MEETING NOTICE
TENTH REGULAR MEETING - JUNE 10, 1963
The tenth regular monthly meeting will be held Monday evening, June 10, 1963, on the 10th floor of the Houston Club Building. The social hour will begin at 5: 15 p. rn., dinner at 6:00, and the program at 200 p. m.
This is our last meeting of the current season. As customary we have designated this meeting as "Ladies Night" and a r e extending a most cordial wel- come to our wives to enjoy a delicious dinner with us and to hear and see the interesting story about the mysterious coral reefs off Galveston and Freeport.
Our speaker, Dr. T. E. Pulley, is one of Houston's leading citizens. He is Director of Houston's Museum of Natural Science and a lecturer in biology at Rice University. His research work in the field of marine biology has taken him on many trips to the fishing banks off Galveston and Freeport. These banks are live coral reefs, &e only such reefs in this part of the Gulf of Mexico. Why they should be where they are and the marine life associated with them will be the subject of Dr. Pulley's talk and motion picture.
Dr. Pulley (right) studies coral speci- men from Flower Garden Bank. Captain Simonnete looks on.
The reefs a r e three in number and have been given such common names by veteran f i s h e r m e n as "East S o u t h e a s t Lump," 12 miles off Freeport; "Stetson Bank," 90 miles east of Galveston; and " ~ l o w e r Garden Bank," 120 miles east of Galveston. Dr. Pulley has just re- turned from another visit to these banks and has brought back with him a new series of underwater movies never before seen by the Houston public.
To those of you who would like to invoke the dictum of the present b e i n g t h e key to the past. Dr. Pulley's subject should p r o v i d e some clues on the development of t h e Heterostigina reefs found on some salt domes i n the Houston area.
Dr. Pulley is a Houstonian. Upon graduating from Sam Houston High School he attended Rice University where he received his undergraduate degree in biology. A Masters in biology was obtained from the University of Houston. He performed his doctorate work in marine biology at Harvard University. Dr.
Pulley was with the U.S. Navy f rom 1941 to 1946. He taught a t the University of Houston until 1947 and became Direc tor of the Houston Museum of Natural Science in 1957.
A ma jo r portion of his t ime i s presently being devoted to the current 2 .5 million dol la r Museum and Planetarium building pro jec t now underway a t the north s ide of Hermann Park . A r epo r t on this project appeared on page 20 of l a s t month 's HGS Bulletin.

P R E S I D E N T ' S P A G E
As Alfred Lord Tennyson put i t in one of his poems in the epic s e r i e s on the Round Table, "The old o rde r changes, yielding place to new. . . L e s t one good custom should corrupt the world." This i s proper and we prepare to sing our swan song with a mixture of pr ide and humility.
Perhaps no administration in this Society has ever had to face the prospect of two major Conventions in the same year. The GSA meeting in November found us a s co-hosts with Rice and the University of Houston. While the respon- sibility of this convention res ted more lightly upon us, the ladies auxiliary did yeoman work a t this t ime. The GSA had no such loyal corps to help them enter- tain the wives and this was done in a fashion unknown to previous GSA meetings. It was to be the proving ground fo r the AAPG meeting to follow.
The success of the AAPG Convention in March can be attributed to W. A. Thomas and his hard-working staff. "Tommy" has that r a r e ability of being able t o get people to work hard and enjoy doing so . He i s an executive of the f i r s t o rde r and the smooth manner in which the Convention went off is a tribute to his success . He spent two years organizing the affair and it probably will go down in the history of the AAPG a s the las t great Convention e v e r to be held. The 4600 people who attended may never be matched a s the Internal Revenue people make it more difficult to attend such affairs . Along with "Tommy" such stalwarts a s Jim Wheeler, Henry McQueen, Kenley Clark, Dave Bratton, Clark Edgecomb, and John Anderson deserve mention. The ladies were led by their charming and able president, Inez Broussard, and they include Marjorie Allin, Kathryn M a r r , Betty Gahagan, Virginia Edgecomb, Elizabeth Kovac, and a host of others. Our heartfelt thanks go to al l these and the many others we wish we had space to mention.
