At em first September 1992 meeting, I mentioo.edto those memberspresent my desire to see the sx:n:rt'SIUSlBm!R develop into mre of a f«un for the exchange of ideas between members. To those wOOwereunable to attend that meeting, I extend the sameoffer. We will makespace available to print yolI' lettersm items yoo feel will be of interest to em members. ~t me say, I amnot neoessarily looldD] for thesismaterial. Youmaywish to discuss theories regard:ing the Rose Run reservoir developDent wt I amjust asinterested in bearing aboot excellent fossil collecting sites or notable road cuts. To get thiJlgs started,I'll throw a few tln1ghts am asides into the ring.

OVerthe years I have, frail time to time, been asked to speak to various groops cmcern:illq geologic topics.'Ibis JIalth, for example, a Girl Scmt troop bas asked me to help with their wark towards a badge ingeology. Later this year I will talk to a jtmior high class m earth science. I'm sure manyothers of yoohave had similar requests. It bas been my experience that the best way to get the attenticm of theaudience is to have an attractive mineral. and fossil d.ispl.ay; lots of colors, shapes am glitz.

I would like to propose that 'DIE<BID GlDOOTOL sx:n:n put together a portable geologic display to beused to aid in geologic presentatims. Specimens dooated fraD private oollectioo.s and requests fordalatioos fran colleges am universities should be sufficient to provide an introductioo. to basiccrys~, mineralogy, am rock types. In additial to mak:i.DJthe d.ispl.ayavailable to all members,adescriptioo. of the traveling kit am a list of interested member-speakers cool.d be sent to ario schooldistricts ~ them of the ax:IItt'S will;~ to assist their students with the study of the earthsciences.

See, that wasn't so bad. I look forward to seeIDJ yolI' respooses. Just a quick reminder to <XIIIPleteandreturn this year's membershipawlicatial. Vie&-President Rea bas scbeduled a speaker 00. 3-D seismic forthis nmth which pranises to be informative. Please plan to attend.

A numberof enigmatic fossils have ~ been knoIm.in the ~ Devari.anshales of ado am other areasof North America. Similar fossils are found in other areas of the world. lXlring the last 100 yearsthese fossils have been interpreted in several radically different ways. '1hese enigmatic fonDs includeCoocavicaris, "Angustidootius", aM Spathiocaris, wb:i.chare all found in both the Cleveland and ChagrinShale Hembersof the <lri.oShale. Both the anatany am the envirooment of the arthropod Coocavi.caris havebeen cootroversial. Recent work points to a mesopelagic habitat for this crustacean. Claws ofarthropods referred to the genus "Angustidootis" were originally described as fish jaws, bit haverecently been found as part of crustaceans in ari.o am Nevada. 'wrintE!n-flecken"(fossils resemblirYJinkspots), ~ knoIm fraD the black shales of ari.o am el.seHhere, have been interpreted as arthropodscarapaces and, alternatively, as ~ aptychi. CUrrently, JOOStworkers agree en their beingcephalopod parts, bit which part is problematical.

Past applicaticns of the single fold,cmtinucm-subsurface-coverage (seismic) data acquisiticn tedmiques employedall of the interpretivetheories applied to IIl11ti-fold oowerage. Twodimensimal data are (ooticeably) out of the plane of thevertical time (depth) secticn whenbedding dips are over five degrees, except whenthe line orientaticnis parallel to the tI'\le"1ti.pazimth. Coosequentlyit was (and is) a field requirement to obtain cross-spreads at suitable intervals, depending em the magnitude and cauplexity of the objective targetstructure(s). Whentrue dip was p1otted, the inclinaticn of the secticn, out-of vertical, cool.dbereadily observeddownthroogh the entire sectioo of interest. It is possjb1e to receive reflectioos franboth sides of the line, scmetimes siDllltaneously. "nle time (depth) secticn cool.d, if iqxrtant, becorrected to vertical. In the simple case, whenthe seismic acquisitial line parallels the dip azimuth,the subsurface data point (s) migrate up-dip to a specific, in-line locatial £ran the smt-point.
