Neoproterozoic Uinta Mountain Group The Rocks Of Utah Youtube In this episode of the rocks of utah we explore the neoprotozoic uinta mountain group and the red creek quartzite. the rocks of utah is a series that. The neoproterozoic uinta mountain group is undergoing a new phase of stratigraphic and paleontologic research toward understanding the paleoenvironments, paleoecology, correlation across the range and the region, paleogeography, basin type, and tectonic setting.
Redbeds Hades Pass Formation Neoproterozoic Sheep Creek Canyon The oldest rocks exposed in the uinta mountains are the 1.7 billion year old metamorphic rocks of the red creek quartzite exposed in a small part of the eastern uintas on goslin mountain and in jesse ewing canyon north of browns park. however, they are not the oldest rocks in utah. those belong to the 2.7 billion year old metamorphic rocks of. During part of the late neoproterozoic (about 770 to 740 mya) it formed the northern boundary of a faulted basin in which a huge amount of sand, gravel, and mud accumulated that today are rocks of the uinta mountain group and form the core of the uinta mountains. the uintas owe their east west trend to this ancient boundary. The marine and fluvial metasedimentary rocks in the core of the uinta mountains are of neoproterozoic age [3] (between about 700 million and 760 million [4] years old) and consist primarily of quartzite, slate, and shale. these rocks comprise the uinta mountain group, and reach thicknesses of 13,000 to 24,000 feet (4.0 to 7.3 km). most of the.

Abstract sedimentary rocks of the uinta mountain group (northeastern utah) preserve fossils deposited in a marine setting during middle neoproterozoic time. although well preserved, species diversity is much lower than many other midddle neoproterozoic siliciclastic deposits. microfossil assemblages are mostly limited to leiosphaeridia sp., bavlinella faveolata, and filaments. diverse. The neoproterozoic uinta mountain group is undergoing a new phase of stratigraphic and paleontologic research toward understanding the paleoenvironments, paleoecology, correlation across the range.
