High-calcium Limestone Resources of Utah


Book Description

This project compiles basic information on the most important geologic and infrastructural factors that would be considered when planning a new high-calcium limestone quarry such as: (1) data on existing pits and prospects, (2) chemical analyses of high-calcium limestone, (3) the extent and spatial distribution of geologic formations having good potential for high-calcium limestone production, (4) references for geologic maps covering existing pits and prospects, and analytical data points, (5) locations of transportation corridors, and (6) locations of cement and lime plants, electric power plants, coal mines, and metal smelters that are large consumers of high-calcium limestone.




Coal Resources of the Muley Canyon Sandstone Member of the Mancos Shale Henry Mountains Coalfield, Utah


Book Description

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.







Vertebrate Paleontology in Utah


Book Description

The 52 papers in this vary in content from summaries or state-of-knowledge treatments, to detailed contributions that describe new species. Although the distinction is subtle, the title (Vertebrate Paleontology in Utah) indicates the science of paleontology in the state of Utah, rather than the even more ambitious intent if it were given the title “Vertebrate Paleontology of Utah” which would promise an encyclopedic treatment of the subject. The science of vertebrate paleontology in Utah is robust and intense. It has grown prodigiously in the past decade, and promises to continue to grow indefinitely. This research benefits everyone in the state, through Utah’s muse ums and educational institutions, which are the direct beneficiaries.
