description: The recently launched James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is opening new observing windows on the distant universe. Among JWST's instruments, the Mid Infrared Instrument (MIRI) offers the unique capability of imaging observations at wavelengths $λ> 5μ$m. This enables unique access to the rest frame near infra-red (NIR, $λ\ge 1$\mum) emission from galaxies at redshifts $z>4$ and the visual ($λ\gtrsim 5000$Å) rest frame for $z>9$. We here report on the guaranteed time observations (GTO) from the MIRI European Consortium, of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (HUDF), forming the MIRI Deep Imaging Survey (MIDIS), consisting of an on source integration time of $\sim41$ hours in the MIRI/F560W (5.6 $μ$m) filter. To our knowledge, this constitutes the longest single filter exposure obtained with JWST of an extragalactic field as yet.

description: Field robotic harvesting is a promising technique in recent development of agricultural industry. It is vital for robots to recognise and localise fruits before the harvesting in natural orchards. However, the workspace of harvesting robots in orchards is complex: many fruits are occluded by branches and leaves. It is important to estimate a proper grasping pose for each fruit before performing the manipulation. In this study, a geometry-aware network, A3N, is proposed to perform end-to-end instance segmentation and grasping estimation using both color and geometry sensory data from a RGB-D camera. Besides, workspace geometry modelling is applied to assist the robotic manipulation. Moreover, we implement a global-to-local scanning strategy, which enables robots to accurately recognise and retrieve fruits in field environments with two consumer-level RGB-D cameras. We also evaluate the accuracy and robustness of proposed network comprehensively in experiments. The experimental results show that A3N achieves 0.873 on instance segmentation accuracy, with an average computation time of 35 ms. The average accuracy of grasping estimation is 0.61 cm and 4.8$^{\circ}$ in centre and orientation, respectively. Overall, the robotic system that utilizes the global-to-local scanning and A3N, achieves success rate of harvesting ranging from 70\% - 85\% in field harvesting experiments.

description: We employ IRTF SpeX NIR (0.8-2.4 microns) spectra to investigate the stellar population (SP), active galactic nuclei (AGN) featureless continuum (FC) and hot dust properties in 9 Sy 1 and 15 Sy 2 galaxies. Both the starlight code and the hot dust as an additional base element were used for the first time in this spectral range. We found evidence of correlation among the equivalent widths (W) Si I 1.59 microns x Mg I 1.58 microns, equally for both kinds of activity. Part of the W{Na I 2.21 microns} and W {CO 2.3 microns} strengths may be related to galaxy inclination. Our synthesis shows significant differences between Sy 1 and Sy 2 galaxies: the hot dust component is required to fit the K-band spectra of ~90% of the Sy 1 galaxies, and only of ~25% of the Sy 2; about 50 % of the Sy 2 galaxies require a $FC$ component contribution >20%, while this fraction increases to 60% in the Sy 1; also, in about 50 % of the Sy2, the combined FC and young components contribute with more than 20%, while this occurs in 90% of the Sy1, suggesting recent star formation in the central region. The central few hundred parsecs of our galaxy sample contain a substantial fraction of intermediate-age SPs with a mean metallicity near solar. Our SP synthesis confirms that the 1.1 micron CN band can be used as a tracer of intermediate-age SPs. The simultaneous fitting of SP, FC and hot dust components increased in ~150% the number of AGNs with hot dust detected and the mass estimated. The NIR emerges as an excellent window to study the stellar population of Sy 1 galaxies, as opposed to the usually heavily attenuated optical range. Our approach opens a new way to investigate and quantify the individual contribution of the three most important NIR continuum components observed in AGNs.

description: The influence of the environment on the polarized and total power radio continuum emission of cluster spiral galaxies is investigated. We present deep scaled array VLA 20 and 6 cm observations including polarization of 8 Virgo spiral galaxies. These data are combined with existing optical, HI, and Halpha data. Ram pressure compression leads to sharp edges of the total power distribution at one side of the galactic disk. These edges coincide with HI edges. In edge-on galaxies the extraplanar radio emission can extend further than the HI emission. In the same galaxies asymmetric gradients in the degree of polarization give additional information on the ram pressure wind direction. The local total power emission is not sensitive to the effects of ram pressure. The radio continuum spectrum might flatten in the compressed region only for very strong ram pressure. This implies that neither the local star formation rate nor the turbulent small-scale magnetic field are significantly affected by ram pressure. Ram pressure compression occurs mainly on large scales (>=1 kpc) and is primarily detectable in polarized radio continuum emission.

