3 Geology The Earth Beneath Our Feet Geology is the surface of the Earth and the soils, sands, gravels and solid bedrock deeper into the earth Sometimes we are interested in what is a few hundred feet down, sometimes thousands of feet down.
4 How Do We Describe Geologic Materials?
5 How do we know about the Geology of Michigan? We look around Michigan and observe the landforms, soils, beaches, etc. at the surface and also look for areas of solid bedrock, mostly along the lake shores, in river valleys and in quarries that we dig. Also we can sample rock layers by drilling wells.
6 Michigan Stratigraphic Column Decades of studies of Michigan Geology has produced a similar diagram of the rock layers Thickness of this entire column can be up to 16,000 feet in the center of the State From Michigan Basin Geological Society and Michigan Geological Survey, 2000
7 Variation in Geology around the State The thickness and types of geologic materials vary from region to region in Michigan The thickest column of these formations is in Central Michigan and thinning occurs towards the edges Surface geology may vary, especially in the Upper Peninsula Types of rocks deeper in the subsurface may change around the State
8 Geologic Cross Section of Michigan From Michigan Oil and Gas News
9 Introduction-Geology of Michigan Geologic data for most of Michigan is derived from sparse natural outcrops, quarries and abundant well data with logs, samples and cores Surface geology of Michigan is dominated by Pleistocene Glacial deposits and landforms Subsurface geology is mostly the Paleozoic sedimentary rocks of the Michigan Basin Surface and subsurface geology of Western Upper Peninsula is Pre-Cambrian crystalline igneous and metamorphic with some sedimentary and metasedimentary rocks

13 Geologic Setting of the Michigan Basin
14 Michigan Stratigraphic Column
15 Jurassic Subcrop Jurassic outcrops are not found in Michigan, strata is only known from oil and gas drilling samples that contain fossil spores and pollen of Jurassic age. Ionia Sandstone is only known formation. Lithology is medium to fine red sandstone probably deposited in a terrestrial setting. Steve Wilson, deq-ogs-gimdl-gtlh_geo.pdf
16 Pennsylvanian Subcrop Isolated outcrops occur in Arenac, Branch, Calhoun, Clinton, Eaton, Huron, Ingham, Ionia, Jackson, Ottawa, Saginaw and Shiawassee counties. Major natural resources are limestone, sandstone and coal. Several units are regional bedrock aquifers and serve as an important source of fresh water. Lithology is mixed sandstone, shale, siltstone, coal and limestone deposited in a fluvialdeltaic setting. Steve Wilson, deq-ogs-gimdl-gtlh_geo.pdf
17 Pennsylvanian Sandstones at Grand Ledge, MI osciences/ct/tig/websites/l OCAL/Summer2003/Fessenden_ Lisa/7day1.html
18 Mississippian Subcrop Largest area of subcrop for any geological system in the Lower Peninsula. Major natural resources are limestone and fine-grained sandstone. Marshall Sandstone is major regional bedrock aquifer and serves as an important source of fresh water. Lithology is mixed sandstone, shale, siltstone, coal and limestone deposited in a shallow marine setting. Steve Wilson, deq-ogs-gimdl-gtlh_geo.pdf
19 Devonian Subcrop Natural outcrops and quarries are relatively abundant, especially near the Great Lakes margins. Bedrock is commonly near the surface, with thin glacial veneer. Steve Wilson, deq-ogs-gimdl-gtlh_geo.pdf Major natural resources are limestone and a few clay shales. Fractured and karsted Limestone are regional bedrock aquifer in northern L.P. Lithology is mostly Limestone and Dolomite with minor shale, evaporites and sandstone.

25 Silurian Subcrop Natural outcrops and quarries are fairly common in southeastern U.P. Bedrock is commonly near the surface, with thin glacial veneer. Major natural resources are limestone and dolomite near surface and salt in subsurface. Fractured and karsted Limestone and dolomite are regional bedrock aquifer in southeastern U.P. Lithology is mostly Limestone and Dolomite with minor shale and abundant basinal evaporites. Steve Wilson, deq-ogs-gimdl-gtlh_geo.pdf

27 Michigan Stratigraphic Column
28 Ordovician Subcrop Natural outcrops uncommon in central U.P. Bedrock is commonly near the surface, with thin glacial veneer. Major natural resources are limestone and dolomite. Fractured and karsted Limestone and dolomite are regional bedrock aquifer in central U.P. Lithology is mostly Limestone and Dolomite with minor shale and sandy dolomite. Steve Wilson, deq-ogs-gimdl-gtlh_geo.pdf
29 Cambrian Subcrop Natural outcrops abundant along Lake Superior shoreline. Bedrock is commonly near the surface, with thin glacial veneer. Major waterfall forming unit in U.P. Major potential natural resource is Sandstone. Sandstone is local bedrock aquifer in northern U.P. Lithology is predominately Sandstone. Steve Wilson, deq-ogs-gimdl-gtlh_geo.pdf
30 Munising Ss. Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore
31 Pre-Cambrian Subcrop Natural outcrops and mines abundant in western U.P. Major source of metallic ores, especially iron and copper. Generally poor local bedrock aquifer. Lithology is varied, mostly crystalline igneous and metamorphic along with sediments and metasediments. Steve Wilson, deq-ogs-gimdl-gtlh_geo.pdf
