Montana Talc; Problems In Physical Properties, E. C. Armstrong Jun 1950

Montana Talc; Problems In Physical Properties, E. C. Armstrong

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

General information on talc, including foreign and United States occurrences, origin, and uses is covered. Montana deposits are discussed in greater detail as to location, geology, mineralogy, and mining. Studies of talc by petrographic and x-ray methods and an experiment to determine the porosity are described and discussed.


A Preliminary Study Of The Benefication Of Montana Kyanite, Donald Paul Mccarthy Apr 1948

A Preliminary Study Of The Benefication Of Montana Kyanite, Donald Paul Mccarthy

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

This investigation is a preliminary study of the beneficiation of Montana kyanite, and while preliminary in degree the information gained may serve as a guide for the eventual exploitation of this Montana resource.


Geology 63: Geological Report Of Senior Field Trip, Thomas L. Wilson Jan 1948

Geology 63: Geological Report Of Senior Field Trip, Thomas L. Wilson

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The field work was conducted in areas adjacent to White­hall, Montana, as has been the custom for the past several years. Instruction in the proper use of the telescopic and open sight alidades, and the Brunton compass for surveying geologic features was given. Advantages of pacing and speed­ometer mapping were pointed out and used.


Geology Of A Kyanite Deposit Near Ennis, Montana, Clarence L. Nordstrom May 1947

Geology Of A Kyanite Deposit Near Ennis, Montana, Clarence L. Nordstrom

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

A deposit of kyanite, an aluminum silicate mineral used in the ceramic industry, occurs in the low foothills of the Gravelly range about 10 miles south of Ennis, Montana. This study deals primarily with the character and origin of the deposit, and its relationship to the surrounding rocks.


Areal Geology Of The Post-Paleozoic Surface Of The Northwest Plains, William M. Broderick May 1940

Areal Geology Of The Post-Paleozoic Surface Of The Northwest Plains, William M. Broderick

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

Probably most of the area included in this report has been ex­amined to some extent by oil geologists, and most, if not all, of the important domes have been discovered and surveyed thoroughly. In parts of the area, the bedrock is covered by glacial drift or alluvium materi­al, but it is reasonable to believe that no new domal structure will be found. This means that surface examination alone will be insufficient in locating new oil fields, so future prospecting will be dependent, to a great extent, on studies of sub-surface stratigraphy.