description: Low-energy SUSY and several other theories that address the hierarchy problem predict pair-production at the LHC of particles with Standard Model quantum numbers that decay to jets, missing energy, and possibly leptons. If an excess of such events is seen in LHC data, a theoretical framework in which to describe it will be essential to constraining the structure of the new physics. We propose a basis of four deliberately simplified models, each specified by only 2-3 masses and 4-5 branching ratios, for use in a first characterization of data. Fits of these simplified models to the data furnish a quantitative presentation of the jet structure, electroweak decays, and heavy-flavor content of the data, independent of detector effects. These fits, together with plots comparing their predictions to distributions in data, can be used as targets for describing the data within any full theoretical model.

description: Pixel detectors are used in the innermost part of multi purpose experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and are therefore exposed to the highest fluences of ionising radiation, which in this part of the detectors consists mainly of charged pions. The radiation hardness of the detectors has thoroughly been tested up to the fluences expected at the LHC. In case of an LHC upgrade the fluence will be much higher and it is not yet clear up to which radii the present pixel technology can be used. In order to establish such a limit, pixel sensors of the size of one CMS pixel readout chip (PSI46V2.1) have been bump bonded and irradiated with positive pions up to 6E14 Neq/cm^2 at PSI and with protons up to 5E15 Neq/cm^2. The sensors were taken from production wafers of the CMS barrel pixel detector. They use n-type DOFZ material with a resistance of about 3.7kOhm cm and an n-side read out. As the performance of silicon sensors is limited by trapping, the response to a Sr-90 source was investigated. The highly energetic beta-particles represent a good approximation to minimum ionising particles. The bias dependence of the signal for a wide range of fluences will be presented.

The mid-depth temperature minimum in B. C. inlets
Creators: name: MacNeill, Margaret Rose
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: A springtime mid-depth temperature minimum has often been observed in many B.C. inlets. The size and extent of the minimum varies markedly from year to year. This paper examines the temperature minimum more closely,in Bute, Knight and Jervis Inlets. Pickard (1961) suggested that a major factor affecting the size of the temperature minimum layer might be the outflow winds which blow down most B.C. mainland fjords during winter months when the Arctic air mass moves south to cover tne interior of the province. Using Abbotsford Airport as a station representative of outflow (no wind recording devices available in Bute, Knight or Jervis) for Bute, the size of the springtime temperature minimum was compared to the outflow of the previous winter for the period 1954-1973. There seems to be a rough linear relationship between the two. During 1972, 1973 and 1974 monthly cruises were made to Jervis, Bute and Knight - (making it possible to follow winter cooling on a month to month basis. This analysis seems to indicate that in Bute, at least, most of the cooling in the winter occurs during outflow situations. The actual formation of the temperature minimum layer (as shown in the cruises of February and March) appears to be partly caused by down-inlet advection of cold water from the head. It is possible that outflow winds may cause the disturbance which is the origin of the cold advection.

description: The thermal resistance associated with the interface between a solid and a liquid is analyzed from an atomistic point of view. Partial evaluation of the associated Green-Kubo integral elucidates the various factors governing heat transport across the interface and leads to a quantitative model for the thermal resistance in terms of atomistic-level system parameters. The model is validated using molecular dynamics simulations.
title: Structural Geology of the Oxford Peak Area, Bannock Range, Idaho
Creators: name: Raymond, Larry C.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1971

