Download or read book The Geology of Antelope Island, Davis County, Utah written by Jon K. King and published by Utah Geological Survey. This book was released on 2000 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Antelope Island, the largest of Great Salt Lake’s eight major islands, is about 15 miles (24 km) long and up to 5 miles (8 km) wide, and covers approximately 40 square miles (104 km2). Frary Peak, the island’s highest point, is 6,597feet (2,010 m) above sea level and about 2,400 feet (730 m) above the lake’s historical average level. Although the island is perhaps best known for its wildlife and relatively pristine condition, the island is also fascinating from a geological standpoint.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Marlin Stum, journalist and nature writer, grew up east of Antelope Island. He has spent much of his life exploring it and Great Salt Lake, in the field and through library research, and he currently is a state park volunteer on the island. Stum reviews Antelope's story in detail, from the dramatic impact of natural cycles of fire and flood to the island's emblematic, free-roaming buffalo herd. He covers geology and wildlife, archaeology and history, recreation and park management, and other topics, and he invariably considers Antelope Island in relation to the environment and history of Great Salt Lake and the Salt Lake Valley, from which its story should not be separated."--Jacket.

This book was released on 1995 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the tremendous growth of population in this and neighboring states, there are more collectors than ever before and with the rapidly escalating prices for mineral and fossil specimens in the retail market, there is a great demand for displayable material. It has become necessary for professional geologists, hobby collectors, and commercial collectors to recognize each others existence and to try to work together within a framework of regulation, courtesy, and common sense so that material of scientific value is not lost and undue restrictions are not placed upon collecting. There is a continuing need for collectors and professionals to work together with resource managers and legislators to develop workable laws and rules affecting the collecting of minerals and fossils. This publication contains details information about collecting areas, divided by county to make for ease of use. Each collecting area contains information about the minerals, rocks, or fossils present, map recommendations, and other helpful tips on getting to the sites.

Download or read book The Geology of Goblin Valley State Park written by Mark Milligan and published by Utah Geological Survey. This book was released on 1999-12 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The wonderfully grotesque stone sculptures that are Goblin Valley State Park’s main attraction are the consequence of millions of years of geologic history. Within the park are rocks composed of sediments from ancient seas, shorelines, river channels, and playas. With the passage of time these layers of sand, silt, and clay became deeply buried and transformed to rock. Much later, large-scale tectonic forces uplifted the area and prompted erosion to begin to expose the deeply buried layers of rock. Once the rocks were back on the surface, fractures and variations in hardness within the rocks facilitated carving of the goblins by the erosional power of water, wind, and frost. Understanding the rocks and structures of Goblin Valley State Park requires not only an investigation of past and present events that have acted on a small scale within the park, but of past large-scale tectonic events and processes. This booklet is intended to further your understanding of the formation of the goblins, soils, and surrounding scenery or “how they came to be.”

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shoreline superelevation, the difference between still-water lake elevation and shoreline expressions, reported in this publication shows that shoreline expressions of shallow closed-basin lakes define a surface that is neither essentially horizontal nor a still-water lake elevation.

Download or read book The Gilbert episode in the Great Salt Lake Basin, Utah written by Charles Gifford Oviatt and published by Utah Geological Survey. This book was released on 2014-03-12 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 20-page report summarizes observations of sediments and shorelines of the Gilbert episode in the Bonneville basin of northwestern Utah. Lake Bonneville dropped to altitudes similar to those of modern Great Salt Lake by 13,000 years ago, remained low for about 1400 years, then rapidly rose about 50 ft (15 m) during the Gilbert episode (about 11,600 years ago). The Gilbert lake was probably less extensive than shown by previous mapping of the Gilbert shoreline. The lake reached altitudes of 4250-4255 ft (1295-1297 m), and its shoreline, which is not well defined anywhere in the basin, was probably not deformed by residual isostatic rebound associated with removal of the Lake Bonneville water load. Holocene Great Salt Lake has not risen as high as the Gilbert-episode lake.

This book was released on 1980 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Box Elder County displays a variety of lithologic types in each of the major rock divisions: sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic, in a typical Basin and Range setting. True to the basic structure most of its mountain ranges generally trend north-south, but the Raft River Range trends east-west. Each mountain range exhibits a variety of structural situations: most stratigraphic units are folded and faulted, and many are intruded by igneous rocks. 251 pages + 3 plates

Download or read book The Geology of Quail Creek State Park written by Robert F. Biek and published by Utah Geological Survey. This book was released on 1999 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first thing most visitors to Quail Creek State Park notice, apart from the improbably blue and refreshing waters of the reservoir itself, are the brightly colored, layered rocks of the surrounding cliffs. In fact, Quail Creek State Park lies astride one of the most remarkable geologic features in southwestern Utah. The park lies cradled in the eroded core of the Virgin anticline, a long upwarp of folded rock that trends northeast through south-central Washington County. The fold is breached by erosion along its crest, creating a window into the geologic past.

Download or read book Geological Resources of Salt Lake County, Utah written by Sandra N. Eldredge and published by Utah Geological Survey. This book was released on 1990-06 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This brochure is an introduction to Salt Lake County's geologic resources and the important role they play in our economy and everyday lives. Understanding the dynamic forces that form geologic resources and the factors that influence their development and use helps us realize the value of the earth's natural assets. The resources are divided into three categories: 1) metallic, 2) non-metallic, and 3) energy. Salt Lake County's resources are numerous, therefore only a few of particular significance to the county are discussed in detail. Their origin, mining history, extraction, and common uses are reviewed. The remaining resources and pertinent data are included in Tables 1, 2 and 3. A generalized geologic map, generalized geologic time scale, geologic resource map, and glossary are included for reading aids.