Never did a president of this Society have a more congenial and hard- working group to help run the business of the Society for the yea r . My personal thanks go to our able f i rs t vice-president, Judd Oualline, and t o the two who shared the 2nd vice-president's job, Ray Fairchild and Fred Paulus. Charles Ross was the usual dynamo in any job in which he found himself, and B. Otto Pixler just loved writing checks a s the Society's t r easu re r . The Executive Com- mittee was experienced and knowledgeable with George Hardin, Ben Carsey, Bill Cooke, Kenley Clark and Elliott Powers t o give counsel and direction.
The Society grew during the year with much work being done by the chair- man of the Membership Committee, A1 Wadsworth. Other hard-working committeemen were Royce Oualline of the AAPG membership, Stewart Folk of the Library Committee, A1 Mincher of the Boy Scouts, Allen Reagan of Awards & Loans, and Aubrey Rabensburg on Convention Policy. Cy Cantrell made us happy with our qua r t e r s in the Houston Club a s he investigated all others and found us st i l l in the best location. Stuart Clark deserves plaudits for h is schol- ar ly job a s editor of the Bulletin. Again space permits us to mention only a few.
Another hard-working group that i s often overlooked is the staff of our per- manent headquarters a t 234 Esperson Building. Anyone who has not visited
these headquarters and met Polly Anne Howe and Helen Bandy and the others should make it a point to get acquainted with the unofficial bosses of our organi- zation. After three years of working closely with this fine staff, I a m deeply indebted to same.
We shall t u rn over a happy and prosperous Society to our successors in office. Despite the difficulties of the petroleum business in general , geologists have maintained morale, unity and optimism. We look ahead to better days and in the meantime we enjoy the companionship of our friends and co-workers. Thanks and farewell.

AAPG Business Committee
Royce Oualline has submitted the following report of the AAPG Business Committee:
Committee study of the financial structure of the AAPG is still in progress. I can report that the situation is sound and healthy. The best way to remain strong is to support the Association by:
Membership: (1) Pay dues currently, (2) advertise in the Bulletin, (3) buy printed material, (4) enlarge membership roll by encouraging qualified geolo- gists to apply for membership, and (5) supply the editor with good, printable material.
Headquarters Staff: Continue their good work. Executive Council: (1) Evaluate expenditures and contributions, and (2)
make recommendations to alter any situation that is excessive.
If we desire to remain a strong Association and become stronger than com- peting societies, it is necessary for each member to participate in the o v e r - all program, depending on his time and ability.
Editing this Bulletin during the past year has been an always interesting, frequently stimulating and occasionally frustrating experience. Having strug- gled through a term in an unfamiliar job, perhaps I may be permitted a few personal observations.
First let me say that without the technical competence and wholehearted assistance of the Society's representatives, Helen Bandy and Polly Anne Howe in the Cardinal office, I would literally have been adrift without a paddle. In fact, if our respective jobs were accurately identified, I suspect that Helen's title would be Managing Editor, Polly Anne's Business Manager, and mine merely Technical Editor. Working with them has been a thoroughly enjoyable experi- ence. The job has also been a rewarding experience through the widening of my circle of friends and acquaintances and the contacts with some of the best minds in our profession.
I am also indebted to Denny Bartell for "pinch-hitting" for me on the one occasion when I was out of town during the deadline period, in addition to his regular assignment. Cont'd. . .

Such frustrations a s were encountered all had their origin in the difficulty of obtaining technical papers to justify maintaining the publication's status a s a "Bulletin" rather than the "Newsletter" with which the majority of our s is ter- societies a r e content.
That came a s a distinct surpr ise to me. With a membership exceeding 1500 and publishing facilities adequate for satisfactory reproduction of technical papers, I would have anticipated that we should be able to accumulate a backlog of papers through submittals from our membership alone. A moment's reflec- tion will make i t obvious that nothing of the s o r t occurred.
This may have been due in a considerable degree to the fact that this has been an abnormal year, with two major conventions absorbing a great deal of energy and the publication of the "Field Papers" volume and "Guide Book" volume for the GSA siphoning off a vast amount of material, some of which otherwise might have been available for the Bulletin.