description: The mapped area, in southeastern Idaho, includes part of the Bannock Range, on the west, and Cache Valley, on the east. It is centered about 13 miles northwest of Preston, Idaho, and measures 12 miles in the north-south direction and 8.5 miles in the east-west direction.
The Bannock Range, in the western part of the mapped area, consists of Precambrian and Cambrian stratigraphic units. The Precambrian units are as follows: (1) lower Precambrian argillite, (2) Precambrian quartzite, and (3) upper Mutual Formation. The Brigham Formation, which overlies the Mutual, is probably of Cambrian age; however, the lower part may be Precambrian. The Langston, Ute, Blacksmith, Bloomington, and Nounan Formations, all of Cambrian age, crop out locally. The Wasatch and Salt Lake Formations bf Tertiary age overlap older rocks near the western margin of the area. The Salt Lake Formation overlaps older rocks in the foothills along the western side of Cache Valley. It is separated from Precambrian argillite, on the west, by a major north-south gravity fault.
Arnphibolite plutons intrude the Precambrian argillite at three localities in the Oxford Peak area; basalt flows and volcanic breccia are also present in the Precambrian argillite. The amphibolite represents metamorphosed diabase. Both the metamorphism of the plutons and the presence of extrusive igneous rocks in the Precambrian argillite indicate that the plutons formed during Precambrian time.
Two major thrust faults are present in the Bannock Range. The Oxford Peak thrust fault places the Brigham Formation of Cambrian age, as well as Precambrian quartzite and the Mutual Formation of Precambrian age, over Precambrian argillite. The Clifton thrust fault places carbonate formations of Cambrian age and also a lower Paleozoic undifferentiated unit on various older rocks. Near the northwestern corner of the mapped area, however, the Clifton thrust fault underlies the Brigham Formation. Both thrust faults dip westward except where locally folded; the direction of movement was presumably eastward. The thrust faulting is probably related to the Laramide orogeny which occurred during the Cretaceous Period and the early part of the Tertiary Period.
A major gravity fault extends along the eastern side of the Bannock Range. It places Salt Lake Formation of Tertiary age, on the east, against Precambrian argillite, on the west. A relatively short gravity fault, also down on the east, offsets the two major thrust faults east of Oxford Peak. The relative collapse of Cache Valley, during the Tertiary Period, produced great relief and, as a consequence, a major landslide formed northeast of Oxford Peak. It transported Precambrian argillite and overlying Brigham Formation down over Precambrian argillite.

description: The detection of Earth-skimming tau neutrinos has turned into a very promising strategy for the observation of UHE cosmic neutrinos. The sensitivity of this channel crucially depends on the parameters of the propagation of the tau neutrino (and the tau lepton) through the terrestrial crust, which governs the flux of emerging tau leptons that can be detected. This propagation problem is usually treated in a simplified framework where several effects are neglected, e.g. the possibility of multiple regenerations of the tau neutrino, the weak interactions of the tau lepton, as well as the stochastic nature of its energy losses. We discuss here the validity of such approximations by studying the propagation in standard rock of tau leptons and neutrinos with both mono-energetic and power-law spectra. We also investigate the impact of such simplifications in non-standard scenarios for the neutrino-nucleon interactions as well as for the tau energy losses.

description: [abridged] We present VLT/FORS1 spectroscopic follow-up observations and HST/WFPC2 imaging of the system COSMOS 5921+0638, which exhibits quadruply lensed images and a perfect Einstein ring. We investigate the nature of COSMOS 5921+0638 by studying its photometric, spectroscopic and physical properties. We completed both an environmental analysis and detailed analytical and grid-based mass modeling of the system. We measured the redshifts of the lensing galaxy in COSMOS 5921+0638 (z_l=0.551+/-0.001) and 9 additional galaxies in the field (5 of them at z~0.35). The redshift of the lensed source was inferred by identifying a candidate Lya line at z_s=3.14+/-0.05. The mass modeling reveals the requirement of a small external shear (gamma=0.038), which is slightly larger than the lensing contribution expected by galaxy groups along the line-of-sight (kappa_groups~0.01 and gamma_groups~0.005). The estimated time-delays between the different images are of the order of hours to half a week and the total magnification of the background source is mu~150. The measured mass-to-light ratio of the lensing galaxy within the Einstein ring is M/L_B~8.5+/-1.6. Our analysis indicates that the ring and point-like structures in COSMOS 5921+0638 consist of a lensed high redshift galaxy hosting a low luminosity AGN (LLAGN). Flux ratio anomalies observed in the lensed AGN images are probably due to microlensing by stars in the lensing galaxy and/or a combination of static phenomena. Because of its short time-delays and the possibility of microlensing, COSMOS 5921+0638 is a promising laboratory for future studies of LLAGNs.

