Show University Publishes Geology Bulletins An unusual House Range formation for-mation in Millard county and the Oquirrh Formation of northern Utah are the subjects of two bulletins bul-letins just published by the University Uni-versity of Utah. The bulletins originally were written as master's theses for other universities the University Univer-sity of Nebraska and Cornell University. The Utah Geological and Min-eralogical Min-eralogical Survey, affiliated with the University of Utah College of Mines and Mineral Industries sponsored their publication. Harry Merrill Gehman Jr., son of adistinguished mathematician, authored the study of "Notch Peak Intrusive" in the House Range for his MS degree at Cor nell. In a foreward to the study, Arthur L. Crawford, director of the Utah Geological and Miner-alogical Miner-alogical Survey said, "Seldom can one find in so neat an area the geologic record of such a variety of processes generated by a single intrusive body." Of "The Oquirrh Formation" bulletin, authored by Paul W. Nygreen as his MS thesis at the University of Nebraska, Mr. Crawford said, "The Survey is fortunate to secure this valuable contribution to the stratigraphy of such a scientifically and economically eco-nomically strategic region in the heart of Utah, adjacent to our most productive mining area." Mr. Nygreen is now employed by Standard Oil Co. of Texas. Mr. Gehman is with the research' staff of the Carter Oil Co. at Tulsa. |
