Geology Of The Southern Part Of Wellsville Mountain, Wasatch Range, Utah, Ronald H. Gelnett

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Wellsville Mountain is 10 miles west of Logan, Utah, at the northern extremity of the Wasatch Range. Paleozoic rocks form a northeast-dipping homocline bounded in part by northwest-trending high-angle faults and cut by a series of northeast-trending high-angle faults. A major transverse fault, with a stratigraphic displacement of 4,500 feet, divides the mountain into two distinct blocks.

The rock units of the area are comparable to those of the Logan quadrangle immediately to the east. Pre-Cambrian rocks crop out in Box Elder Canyon, just east of Brigham City, and are overlain by at least 20,000 feet of northeast-dipping Paleozoic rocks …

Geology Of The Northern Part Of Wellsville Mountain, Northern Wasatch Range, Utah, Stanley S. Beus

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Wellsville Mountain forms the extreme northern end of the Wasatch Range in northern Utah. It lies at the western margin of the Middle Rocky Mountain province and is bordered by valleys of the Basin and Range province. Many geologic investigations have been made in this region. Much of the Wasatch Range has been studied and mapped as well as parts of the Bear River Range, east of Cache Valley, and the Malad Range which extends north from Wellsville Mountain; however, the geology of Wellsville Mountain has not been studied or mapped in detail. Some reconnaissance mapping has been done and …

The Basement Of North Dakota, Spurgeon C. Crosby Ii.

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this report is to study the basement rocks of North Dakota. The basement rocks of North Dakota may be divided into two categories. The eastern division comprises deeply weathered material and extends from the Red River westward for approximately thirty miles. The western division essentially comprising adamellite (more than 1/3 but less than 2/3 alkali feldspar and more than 10 percent quartz), extends from a north-south line thirty miles west of the Red River to the Montana border.

The Stratigraphy And Geologic History Of The Cannonball Formation (Paleocene), Gary O. Hall

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this report is to describe the stratigraphy of the Cannonball formation in southwestern North Dakota, and to present a new geologic map of the formation in Oliver, McLean, Burleigh, and Emmons Counties, North Dakota.
