological examination of Lake Saline, a vast body of water which existed in southern Illinois during the Pleistocene epoch. Over 100 feet of sediment were left behind as Lake Saline gradually receded, creating a vast and fertile plain. Detailed stratigraphic analysis has allowed the author to piece together a detailed history of the lake, from its formation behind glacial outwash dams to its eventual draining. The author has also analyzed molluscan fossils found throughout the lake deposits, which provide insights into the lake's past environment. By studying these fossils, the author was able to determine that the lake was once a cool, clear, and relatively permanent body of water that supported a diverse array of aquatic life. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the geology and paleontology of the Midwest, and provides a fascinating glimpse into a lost ecosystem.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book details a comprehensive study undertaken by the Illinois State Geological Survey to differentiate and map the glacial deposits of northwestern Illinois. Over eight mappable till units have been identified through extensive field and laboratory studies and categorized into three distinct ages: Pre-Illinoian (Kansan), Illinoian, and Wisconsinan. This study not only confirms the presence of Altonian drift in the eastern part of the region and the Illinoian age of tills in the northwest but also leads to extensive revisions of previous mapping. The detailed stratigraphic sequence and position of samples have been included for twenty-five exposures, auger borings, and ten cores within the text, and an additional thirty-one stratigraphic sections can be found in the references. This text will be of key interest to professionals in the study of Pleistocene glacial history, particularly those focused on the northwestern Illinois region.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a comprehensive guide to the Pleistocene Stratigraphy of Illinois, an area with an exceptionally rich glacial history that is the product of multiple ice-age advances and retreats. The author delves into the area's complex geology, which holds importance to both applied science and those with a general interest in paleoclimatology and the planet's long-term changes. Elaborating on the glacial deposits, the book classifies them into four distinct categories based on rock composition, soil type, morphology, and historical periodâ"each with its unique set of named formations and members. These classifications provide a vital framework for understanding this geologically significant region's history.
