Scientific paper

The topographic and structural nature of the Oquirrh basin and the depositional mechanisms responsible for the strata are discussed. The sedimentary and structural history of the basin in the Late Pennsylvanian and Early Permian is emphasized. Field study of the western upper Oquirrh Group focused upon measurement, description, and sampling of six detailed sections and reconnaissance study of adjacent areas. The fourteen lithofacies present are dominated by subarkosic arenite and clastic limestone. The distributions of trace fossils and body fossils and paleoecologic interpretations reveal a gradient of water depths spatially and through time. Fusulinid biostratigraphy permits construction of an accurate time framework in which to examine lithologic and paleoecologic trends.