But in view of the dearth of submittals and particularly the lack of sub- mittals from major company organizations, there would seem to be valid grounds for discussion of the function which the membership desi res the Bulletin to serve. Certainly i t should hardly be devoted just to airing the editor's views.
The case for publication of original papers may be simply stated. It affords an opportunity for an individual to increase his knowledge of a given geological problem through the extra effort required to prepare a formal presentation, and a corresponding opportunity to increase his stature in the profession if he does a workmanlike job. The individual author is the pr imary beneficiary of the effort that goes into the preparation. His employer (if he i s not an independent) i s the next greatest beneficiary. So the company which does not encourage pub- lication by i ts staff i s stultifying i s own organization.
However, there i s st i l l a legitimate question a s to whether publication in a local society bulletin is preferable o r should be reserved for the bulletins of the AAPG o r GSA, should be incorporated in one of the cooperative efforts such a s our "Field Papers" volume, o r aimed at the broader trade journal audience.
It seems to me that the new group of officers you have elected, and the new editor whom they may designate, a r e entitled to a ra ther clear-cut expression of the Society's des i res regarding the Bulletin a s a medium for the publication of original technical papers. If the decision i s that it should be continued in that capacity, then every geological department represented in Houston s h ou 1 d assume some of the responsibility for providing papers for it.
Apparently somebody has been reading our Bulletin! A note of thanks from Frederic F. Mellen, Director of the Mississippi Geological Survey, says that "Following the appearance of your review (of Rainwater's paper on the Geologi- cal History and Oil and Gas Prospects of Mississippi) and as a direct result of it, we have had a flood of orders from geologists and companies all over Texas, and elsewhere, totalling over 75 within a week's time."

G N O T E S E 0 GEOLOGY AND HYDROCARBONS IN COOK INLET BASIN, ALASKA^
Thomas E . ell^^
ABSTRACT
The Cook Inlet basin of south- central Alaska is an intermontane E structural basin approximately 14.000 square miles in area, encompas-
N sing almost 80, 000 cubic miles of sedimentary rocks ranging in age from Upper Triass ic to Recent. The basin coincides with most of the C northern part of the Matanuska geosyncline - an arcuate Mesozoic trough
E located at the northwestern end of the Pacific Cordilleran mobile belt.
The Cook Inlet sedimentary trough, as contrasted with thestructural basin, is defined as a Paleozoic - early Mesozoic eugeosyncline that received sediments from volcanic islands which were part of the volcanic archipelago bordering the Pacific Coast of North America. Middle Jurassic epeirogeny transformed southern Alaska into arcuate geanticlinal and geosynclinal belts with the Cook Inlet basin beginning as a half graben created by complex faulting on the east flank of the Talkeetna geanticline.
The Mesozoic ernbayment that collected marine sediments and occasional nonmarine wedges abutting cratonic source areas was semienclosed o r silled a s . the Kenai and Chugach Ranges began to emerge following the early stages of the Laramide orogeny. During the early Tertiary, an abundant supply of nonrnarine clastic sediments and carbonaceous material was widely distributed in the sub-- siding intermontane basin.
The structural grain of the major tectonic elements describing the basin architecture is preserved in trends of local structure. Intense folding and fault- ing a r e exhibited on the north, east, and west flanks. Several major buried anticlinal trends extend in a northeasterly direction through the interior.

;OOK INLET BASIN ALASKA
Mesozoic hydrocarbon accumQlations associated with anticlinal t r aps a r e found on the western side of the basin. Minor quantities of oil, gas, and con- densate have been produced f rom sandstones of the Middle Jurassic Tuxedni formation. The oil i s believed to be indigenous to Jurass ic beds.
Oil and gas accumulations in Ter t i a ry beds will determine the significance of the Cook Inlet basin a s an oil and gas province. Present oil production comes f rom the Hemlock zone, a sandstone and conglomerate unit near the base of the Ter t i a ry Kenai Formation. Entrapment has been influenced by folding and fault- ing along trend of a n interior basin high which l ies adjacent and parallel to an
ear ly Ter t iary hinge belt. The Ter t i a ry crude oils were probably derived from Eocene marginal mar ine s t r a t a o r from upper Cretaceous mar ine shales which a r e unconformably overlain by the Ter t i a ry sediments.