Oxygen abundance gradients of star-forming gas and young stars in simulated discs
Creators: name: Shailesh, Isha
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023
Subjects: galaxies: abundances
ISM: abundances
methods: numerical

description: Spiral discs, like our Milky Way, exhibit radial metallicity gradients in both the stellar and gas phases. The gas in HII regions and the young stars trace the recent star formation activity within the galaxy disc. By treating their metallicity gradients in tandem, we can shed light on the different physical processes which interact in a complex manner, modifying the distribution of metals in the discs and influencing the chemical evolution of galaxies. Furthermore, this approach allows us to constrain the timescales of galaxy interactions and the recovery of metallicity gradients. Using the EAGLE suite of cosmological hydrodynamical simulations (Schaye et al. 2015), we analyse the oxygen abundance gradients of star-forming gas and young stars (< 2 Gyr) in the discs of central galaxies within the stellar mass range of Log10(9-11) Msun. The EAGLE simulations provide a statistically significant sample of discs that exhibit inverted (positive) metallicity gradients of the gaseous and/or stellar components. In this work, we explore the effects of processes known to flatten or invert the metallicity gradients, including feedback from supernovae (SNe) and active galactic nuclei (AGN), as well as galaxy mergers. By contrasting galaxy properties between galaxies displaying inverted gradients in either phase, we identify differences that can be attributed to the effects of the aforementioned processes.
title: Petrology of the Ordovician Swan Peak Formation, Southeastern Idaho and North-Central Utah
Creators: name: Schulingkamp, Warren J.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1972

description: The Swan Peak Formation in southeastern Idaho and north-central Utah is a sedimentary unit consisting of orthoquartzite, sandstone, siltite, shale, and limestone. The formation is divisible into three members, and the lower two members each are divisible into two informal lithologic subunits.
The lower member consists of a lower subunit of gray, calcareous sandy siltite composed of subangular to subrounded quartz grains cemented by quartz overgrowths, calcite, or iron oxide, and an upper subunit of black shale with minor interbedded silty quartzose sandstone and biomicrite (limestone).
The middle member consists of a lower subunit of interbedded pale green shale and yellowish brown silty orthoquartzite and an upper subunit of purple orthoquartzite. The brown orthoquartzite consists of well-sorted, well-rounded very fine sand- to silt-sized quartz grains cemented by quartz overgrowths which are in optical continuity with the grains they surround. The purple orthoquartzite consists of wellsorted, well-rounded, very fine to medium sand-sized quartz grains cemented by quartz overgrowths and hematite. Hematite gives the rock its purple color. gydroxylapatite is locally abundant.
The upper member is an orthoquartzite consisting of very fine to medium sand-sized, well-sorted, well-rounded quartz grains cemented by quartz overgrowths. The gastropod Murchisonia (Hormotoma) sp., the first body fossil found in the upper member, is reported.
Previous work has shown that the upper member of the Swan Peak Formation and the Eureka Quartzite are similar in lithology, stratigraphy, and trace fossils. The Eureka Quartzite in the Newfoundland Range is a very fine to medium sand-sized, well-sorted, well-rounded orthoquartzite cemented predominantly by quartz overgrowths, locally by dolomite. The petrographic similarities of the two units, shown in the present study, strengthens their proposed correlation.
High percentages of well rounded, polycrystalline and undulatory extinction quartz show that source areas for the Eureka Quartzite and Swan Peak Formation probably were immature sandstones or quartzites of Cambrian or Precambrian age, and./or exposed igneous or metamorphic rocks. The source for most of the sand probably was the Northwest Montana Uplift, although local sources along the Uinta Uplift undoubtedly played a minor role in supplying hydroxylapatite to the middle member and fine-grained elastics to the lower member.

description: We investigate quantum stability of the generalised Proca theories in curved spacetime treating gravity as a dynamical field. To compute the quantum gravitational corrections we evaluate divergent part of the effective action at one loop level. We employ Vilkovisky-DeWitt formalism for this task which gives us a gauge invariant and gauge condition independent effective action. It is shown that the quantum corrections are suppressed by a UV cutoff parametrically higher than the Proca mass if the coupling constants are restricted to lie in a certain range. Furthermore it is shown that the quantum corrections remain suppressed even at scales where classical non-linearities dominate over kinetic terms allowing Vainshtein mechanism to work.

description: We present a semi-analytical hydrodynamical model for the structure of reconfinement shocks formed in astrophysical relativistic jets interacting with external medium. We take into account exact conservation laws, both across the shock front and in the zone of the shocked matter, and exact angular relations. Our results confirm a good accuracy of the approximate formulae derived by Komissarov & Falle (1997). However, including the transverse pressure gradient in the shocked jet, we predict an absolute size of the shock to be about about twice larger. We calculate the efficiency of the kinetic energy dissipation in the shock and show a strong dependence on both the bulk Lorentz factor and opening angle of the jet.

