Geology And Mines Of The Upper Blackfoot Valley, Montana, Thomas K. Shea
Geology And Mines Of The Upper Blackfoot Valley, Montana, Thomas K. Shea
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
The purchase and continued operation of the Mike Horse mine in the Heddleston district, by the American Smelting and Refining Company, gives the Blackfoot Valley a renewed promise of a prosperous future in its role as a mining district. In the past, large amounts of placer gold were recovered from the gulches of the area, however, because of the transportation facilities, only the upper portions of a few lodes were exploited by the early miners.
Rugose Corals Of The Madison Group, William R. Paine
Rugose Corals Of The Madison Group, William R. Paine
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
One of the best types of index fossils, and one which occurs most plentifully in the Madison group of formations in Montana, and yet, one which has been little studied, is the group of rugose, or cup, corals. Perhaps this group of fossils has not been studied in detail because their distinguishing characteristics are mainly internal, and laboratory preparation in the form of thin section or polished surfaces is necessary to bring out these characteristics.
Kibbey Sandstone In Montana, Glen Shean
Kibbey Sandstone In Montana, Glen Shean
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Much attention has recently been given, by geologists, to prolific water bearing horizon and a potential oil horizon, known as the Kibbey sandstone, which lies deeply buried under much of central Montana. In some localities the sandstone is dry, and its identification in cuttings from deep wells has in many cases proved difficult.

Upper Cretaceous Sediment In Montana, Frank J. Frankovich
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
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.
Isopach Maps And Discussion Of The Ordovician And Devonian Of Montana And Adjacent Areas, Arden F. Blair
Isopach Maps And Discussion Of The Ordovician And Devonian Of Montana And Adjacent Areas, Arden F. Blair
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
The intensive postwar search for new petroleum horizons has resulted in widespread prospecting in the northern Great Plains. No commercial production has as yet been derived from Ordovician or Devonian rocks in Montana, but the relatively few tests that have penetrated to critical depths have disclosed encouraging conditions which merit further consideration, especially in Devonian strata.
Occurrence Of Native Copper Near Jefferson City, Montana, Terence G. Kirkland
Occurrence Of Native Copper Near Jefferson City, Montana, Terence G. Kirkland
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Sometime prior to 1870, a group of prospectors made what was believed to be a "rich strike' on one of the tributaries of Prickly Pear Creek in Jefferson County, Montana. Instead of striking it rich, they had uncovered a native copper deposit, worthless to them because of its limited extent and remote location, but now of much interest to the geologist, and to the mining engineer because of its possible commercial value.
