The sandstone petrology of the Cocoa Sand Member of the Eocene Yazoo Formation is not well documented. Acquisition of two cores (#1 Ketler and #1 Young) during the Mobil-Mississippi Project of 1993 has provided the opportunity for a detailed petrologic and depositional analysis.The Cocoa Sand Member is a moderate to well sorted, poorly cemented quartz arenite with an average composition of Q% Fo L4. Lithic fragments are dominated by sedimentary rock fragments that appear to be rip-up clasts from the underlying North Twistwood Creek Clay. Quartz grains range from well rounded to angular with embayed anhedral to euhedral grains common. They are often encased in tangential clays indicating a possible reworked sedimentary to volcanic source for this sandstone. Heavy mineral analysis supports a volcanic source, but also indicates a metamorphic contribution.The Cocoa Sand shows little compaction with a packing density averaging 43% and the packing proximity averaging 21%. Point and tangential contacts are predominant as point count porosity averages 18.4%. The dominant authigenic phase is Camontmorillonite with lesser amounts of kaolinite, illite, calcite, and heulandite.Core, petrographic, and log analyses indicates that the Cocoa Sand Member of the Yazoo Formation is an isolated, intrabasinal sheet sand that thickens in the down dip direction. Winnowing of the North Twistwood Creek Member of the Yazoo Formation during transgression resulted in the deposition of the Cocoa Sandstone. This is supported by the similarities in composition between the North Twistwood Creek Member and the Cocoa Sand Member and the presence of rip-up clasts found at the North Twistwood Creek-Cocoa Sand Member contact. It is concluded that the Cocoa Sand Member is the initiation of sequence TE3.3 and here called subset TE3.3a of a transgressive system tract. This subset runs from the base of the Cocoa Sand Member to the bottom of the Pachuta Marl. / Department of Geology

Although John C. Fremont had traveled through Wayne County, Utah, in the winter of 1853-54, it was not until 1874 that the first herd of cattle was introduced to Rabbit Valley. Reports soon circulated that here was a new land, conducive to the raising of livestock, and in 1876 about a dozen families entered the valley and began settlement. Families that moved into this area came from various places. Each settler came to make a new life, and came independently of the others. In 1895 the population was nearly 2,000, and by 1970 it had dropped to 1,486.The Church did not initiate the settlement of Wayne County, Utah, as was happening in other areas, but it still had a great deal of influence because bishops, stake presidents, and other ecclesiastical officers performed both civil and religious functions.The purpose of this work was to provide a written record of the early history of the settlement and development of Wayne County, Utah.