The technique used to solve this problem is based on Herpin's equivalent layers, which provide a simple, constructive, and analytical solution. The performance of the Herpin-type design exceeds that of the periodic design and is almost equal to the performance of the numerical, non-constructive optimized design obtained by brute force. Note that the existence of explicit analytic constructive solutions of a constrained optimization problem is not guaranteed in general, when such a solution is found, we speak of turbo optimal solutions.

title: Phosphate Exploration and Property Evaluation in Southeastern Idaho, Illustrated by the Dry Valley Area
Creators: name: Spalding, James Simon
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1974

description: The western phosphate field produced about 15 percent, in 1970, of the nation's domestically consumed phosphate rock and contains an estimated 58 percent of the nation's indicated phosphate reserves. The central portion of the western phosphate field, which contains the Dry Valley area of southeastern Idaho, encompasses the greatest amount of mineable phosphate reserves in the smallest geographic area within the western field.
Exploration of properties in the area should follow an orderly sequence of literature search, area reconnaissance, detailed target appraisal, and detailed three-dimensional sampling to effectively evaluate each property. Present exploration techniques include topographic analysis, vegetative investigation, profile drilling patterns using a portable rotary-table drilling rig, geophysical logging of the drill holes including gamma-radiation logs, neutron logs, temperature gradient and differential temperature logs, and bulk density logs, trenching, tunneling, and test mining. The economic analysis of exploration programs embodies bookkeeping, project cost forecasting and an economic analysis of alternate methods of exploration.
The evaluation of individual phosphate properties includes such variables as geology, mining characteristics, alternate concepts in reserve calculation, transportation and governmental policies.
The structural geology of the Dry Valley area is less complex than the structural geology of other phosphate deposits in the western phosphate field. Yet most structural features outlined by drilling in Dry Valley occur elsewhere in the western phosphate field. The stratigraphy of the Phosphoria Formation and its Meade Peak Phosphatic Shale Member is simple and correlatable throughout southeastern Idaho through the use of gamma-radiation logs.
The history of land acquisition and property evaluation by FMC in Dry Valley covers a relatively short eight-year period. Future plans for companies operating in the western phosphate field include trading and selling of properties to build mineable units covering large volumes of the estimated 300,000,000 tons of economically surface extractable ore in the Dry Valley vicinity.

description: Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves are routinely observed in the solar atmosphere. These waves are important in the context of solar physics as it is widely believed they can contribute to the energy budget of the solar atmosphere and are a prime candidate to contribute towards coronal heating. Realistic models of these waves are required representing observed configurations such that plasma properties can be determined more accurately which can not be measured directly. This work utilises a previously developed numerical technique to find permittable eigenvalues under different non-uniform equilibrium conditions in a Cartesian magnetic slab geometry. Here we investigate the properties of magnetoacoustic waves under non-uniform equilibria in a cylindrical geometry. Previously obtained analytical results are retrieved to emphasise the power and applicability of this numerical technique. Further case studies investigate the effect that a radially non-uniform plasma density and non-uniform plasma flow, modelled as a series of Gaussian profiles, has on the properties of different MHD waves. For all cases the dispersion diagrams are obtained and spatial eigenfunctions calculated which display the effects of the equilibrium inhomogeneity. It is shown that as the equilibrium non-uniformity is increased, the radial spatial eigenfunctions are affected and extra nodes introduced, similar to the previous investigation of a magnetic slab. Furthermore, azimuthal perturbations are increased with increasing inhomogeneity introducing vortical motions inside the waveguide. Finally, 2D and 3D representations of the velocity fields are shown which may be useful for observers for wave mode identification under realistic magnetic waveguides with ever increasing instrument resolution.

