Geology of Sheep Mountain Anticline
Course: Geology (Geol) 593E, section XA
Continents appear to be everlasting and unchanging. Yet our world is an unstable place that is constantly being squeezed, uplifted, pulled apart and broken. Northern Wyoming is no exception. View the manifestations of these changes as we spend three days in the field exploring Sheep Mountain Anticline, one of the world's most famous geologic structures. We will view and discuss some of the best examples of geologic folding to be found anywhere. You will be introduced to topographic maps, aerial photographs, geologic mapping and geologic features that will include faults and folds. We will relate these geologic features to the discovery and recovery of oil, gas and bentonite, and water in the Bighorn Basin and we will talk about the geologic age of these structures. Be prepared to see some beautiful geology and to do some significant off-road hiking in potentially warm to hot weather. Taught at the ISU Geology Field Station near Shell, WY.
