Upper Cretaceous Sediment In Montana, Frank J. Frankovich May 1947

Upper Cretaceous Sediment In Montana, Frank J. Frankovich

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

Cretaceous sediments in Montana record events during a period of unusual geologic interest. After a long period of extensive submergence of the area during Jurassic time, came a period of varying continental and marine deposition with consequent variations in the types of sediments laid down. A study of these variations, their extent, and their cause has been the primary object of this thesis.


The Problem Of The Tensleep Sandstone, George D. Mccarthy May 1947

The Problem Of The Tensleep Sandstone, George D. Mccarthy

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

Sandstone is probably one of the most important groups of rocks in existence today. The economic importance of so insignifi­cant a thing as a mass of sand grains grows with the true reality of the situation. By increasing our knowledge of grains of sand, or particles of sandstone in all their ram­ifications, it would undoubtedly reflect upon our everyday life by increasing commercial possibilities of an undevel­oped natural resource of Montana.
