Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Obsidian Cliff: Yellowstone National Park A view of the west face of the southern end of the cliff is given in pi. IX. The shining black columns rise from a talus slope which reaches some fifty feet up the cliff. These prisms are fifty or sixty feet high and vary in width from two to four feet near the end of the cliff, the width of each column being quite constant throughout its length. On the south face of this end of the cliff the columns are the same, but grow less clearly defined toward the east, where a sharp bend in the lava sheet has formed gaps in the rock and de stroyed the continuity of the mass; beyond this the columns incline considerably toward the west, as though the underlying surface of contact sloped toward the west also. Farther up the slope to the east they disappear. The columns in the main face of the cliff are tilted 10° to the eastward, and the planes of flow which cross them have an average dip of 10° east, indicating that the underlying sur face at this place slopes toward the east. Along the cliff to the north the columns become gradually broader, the largest being 20 feet in width. The prisms have no uniform number of sides, four, five, and six being those most frequently observed; the sides are unequally devel oped, but at a distance the general effect is quite regular. Toward the north, with the change in the nature of the rock, to be described later on, the broad columns grade into massive blocks formed by vertical cracks much farther apart.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A brief update is given concerning our research into the distribution of obsidian from the three apparently most important sources in, or adjacent to, northwestern Wyoming. These include Obsidian Cliff in Yellowstone National Park and Teton Pass in southern Jackson Hole. The specific location of the third source, the F.M.Y. or 90 Group, obsidian from which was identified on archaeological sites over 15 years ago, is still unknown. The distribution data from archaeological sites suggest that the F.M.Y. (90 Goup) source itself is not located in Yellowstone National Park as was originally hypothesized; nor is it in Jackson Hole. We currently believe that it may be found somewhere in the arc west to north of Yellowstone National Park. The paper concludes with a request for samples from possible sources so that we might pinpoint the exact F.M.Y. (90 Group) location.

You look at Yellowstone National Park's fantastic features and see magic. No matter how much you understand the what, where, when, how, and why of this wonderland, its magical qualities remain. Our minds may grasp the immense age and processes geologists detect in the earth's crust, but our feelings remain paramount. Confronted with geysers, mud pots, fumaroles, and majestic water falls, a part of us still tips its hat to magic.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Yellowstone: A Natural and Human History, Yellowstone National Park, Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming While 19th - century Americans prized Yellow stone's wonders for their curiosity, they also valued them as manifestations of natural processes that might expand human horizons. The l870s saw the establishment of us. Geological surveys as well as the park. One of Yellowstone's main explorers, Ferdinand Hayden, was a government geologist. Members of Congress would not have voted to pre serve Yellowstone if it had seemed only an infernalamusement park. They were well aware of the deeper implications of all that steam rushing forth from the ground and water crashing over falls - such forces drove industrial development then. Geology was a cutting-edge science of the mid-19th century. Geol ogy then was like space exploration would be to the mid-2oth century, and the Yellowstone area was its Mars. Yellowstone was that faraway, alien place where theories could be tested by observing natural forces still at work in spectacularly pristine ways. This noble deed may be regarded as a tribute from our legislators to science, Hayden wrote about the park's creation. The new way of regarding the Earth was not con fined to geologists and legislators. The fur trapper Joe Meek expressed it in rudimentary but vivid lan guage in 1829. Meek likened one of Yellowstone's geyser basins to the industrial city of Pittsburgh. Three young frontiersmen who explored the region 40 years later echoed Meek, calling one hot spring concentration the chemical works.

This book was released on 2017-10-29 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Geology of Pre-Tertiary Rocks in the Northern Part of Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming Indian Creek laccolith. Doming over the laccolith apparently caused the massive upper Paleozoic rocks to slide northward on the gently dipping Crowfoot fault zone. In late Paleocene and Eocene time, the rocks in the north ern part of Yellowstone Park were broken by steep north west-trending reverse faults, which include (1) the faults of the north-dipping Gardiner fault zone and the associated reverse faults northeast of the Gallatin Range and (2) the south-dipping Grayling Creek fault southwest of the Gallatin Range. The Gallatin block was depressed between these bounding faults. Displacement on the Gardiner fault zone exceeds feet, and that on the Grayling Creek fault is uncertain, but it probably exceeds feet. The Gardiner fault zone is the southwest boundary of the uplifted Bear tooth block, which is the dominant structural feature in the north-central and northeastern parts of the park.
