Show PAPE SIX E OIL IIINTJI! m ME CMPM III Ml M CMM CiKIY AS WELL By STEPHEN W. JOHNSON With the discovery, adjoining Duchesne on the south of the Cline anticline, which covers approximately a hundred thousand acres of land and a favorable-rejxtr- t on this structure of over twenty geologists, many of them of national reputation, a growing interest has been created in oil circles throughout the United States. l'rcjartiuns are now being made fur the starting of test wells as soon as winter breaks. In view of the interest created by the activity of the geologists of the Koval Dutch and Standard Oil and others, the writer has iqieut considerable time in consulting authorities and also in making isquiries of visiting geologists and now ventures to present the following sketch of earth history and geological condition of this section. The Uintah Basin, as we know, is a toograpLical basin bounded by mountainous regions. On the north it is limited hy the Uintah Mountains, on the south hy the Book Cliffs, on the west hy the Wasatch Mountains and on the east hy the Kaugely dome. Morevcr, the Uintah Basin is also a structural basin that is to say, the formations are bent into au enormous broad trough. 8T0&T OF ANTIQUITY Iti the vast region around Duchesne nothing but Tertiary format iona are exposed. However, great thieknese-es of older rocks are exiosed in the Uintah Mountains on the north aud in the Rook Cliffs and the Kan ltafael Swell to the south. It is believed that these older formations are present, although at very great deptha below the surface here. These older formations tell a story, dimmed by antiquity, of long jwriods when the region was completely covered by the oeean, and, what seems still more remarkable, they tell of . even longer jieriods when the sea waa excluded from thia ortion of the earths surface, and the region waa occupied hy vast and terrible desert a that extender throughout Central and Southern Utah into Arixona and New Mexico. Just prior to the Tertiary period the ocean occupied this particular region aa well as a vast area throughout the Rocky Mountain States. During this time the Dakota, Man cos and Meaa Verde formations were deposited. During the Mesa Verde cioch great thicknesses of vegetable matter accumulated, giving rise to the roal that is now mined at Castle Gate, Sunnyside and other places throughout Northern Utah. Interesting as these thing! might lie to the geologist, for us the most interesting jnirtion of the geological history of thia region ia that of the Tertiary period, as it waa during this time that the formations immediately around us were deposited.

MAMMALS After the deposition of the Green river formation there was a period of earth movement, and it is probable that the lake was raised at this time. 'Then a series of rock unlike the Green river formation waa laid down over it. These latter beds consist of a series of red, brown and green sandstone and shales. They are called the Bridger and Uintah formations. Unlike the beds of the Green river, the beds in the Bridger and Uintah formation were land laid, and they contain 1 nines of numerous sjwc-ie- s of land mammals that lived in thia region daring that time. After the deposition o( the Tertiary, earth movement again occurred. The ' lifts bounding the present Uintah Basin was outlined in its present form. In the region of Duchesne the beds involved in the .uplift of the Roan and Book Cliffs underwent a local buckling producing the minor structure that we are now in the Cline habit of referring to as the anticline.'

The climate of the region during this )icriod seems to have bren a climate. Near the margins of the ancient hnsin there were a large accumulation of lmulders and coarse sands, giving rise to conglomerates. The finer sands or inud were spread over the rentral and lower jiarts of the basin by streams. During jsirtions of this time the climate became more humid and small intermittent lakes were formed in which there were accumulations of linie-atone. These conditions ersisted nntil a great thickness of material, varying in different places from two to five thoussnd feet, had accumulated in the basin. At the close of the Wasatch dcismi- -' tion the climate apjieare to have more humid and the . basin became occupied by great inland lakes 'by which another formation was deposited. The materials which uojv constitute thia formation are fine-- grained sandstones, shales, maria and limestones.
