In 1972 the work begun in 1971 was completed by measuring through and collecting the reef body (Smoke Creek Member). Those collections are reported here in descending order. DISCUSSION. The framestone core of this reef accounts for less of the total reef thickness than at the Wind River Section. There is a great deal of lime mud in the upper part of the reef, mostly bound together by laminar stromatoporoids or trapped by branching forms such as Amphipora, Thamnopora and Stachyodes. Angry Bee Creek 1971 (Lower Hunt Fork - Smoke Creek Member) Amoco measured and collected an incomplete 580-foot thick section of the Lower Hunt Fork (Devonian, Dlf unit of the U.S.G.S.) at Angry Bee Creek. Neiither formation contact was exposed. The section consists of three units. Basal 70-foot unit is stromatoporoid and coral rich, fetid, argillaceous limestone with scattered thin interbeds of dark shale. The The shales are most abundant at the base of this unit which grades vertically into a cleaner limestone. The middle 240-foot unit is dark, fissile, iron-rich shale with minor mudstone layers at its base. Its upper 35 feet contains small, fossiliferous incipient carbonate buildups which gradeu upward from nodules through lenses and layers into massive reefoid coral and stromatoporoid boundstones. Only the lower part of the 250-thick upper boundstone unit was accessible. ....... The sequence is Middle Frasnian. Amoco's megafossil collections are now supposed to be reposited at the Sam Noble Museum, Univ. Oklahoma in Norman, OK |
