Download or read book Rainbow of Rocks written by Marjorie A. Chan and published by Utah Geological Survey. This book was released on 2002-10 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sunrise illuminates Colorado Plateau’s canyon country. In the early morning light, cliffs radiate a rich red glow, and a sculptured panorama of sandstone is revealed in a rich palette of crimson, vermilion, orange, salmon, peach, pink, gold, yellow, and white. Nearby are black, spherical rock marbles (iron concretions) collecting in small depressions, like puddles of ball bearings. These natural spherical balls have been called various names such as iron nodules, iron sandstone balls, or moki marbles. However, we use the name “iron concretion” to describe both the composition (iron oxide that is the dark mineral which cements the sandstone grains) and the formed shape (concretion). What paints the sandstone such rich colors? Why is red a dominant color? Where do the black marbles come from? How did the black marbles form? Is there a relationship between sandstone colors and the marbles? This booklet explores the answers to these questions and poses other questions yet unanswered.
Download or read book Coal Resources of the Muley Canyon Sandstone Member of the Mancos Shale Henry Mountains Coalfield Utah written by Sonja Heuscher and published by Utah Geological Survey. This book was released on 2011-01-20 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A re-evaluation of the underground minable coal resources in the Muley Canyon sandstone member of the Mancos shale in the Henry Mountains coalfield which includes previously uncalcualted land-use and technical restrictions to the minable coal resource are included. The Henry Mountains contains 875 million tons of potentially minable coal. This 19 page report differs from previous evaluations in that it includes additional coal-bed thickness observations and accounts for common restrictions to the minable coal resource.

Download or read book Geological and Petrophysical Characterization of the Ferron Sandstone for 3 D Simulation of a Fluvial deltaic Reservoir written by Thomas C. Chidsey and published by Utah Geological Survey. This book was released on 2002 with total page 491 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of the Ferron Sandstone project was to develop a comprehensive, interdisciplinary, quantitative characterization of a fluvial-deltaic reservoir to allow realistic inter-well and reservoir-scale models to be developed for improved oil-field development in similar reservoirs world-wide. Quantitative geological and petrophysical information on the Cretaceous Ferron Sandstone in east-central Utah was collected. Both new and existing data were integrated into a three-dimensional model of spatial variations in porosity, storativity, and tensorial rock permeability at a scale appropriate for inter-well to regional-scale reservoir simulation. Simulation results could improve reservoir management through proper infill and extension drilling strategies, reduction of economic risks, increased recovery from existing oil fields, and more reliable reserve calculations. This 471-page report describes the geological and petrophysical characteristics of the fluvial-deltaic Upper Cretaceous Ferron Sandstone. The report includes Ferron facies analysis, regional sequence stratigraphy, evaluation of three case-study areas, geostatistics, and a 3-D oil and gas reservoir simulation of the Ferron.

Download or read book Canyon Country written by Sandra N. Eldredge and published by Utah Geological Survey. This book was released on 1996-01-22 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This vast rock desert in southeastern Utah showcases deep, colorful canyons, majestic natural monuments pictured in western movies, a fantasy land of towering pinnacles and slot canyons, rock arches and bridges, and breathtaking vistas atop mesas. Much can be seen by car, and more of this endlessly intriguing country is accessible by foot, mountain bike, four-wheel-drive vehicle, or watercraft. You do not have to be a geologist to enjoy or interpret the scenery, for the rocks easily divulge their stories of forming in seas or on land, in deserts or in deltas, in rivers or along beaches. What a fascinating heritage: dinosaurs once sauntered through lush lowlands leaving huge footprints in mud that has now turned to rock, vast sand dunes that drifted across the area are preserved as large sweeping lines in sandstone walls, and oceans that once covered this region left fossilized corals and seashells embedded in limestone. This guide introduces you to the rocks’ stories, to enhance your travels and your appreciation of the region. Along designated scenic byways, which are portrayed at the end of this pamphlet, look for the specific features described here and learn what their journey has been as you make yours. During your visit, tread lightly on this delicate land so that the pristine and unique landscape remains unchanged. Desert soils are extremely fragile; minimize your impact by staying on roads or marked trails.
