Measured stratigraphic sections of Jurassic San Rafael Group and adjacent rocks in Emery and Sevier counties, Utah

These sections were measured prior to 1960, before adoption of the metric system. Publication was delayed by other assignments of the authors and later by the untimely death of J. C. Wright. They are being released at this time because of the increased interest in the uranium potential of Jurassic rocks. The Curtis, Summerville, Entrada, and Carmel Formations are the formations of the San Rafael Group in these sections.

Lithologic and geophysical logs of holes drilled in the Willow Springs Quadrangle, Emery and Sevier counties, Utah

Eight holes were drilled in that part of T. 24 S., R. 5 E. which is in the Willow Springs 7 1/2-minute quadrangle, Emery and Sevier Counties, Utah (fig. 1). This drilling was done from June 15 to July 14, 1977, to obtain information on the thickness and extent of coal in the Cretaceous Ferron Sandstone Member of the Mancos Shale and on the lithology of the enclosing rocks. The overall goal of the project is evaluation and classification of federally owned coal resources and lands in the Emery coal field.
