Wyoming Geological Association Forty-Fourth Field Conference Guidebook 1993 Jubilee Anniversary Field Conference Editors Betty Stroock, Sam Andrew Casper, Wyoming, August 14-19, 1993
EDITORS: Betty Strook and Sam Andrew Guidebook: 410 pages, 28 papers, plates in pocket The 1993 guidebook focuses on the past, present and future of Wyoming geology in recognition of the fifty-year anniversary of the Wyoming Geological Association. The guidebook includes historical papers on Wyoming geology, WGA activities, oil and gas development, and dinosaurs during the last fifty years and before. There is a structural paper on Rocky Mountain foreland structures, as well as papers on the Wind River Range, the Antelope Arch and the Piney Creek Thrust. Stratigraphic papers cover the Frontier Sandstone on the Moxa Arch, Lewis production from the Table Rock-Delaney Rim Field, and sequence analysis of the North Grieve and Sun Ranch fields, as well as a paper on new ideas in Wyoming coal petrology. There is a section on geochemistry and enhanced hydrocarbon recovery that includes papers on pressure compartments in the Powder River and Green River basins, hydrocarbon generation in the Wind and Green River basins, and gas injection studies for enhanced recovery.