description: The mapped area represents the eastern three-fourths of the Malad Summit Quadrangle, Idaho. It lies mainly in the Bannock Range of southeastern Idaho. The northern and southern margins of the area are 25.5 miles and 17.0 miles, respectively, north of the Idaho-Utah State Line.
The Caddy Canyon Formation of Late Precambrian age is the oldest exposed stratigraphic unit. The youngest unit, exclusively of Precambrian age, is the Mutual Formation. The Brigham Formation is considered to be of Late Precambrian to Early Cambrian(?) age. Younger formations of Cambrian to Silurian age are present. The Precambrian units, as well as the Brigham, consist chiefly of quartzite. Younger Paleozoic units are primarily limestone and dolomite. The Precambrian and Paleozoic units are unconformably overlapped by the Wasatch and Salt Lake Formations of Tertiary age.
A major thrust fault is widely exposed in the mapped area. It places various formations of early Paleozoic age in thrust contact with the Brigham Formation. Several minor thrust faults are also present. The thrust faulting is related to the Laramide orogeny which was active in western United States from late Jurassic into Eocene.
Normal faults, in the mapped area, trend generally north-south x and east-west. The north-south faults, characteristic of the Basin and Range province, are responsible f or most of the relief in the area. The normal faulting began as early as Oligocene and has continued intermittently to the present.

title: Chemical Changes in Groundwater of Northern Utah Valley, Utah
Creators: name: Fairbanks, Paul E.

description: Northern Utah Valley is one of the fastest growing areas of Utah and has increasing needs for domestic, industrial, and agricultural water. To meet these needs, groundwater and surface water systems must be understood to maximize their use. Chemical studies of the sediment mineralogy and related water-chemistry give insight to the movement of the water.
There are three major aquifers present in the valley: shallow Pleistocene; deep Pleistocene; and Tertiary. They are composed of sands and gravels and are separated by confining layers (aquitards) composed mostly of clay. Along the flanks of the bordering mountains there are undifferentiated aquifers which act as conduits supplying water for aquifers in the valley.
Sediment samples from aquifers and confining layers were obtained by rotary and cable-tool drilling. X-ray diffraction analyses showed that the aquifers are mainly composed of quartz, calcite, and dolomite, whereas the con fining layers contain illite and montmorillonite with some kaolinite, quart z and calcite. One hundred nine water samples were collected in this study from s ur face water, spring water, undifferentiated aquifer water, shallow Pleistocene aquifer water, deep Pleistocene aquifer water and Tertiary aquifer water.
Results show that the ground water system has several geochemical cells in each aquifer, due to diverse areas of recharge. Three major water types can be identified in different areas of the shallow Pleistocene aquifer, three in different areas of the Tertiary aquifer, and four in different areas of the deep Pleistocene aquifer. The differences in these water types are related to the composition of the mountain recharge areas and positions of faults within the valleys. The aquifer composition exerts relatively little influence on the chemistry of the ground water. Mountains of predominantly carbonate rocks produce recharge waters rich in calcium and bicarbonate. Mountains of predominantly granitic rocks produce recharge water low in mineral content. Valley sediments near major faults produce highly mineralized waters.
title: Structure and Petrology of Tertiary Volcanic Rocks Near Etna, Utah

description: Three volcanic domes and related volcanic rocks of Tertiary age are located near Etna, Utah, in Box Elder County. The domes follow a north-south trend and are fault controlled. Flow structure indicates a change from a less viscous, flow-forming lava which produced an exogenous dome to a more viscous lava which formed endogenous domes. Associated pyroclastic deposits are negligible. The volcanic rocks are composed of porphyritic rhyolite and rhyolitic vitrophyre having phenocrysts of quartz, sanidine, plagioclase and biotite with minor amounts of Fe-Ti oxides, hypersthene, allanite and calcic amphibole. Quartz and sanidine phenocrysts are generally embayed whereas plagioclase phenocrysts are euhedral and extensively zoned. Average whole-rock chemical analyses yield: SiO2, 77.13; TiO2, 0.12; Al2O3, 11.01; Fe2O3, 0.9; FeO, 0.35; MnO, 0.02; MgO, 0.19; CaO, 0.82; Na2O, 2.93; K2O, 4.99; P2O5, 0.03; H2O+, 1.17; H2O-, 0.22; total, 99.94 weight percent.
Coexisting Fe-Ti oxide microphenocrysts yield equilibration temperatures ranging from 872° to 684°C while respective log f0 2 values range from -13.5 to -19.5. These temperatures are comparable to temperatures obtained using the plagioclase-glass geothermometer at a water pressure of 1 kb. Mineral buffer reactions yield water fugacities with corresponding water pressures up to 4.9 kb. Assuming water pressure equals total pressure, calculated depths of approximately 18 km are obtained indicating an origin within the crust. High silica values and high alkali to calcium ratios indicate that ix the lavas are chemically similar to bimodal rhyolite-basalt assemblages located in other areas of the western United States. Small outcrops of basalt, located west of the Etna area, also suggest a bimodal assemblage.
Viscosity values (log n) for the south dome range from 7.05 to 10.35 suggesting that there was a change from a less viscous to a more viscous lava. Comparisons between hydrous and dry calculations indicate that falling water content as well as decreasing temperature were responsible for the change in viscosity and resulting structural changes.

