Mid Mesozoic at northern Capitol Reef National Park (CARE)

The National Park Service intends to award a single-source justified cooperative agreement to the Utah Geological Survey for a project to measure detailed stratographic sections of the Morrison and Cedar Mountain Formations in the northern part of Capitol Reef National Park. The project aims to tie paleontological resources in the area to the resulting stratigraphic framework and publish the data in "Geology of the Intermountain West". The project will improve the public's understanding of geological and paleontological resources in the state of Utah and increase public awareness, knowledge, and stewardship of the nation's natural heritage. • The project will be conducted in the northern part of Capitol Reef National Park. • The project will focus on the Morrison and Cedar Mountain Formations. • The project will include measuring detailed stratigraphic sections and tying paleontological resources to the resulting stratigraphic framework. • The project will result in the publication of data in "Geology of the Intermountain West".