Significant quantities of gas - predominantly methane - a r e present in the loosely consolidated sands of the upper Kenai Formation. The two conditions necessary for gas accumulation anywhere in the basin a r e (1) abundance of lig- nite o r coal beds in the section to se rve a s source rocks, and (2) a suitable trap.
The Cook Inlet basin i s in i t s earl iest stage of exploration and development. I t i s anticipated that many new fields will be discovered. Regional isopach maps of the interval between the Mesozoic beds and the base of the Hemlock zone a r e suggested a s a basic approach to delineating old basin highs that may be sound Hemlock prospects. Cook Inlet should become a major gas basin regardless of i t s future a s an oil province.
Review: Well Logs of the Coastal Plain of Georgia, by Stephen M. Herrick, Georgia Geological Survey Bulletin 70, 1961, 462 pages.
A wealth of information of special in teres t to hydrogeologists, petroleum geologists, and students of Te r t i a ry Foraminifera is presented in this repor t which is based on many years of study by the author. Descriptions a r e given of samples f rom 354 wells, mostly water wells, representing each of the 85 Georgia coastal plain counties. Location of the wells is shown on a map with sca le of about one inch = 16- miles.
; Although the repor t i s pr imar i ly concerned with the Cenozoic which has many and extensive aquifers, the full section of Cretaceous, Tert iary, and Quaternary penetrated by some important wells drilled fo r oil and gas i s a lso described. The pre-Cretaceous rocks reached in some wells a r e mentioned but a r e not described in detail.
The well logs a r e arranged alphabetically by counties. The location, eleva- tion, owner (o r operator), and date drilled i s given for each well. Samples a r e described under strat igraphic divisions which a r e accepted by the U. S. Geologi- cal Survey. The lithology is given for each sample o r group of samples, and the f i rs t (top) occurrences of Foraminifera a r e listed. The author is a specialist on Foraminifera, having worked with them for more than twenty years, and it i s heartening to note that he has the courage to use generic names which a r e understood by most paleontologists but which have, for various claimed reasons, been replaced by other names by some "students" of Foraminifera.
The data in this repor t will permit geologists not only to make s t ructure maps on tops of severa l formations in the Georgia coastal plain and isopach maps of the units, but will also enable them to construct paleogeographic and lithofacies maps. The r epor t is a very valuable contribution to Gulf and Atlantic coastal plain geology.

CLARENCE L. MOODY
(1888 - 1963)
Clarence L . Moody, a perfect gentleman, a fine student and an excellent scientist in the field of geology died in Houston, Texas, Sunday morning, April 28, 1963. Our profession suffers a great loss in his death.
Mr. Moody was born October 26, 1888, in Compton, California. He com- pleted his undergraduate and graduate work in geology at the University of Southern California and University of California during the period 1909 to 1917.
His keen desire to see deeper into the bowels of the earth led him to the Rocky Mountain Area after graduation. Unlike many of the early t imers, he commenced his professional ca ree r as a consulting geologist at Casper, Wyom- ing. The Ohio Oil Company, now Marathon Oil Company, recognized his geologic ability, and hired him in 1918 to fill a sorely needed place in the organization, which ended a very short ca ree r as a consultant for him.
Acquisition of properties in the Haynesville and Cotton Valley Fields of North Louisiana in the early 1920's brought Moody to Shreveport and introduced him to the study of Gulf Coastal Plain geology. He resided in Shreveport until 1955, two years after retirement from Company activities.
Moody's f i rs t desi re always was to understand a s perfectly a s possible the geologic history of the area in which he worked, and the geological processes involved in this record. He sincerely believed the correct answer to all geo- logic problems came from relating the rocks to sound fundamental geological processes and thinking. This philosophy motivated him to search remote and almost inaccessible areas to dig out the last bit of factual information. Moody's great enthusiasm for geology, his patience and untiring effort made him an expert in the science, and a man from whom all of his co-workers and asso- ciates sought advice and counsel.
