A Study Of The Genesis Of The Krueger Zinc Deposit And The Near-By Barite Deposits Of The Potosi Quadrangle, Washington County, Missouri, Attilio Ligasacchi

Masters Theses

This thesis deals with the study of the genesis of the Krueger zinc deposit and the near-by barite deposits of the Potosi quadrangle, Washington County, Missouri.

The rocks outcropping in the quadrangle embrace Pre-Cambrian and Lower Paleozoic formations, the Potosi and Eminence being the most important formations with regard to the studied deposits.

The few structures present in the area of the vertical type and are more abundant in the southern part of the quadrangle.

Special emphasis is placed on the relationships between the barite, the associated sulfides, and the host rock.

Geometric and geochemical criteria are studied in detail …

A Review Of Fossilization Processes In Different Sedimentary Environments (With Special Reference To The Time Factor Of Deposition Of Ore Minerals Associated With Fossil Material, In Particular The Coprolitic Phosphate Deposits), Giovanna Reggiori Ligasacchi

Masters Theses

"This thesis offers a cross/section through some principal fossilization processes involving organic matter (animals and plants) during and after sedimentation. The influence of different environments during fossilization is considered. The chemical composition of some classes of living invertebrates and plants is compared with the chemical composition of same organisms as found in consolidated sediments as fossils.

Some literature on carbonates, oxides, silicates, phosphates, and sulphides in fossils is reviewed with particular attention to those instances where the fossils are associated with ore minerals. Special consideration is given to the occurrence and composition of fecal matter in recent and consolidated sediments. …

Geology Of The Annapolis Area, Iron County, Missouri, Richard A. Zimmermann

Masters Theses

"The objectives of this investigation include the following: (1) to map the distribution of the igneous and sedimentary rocks, (2) to investigate the structure and lithology of these rocks and to determine their sequence, (3) to determine the stratigraphic position of the sedimentary rocks relative to known Missouri formations, (4) to determine the igneous rock types, and (5) to investigate the distribution and occurrences of economic minerals"--Purpose of Investigation, Page 6.

Geology Of The Copper Deposits In The Eminence Region, Shannon County, Missouri, Lanny Lee Evans

Masters Theses

"Copper has been known to occur in Shannon County, Missouri since the early 1830's. A number of small deposits in an area around Eminence has been worked intermittently up to the present day. Little detailed geologic information is available on these deposits. The geology of the Eminence region consists of Precambrian rhyolite porphyry knobs projecting through dolomites and sandstones of Upper Cambrian and Ordovician age. A conglomerate of limited horizontal extent overlying the Precambrian is found at certain localities within the region. The only structures noted are the structural highs formed where the Paleozoic sediments lap upon the knobs. The …

Geology Of The Northeast Portion Of Des Arc Quadrangle, Iron And Madison Counties, Missouri, Wesley Dean Weixelman

Masters Theses

"A geological investigation of the northeast portion of Des Arc Quadrangle in southeast Missouri was completed during the summer of 1958. Exposed Precambrian rocks include, from oldest to youngest, undifferentiated purple rhyolites with an interlayered tile-red rhyolite, andesine basalts with interlayered tuff, and an andesite. A diabase dike intrudes the lower purple rhyolites. The purple rhyolites account for about ninety-seven percent of the Precambrian exposures. Exposed Paleozoic rocks belong to the Bonneterre formation and include three members: (1) Lower Brown dolomite; (2) Light Gray dolomite with Tom Sauk limestone and arkosic sandstone and conglomerate facies; and (3) Upper Brown dolomite. …

The Geology Of The Uranium-Vanadium Deposit Of The Diamond No. 2 Mine, Near Gallup, New Mexico, Raymundo J. Chico

Masters Theses

"This thesis deals with the geology of the Diamond No. 2 Mine east of Gallup, New Mexico. The sedimentary rocks ranging from Triassic to Cretaceous are described in relation to the local stratigraphic setting.

The Dakota formation is the host rock of the ore deposit, and was therefore studied in detail with regard to its petrographic nature and the sedimentary structures such as slumping. Special emphasis is placed on the study of the relationships between the uranium and vanadium deposit and the host rock. Geometrical and geochemical criteria are offered in order to explain the local genesis of the ore …
