Samuel Calvin (1840–1911) was Iowa's first systematic geologist, who helped to make the first bedrock and landform maps of Iowa, as well as lead geological research throughout the state. [54] Calvin Hall at the University of Iowa is named for him.
Fossil Mountain (10,921 feet (3,329 m)) is located in the Teton Range, within the Jedediah Smith Wilderness of Caribou-Targhee National Forest, U.S. state of Wyoming. [3]As mapped by J. D. Love and others, the peak of Fossil Mountain consists of relatively flat-lying beds of the Mississippian Madison Limestone and underlying Devonian Darby Formation.

A well-defined band of pahas runs between Mount Vernon and Martelle, Iowa and is crossed by Iowa Highway 1. Most are in Benton, Linn, Johnson and Jones counties. [citation needed] Casey's Paha State Preserve in Hickory Hills County Park, Tama County, Iowa preserves the southeast end of a 2-mile (3.2 km) long paha. [12]
The geology of Wyoming includes some of the oldest Archean rocks in North America, overlain by thick marine and terrestrial sediments formed during the Paleozoic, Mesozoic and Cenozoic, including oil, gas and coal deposits. Throughout its geologic history, Wyoming has been uplifted several times during the formation of the Rocky Mountains ...
The region covers an area of about 800,000 sq. km and expands across three Canadian provinces (Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Alberta) and five U.S. states (Minnesota, Iowa, North and South Dakota, and Montana). The hydrology of the wetlands is variable, which results in long term productivity and biodiversity.
He was only the second person in American history to complete two separate geologic maps of an entire region as the senior author (Wyoming 1955 and Wyoming 1985) [1] and was the first winner of the Legendary Geoscientist award from the American Geological Institute. [2]