Moody's work was his principal hobby. His foresightedness directed his approach to a problem generally along lines different from the average geolo- gist. This, we suppose, was the scientific instinct that he developed. Very early after settling in Shreveport, he began collecting and assembling labora- tory equipment. About 1940 he built his personal laboratory at his home, and at this time, started on his own a real research program. From this program came many contributions to our geologic l i terature. His ultimate goal on retire- ment was to continue this work and publish his ideas on rocks and minerals. I am sure our profession and the science of geology can profit if his notes, maps, data, e tc . , can be assimilated into the book he hoped to publish, but did not finish before his death.
Moody was an inspiration to many, many young geologists, and he gave willingly of his time and counsel to them. He had a great interest in the ad- vancement of many of our young geologists. One of his finest attributes was his ability to motivate individual thinking.
Moody was a most diligent worker in all of the local geological and scienti- fic societies to which he belonged. He was always a guiding hand through the troubled periods of these organizations' growth.
He was a very active worker in the American Association of Petroleum Geologists. He served on numerous committees, was Editor, Vice-president, President and was awarded the Sidney Powers Medal for distinguished service. He was a member of the Geological Society of America and American Associa- tion for Advancement of Science, and an Honorary Life Member of HGS.
Moody loved fishing, particularly for the finny ones in the Gulf of Mexico. He became quite interested in gardening and landscaping over the past eight years that he lived in Houston.
Survivors are: Hazel Alice, his wife; Marjorie Moody Moorehead, daugh- ter; John D. and Robert, sons; and six grandchildren.

New Building for University of Houston Geology Department
Ground has been broken for a new building to house the Geology Department at the University of Houston, with construction to be completed by the end of August, this August, 1963.
Thestructure is designed specifically to support the present and anticipated .functions of the department, by providing about 15% more floor space in a much more useful arrangement. A well-planned lecture room with capacity for 150, and four teaching laboratories sized conveniently for 20 students, a re included.
-One teaching laboratory is arranged primarily for each of the following: paleon- tology a n d stratigraphy; optical mineralogy a n d petrography; megascopic mineralogy and petrology; and mapping-type courses like structural and petro- leum geology.
Research space will be almost doubled, with separate laboratories for rock preparation, paleontology preparation, X- r a y diffraction a n d fluorescence equipment, geochemistry, and sedimentation. The biggest innovation is eight compact cubicles for graduate assistants, each with a window and space for desk, table, bookshelf, etc.
The new building will be of modern design, frame construction, two stories in height, centrally air-conditioned. It is located about 500 f t . north of the Science Building in which the department is now located. The move to the new quarters will be completed before classes begin this fall.

The awards consist of a fifty dollar check and a year's membership in the Houston Geological Society. While the immediate monetary value of the award is nominal, the recognition of the traits of character and intellect which it con- veys should be of inestimable value to the recipients.
We extend to the following students our felicitations and our good wishes for every success in their future careers.
DUANE E. MOREDOCK, University of Houston, introduced by Dr. DeWitt C. Van Siclen. Mr. Moredock is a native Texan, born and raised a t Santa Anna in Central Texas. After graduating from Santa Anna High School in 1950 he enlisted in the Air Force, where he spent 1.5 years a s an Air Policeman and 2.5 years a s an Aircraft Mechanic. Evidently this somehow inspired him to enter the University of Texas, from which he graduated four years later with the B.S. in Geology. As you may recall, 1958 was not a very cheerful time for new graduates in Geology, but he stuck with it as a mud logger for Caran Engineer- ing out of San Antonio and Core Labs out of Houston.
In the fall of 1960 Mr. Moredock entered the University of Houston a s a Graduate Student while working part-time as a sample washer for Amera& Petroleum Corporation. He greatly impressed the staff with his initiative, dili- gence and common sense, so last fall he was invited to apply for a Graduate Assistantship. He proved to be one of the most effective Graduate Assistants the Department ever had.
