Specifications include, but are not limited to: CONTRACTOR, working in cooperation with a Utah Geological Survey (UGS) Geologic Mapping Program, will complete detailed measured sections, descriptions of measured rocks, and regional correlation diagrams of Cambrian rocks to assist with current 1 :24,000-scale geologic mapping efforts of the Huntsville 7.5' quadrangle, Utah. Provide geochronological expertise and oversight of radiometric U-Pb age determinations for Neoproterozoic, Cambrian, and Paleogene rocks in the Huntsville quadrangle and surrounding areas. Measured sections, rock desc1iptions, diagrams, and geochronologic reports will be completed for submission to UGS for first review by July 16, 2024, such that a final report can be delivered to Utah Geological Survey by August 16, 2024. In this contract, UGS refers to the Utah Geological Survey, a division of the Utah State Department of Natural Resources. • Contractor will cooperate and be a coauthor on the geologic maps alongside Adam McKean, Greg McDonald, and Zach Anderson, UGS Geologic Mappers. • Contractor will complete detailed measured sections of Cambrian sedimenta1y rocks in in the hanging wall of the Willard Thrust sheet in and near the Huntsville quadrangle. A report characterizing and interpreting the sedimentary structures and depositional environments of the measured rocks will accompany the sections. Detailed unit desc1iptions for each formation measured will accompany the sections. Regional correlation diagrams of the measured rocks with other rocks of similar age in northern Utah will also be completed. • Contractor will measure thickness of Cambrian rocks using a Jacob staff, Brunton compass, and a systematic methodology. They will identify and document rock characteristics including composition, bedding structures, geometries, and thicknesses on a scale appropriate for 1 :24,000 scale mapping and stratigraphic work. They will use their expertise in Cambrian stratigraphy, sedimentology, and regional geology along with new mapping from UGS collaborators as well as previously published materials to identify formation contacts in the field and note the stratigraphic location and nature of those contacts on the measured section. They will identify structural features they encounter within the line of section and determine the best way to document, avoid, or measure through those structures. They will document any intervals that are sampled for analysis. Measured sections will be drafted in a computer software program such that they are compatible with Adobe Illustrator, will be made using UGS and USGS styles and symbology, and will be publication quality. Unit descriptions will adhere to UGS style and format. Any correlation diagrams or reports will be publication quality...