description: The northern part of the Oxford Quadrangle, Idaho, includes parts of the Bannock Range to the west and the Portneuf Range to the east. These ranges are separated by Marsh Valley to the north and Cache Valley to the south. Red Rock Pass, the outlet of glacial Lake Bonneville, divides the two valleys. The mapped area is north of Preston, Idaho, and south of Downey, Idaho. The north-south dimension of the mapped area is 5.2 miles and the east-west dimension is 6.4 miles.
The stratigraphic units, within the mapped area, are Precambrian, Paleozoic, and Cenozic in age. The oldest rock unit is the Pocatello Formation of late Precambrian age. Other Precambrian units, in ascending order, are the Papoose Creek Formation and the Caddy Canyon Quartzite. The Precambrian units are dominantly argillite and quartzite with some extrusive and intrusive metaigneous rocks. The Cambrian formations, in ascending order, are the Langston, Ute, Blacksmith, Bloomington, Nounan, and St. Charles Formations. The Cambrian units are dominantly limestone and dolomite, with interbedded shale. Ordovician formations consist of the basal Garden City Formation which is limestone and the Swan Peak Formation which is quartzite. The Tertiary Salt Lake Formation is dominantly tuff and conglomerate. The Quaternary is represented by colluvial deposits, Lake Bonneville Group, and alluvial deposits.
Major structural features, within the mapped area, are thrust faults and normal faults. A major thrust fault places Middle Cambrian rocks on Precambrian rocks and eliminates a significant part of the stratigraphic column. Thrust faults are also present between Papoose Creek Formation and Caddy Canyon Quartzite, Bloomington and Nounan Formations, St. Charles and Garden City Formations, and Garden City and Swan Peak Formations. The evidence, within the mapped area, indicates eastward thrusting. The normal faults postdate the thrust faults and offset Salt Lake Formation. The normal faults generally trend north-northwest.
These structural features are the result of two separate events. The thrust faulting and related deformation is late Jurassic to Eocene in age. The Basin and Range normal faulting began in late Eocene and continued to Holocene.
title: Petrology of the Middle Cambrian Ute Formation, North-Central Utah and Southeastern Idaho
Creators: name: Deputy, Edward James
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1984

description: The Middle Cambrian Ute Formation was studied in the Bear River Range and the Wellsville Mountains of north-central Utah and southeastern Idaho. The depositional textures and sedimentary structures found within the rocks were compared with similar modern sediments and ancient rocks to determine depositional environments, paleogeography, and diagenetic alterations.
The rocks of the Ute Formation were divided into five basic types. These five rock types were formed within four identifiable lithofacies: 1) elastic marine shelf; 2) carbonate marine shelf; 3) agitated shoal; and 4) quiet-water shoal.
The sequence of elastic and carbonate sediments is believed to have been deposited in a shallow, subtidal environment. Clastic sediments from the east and northwest periodically prograded over the carbonate sequences. A major regression marks the base of the Ute Formation. This was followed by a series of transgressions and regressions, until a major transgression occurred near the end of the deposition of the Ute.
Paleomagnetic and faunal evidence suggest the study area was within 10° of the equator during the Middle Cambrian. Clay mineralogy of insoluble residues indicates a humid, tropical climate.
Primary diagenetic features are compaction, micritization, and cementation. Secondary diagenetic changes include the inversion of high-magnesium calcite to low-magnesium calcite, aggrading neomorphism, stylolitization, fracturing, and calcite infilling.
Partial dolomitization of grains and/or matrix is believed to result from the release of magnesium due to the decomposition of magnesium-rich, organic matter. The formation of a lens-shaped body of dolostone may have resulted from dolomitization by a magnesium-rich fluid circulating along faults.