Last summer Mr. Moredock did geologic work for Humble Oil Company at Corpus Christi. This summer his main effort will be to complete his Thesis, entitled "Regional Variations of Hydrocarbons in the Cretaceous Edwards Sec- tion of South Texas." His preliminary summary was printed in the HGS Bulletin last November and reprinted in the Bulletin of the South Texas Geological Society + month o r two later.
Mr. Moredock is already a member of the HGS. He is also a Junior Mem- ber of the AAPG, and a Member of the American Society of Photogrammetry, American Association for the Advancement of Science, and Sigma Gamma Epsilon.
GERALD R. BURNS, Lamar State College of Technology, introduced by Dr. Saul A. Aronow. Mr. Burns was born in 1937 in Conroe, Texas. He graduated from Conroe High School in 1955 and attended Rice University from 1955 to 1957. In the summer of 1957 he worked a s a computer for Coastal Oil Finding Company of Houston. From 1957 until 1960, he served in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers a s a computer for a geodetic survey in Libya. He entered Lamar in 1960. k e has accepted an assistantship beginning in the fall of 1963 a t the University of Illinois. This coming summer he will be doing field work for the Saskatchewan Research Council in Canada. Burns has been a Teaching Assistant in this department for the last two years. He is current President of the Lamar Tech Geology Club.
MICHAEL C. McEWEN. Rice University, introduced by Dr. John J. W. Rogers. Mr. McEwen has been at Rice since 1956 after receiving the Bachelor of Arts degree k o m the Bowling Green State University in Ohio. He received a Master's degree a t Rice in 1959 for a thesis dealing with the texture and com-
position of weathered granite. His Ph.D. work has involved a study of the sedimentary facies and geologic history of the Delta of the Trinity River. He is expected to receive a Ph.D. degree this June. He has held assistantship- fellowships in geology for two years and the Humble Oil and Refining Company fellowship for one year . Mr. McEwen has s tar ted full-time employment with Shell Oil Company in Corpus Christ i .
STEPHEN V. SMITH, University of Texas, introduced by D r . W. C. Bell. Mr . Smith was born in 1942 in Morgantown, West Virginia, and graduated from Temple (Texas) High School in 1960. He i s currently working on his Honors Thesis (B.A.) under D r . Bell at the University of Texas. During his college years he has been the recipient of a tuition scholarship, the John A. and Kather- ine G. Jackson Scholarship, and a Texaco Scholarship.
M r . Smith has spent his summers getting geologic experience. In 1959 he worked for Dr . Wilson (Univ. of Texas) a t Vertebrate Paleontology Laboratory, in 1960 he worked for Dr . Ellison (Univ. of Texas) in conodont preparation labo- ratory, in 1961 he was field assistant to a Ph.D. graduate student working i n Davis Mountains, Texas, and in 1962 he was field assistant to graduate students from LSU in northern Mexico.
He i s a member of Phi Eta Sigma and Sigma Gamma Epsilon.
A. RAY JENNLNGS, A & M College of Texas, introduced by Dr. M. C . Schroeder. M r . Jennings was born in 1926 in Grosvenor, Texas. He graduated from Hardin-Simmons University with a B.A. degree, Summa Cum Laude, in 1958, and from A&M College of Texas with' a M. S . degree in 1960. In 1958 he was awarded the Abilene Geological Society Distinguished Student Award, and in 1959 the National Science Summer Fellowship.

The success of the 13th year of our Auxiliary i s most certainly due to the enthusiasm with which i t s 665 members met the challenge! Months of planning for the National AAPG-SEPM-SEG Convention this past March by Co-chairmen Kathryne M a r r and Marjory Allin and their committees produced a beautiful and exciting convention. In November the National GSA Convention was s o much fun that Co-chairman Betty Gahagan and I hated t o see i t end.
In addition to all the convention part ies and plans, the board and committee chairmen of the Auxiliary have handled their duties with great efficiency. We have had splendid attendance a t the four lovely part ies that Elma Carey and h e r committees have given us. This is sure ly the most wonderful group of women with whom I have eve r had the privilege of working and I a m grateful to more of you than I can name here .
At o u r business meeting and luncheon May 8th a t the River Oaks Country Club the following slate of officers was unanimously elected. I know we'll have another splendid y e a r ahead.
