William R. Dickinson (1931–2015) retired in 1991, but didn’t stop working, researching,
and writing. His detrital-zircon studies, including those with George Gehrels that
found much of the Colorado Plateau Pennsylvanian to Jurassic sandstone to be
derived from the orogenic belt of the Appalachian Mountains, led Dickinson to
his work on identifying key aspects of the sedimentary and tectonic history of
Colorado Plateau Mesozoic strata. Dividing the strata into 7 depositional systems,
he completed writing on only the lower 5 (Moenkopi, Chinle, Glen Canyon, San
Rafael, Morrison) before his death in July 2015. However, his treatment of upper Kinematics of Transrotational Tectonic Setting of Faulted Tertiary
Paleozoic strata and the lower five Mesozoic “deposystems” was comprehensive, Tectonism in the California Transverse Strata Associated with the Catalina
