Geology Of The Ragged Point Oil Field Musselshell County, Montana, David M. Amos
Geology Of The Ragged Point Oil Field Musselshell County, Montana, David M. Amos
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
The Ragged Point oil field is located in Northwest Musselshell County, in the Lake Basin field of central Montana, and on the western border of the Great Plains region. The surface topography is that of a plain marked by erosion and moderate folding. The stratigraphy of central Montana shows periodic marine invasions from the Cordilleran trough, with normal marine limestones interbedded with sandstone sand shales. These sediments are over 12,000 feet thick, with the Cretaceous Eagle and Colorado formations exposed at the surface on the Ragged Point anticline. Undifferentiated Cambrian limestones and shales are the oldest rocks encountered in drilling.
Nonmetallic Mineral Resources Of Montana (Except Fuels), F. L. Rytlewski
Nonmetallic Mineral Resources Of Montana (Except Fuels), F. L. Rytlewski
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Essentially, the paper is composed of seven parts, each of which concerns a group of related nonmetallic minerals such as ceramic materials, gemstones, or abrasives. Following the data pertaining to the minerals of each group are index mars locating the major mineral deposits which are known to date. Production and reserve figures are listed by tables in cases where such information is available.
Foraminifera Of The Colorado Shale At Fort Benton, Montana, Robert E. Willson
Foraminifera Of The Colorado Shale At Fort Benton, Montana, Robert E. Willson
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Shale is known to be a source-bed for oil, and the Colorado shale which is over 2000 feet thick in places may well be the source for the oil which is now accumulated in the included or closely associated sandstones. A thorough study of the fossil content may not only be helpful in correlation of Cretaceous sediments, but it likewise may be the starting point for studies -which could eventually lead to the discovery of unknown mineral deposits.
A Study Of Some Pre-Cambrian Schists From Yankee Jim Canyon, Park County, Montana, Charles K. Presley
A Study Of Some Pre-Cambrian Schists From Yankee Jim Canyon, Park County, Montana, Charles K. Presley
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
One of the most highly deformed metamorphic rock series in Montana is exposed fifteen miles north of Yellowstone Park, Wyoming in the great gorge known as Yankee Jim Canyon, which was formed by Yellowstone River at that point. These metamorphics are Pre-Cambrian in age, and are almost certainly sedimentary in origin, although the involved and intricate folding which they have undergone has long since obliterated any superficial traces of that origin.
Coal In Montana, Clifford A. Barkell
Coal In Montana, Clifford A. Barkell
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Coal was first mined in Montana in the year 1880. For the last thirty years the mining of coal in this state has been very important-with few people realizing its value. In the mineral industry, the value of the annual production of coal is exceeded by none of the non-metallics, and only by gold, silver, and copper in the metallics. At the present time the coal production of Montana is valued at about 41000,000.00 annually.
Ground Water In The Lake Basin Field And Adjacent Area, Herman Neibauer
Ground Water In The Lake Basin Field And Adjacent Area, Herman Neibauer
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
This thesis consists of studying the stratigraphic and structural features of the Lake Basin Field and an adjacent area with special emphasis upon the ground water conditions present.
A Study On The Origin Of Banded Agate, James E. Driscoll
A Study On The Origin Of Banded Agate, James E. Driscoll
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Agate in any of its varieties presents numerous problems in regard to its origin. Many types have been described and their beauty elaborated upon, but little has been written concerning their formation and the problems involved. The genesis of agate implicates an amazing complexity of physical and colloidal chemistry, as well as, various principles of geology.
