Oil-yield, lithologic, and mineral-distribution data were determined for cores taken from a 152-m drill hole in the upper part of the Parachute Creek member of the Eocene Green River formation. The drill hole, in section 3, T12S, R24E, started just below the contact between the Unita formation and the underlying Green River formation, and ended 10 m below the Mahogany oil shale bed (the richest oil shale bed in the interval examined) in the lower part of the Mahogany zone. Most of the interval studied is composed of kerogen- and carbonate-rich, very fine-grained sediments. Two oil-saturated tuff beds occur approximately 21 m thick at the drill site; the lowermost few feet were not penetrated. The Mahogany zone is covered by 132.6 m of overburden. Fischer assays indicate that 12.9 m of oil shale within the Mahogany zone could yield at least 25 gallon of oil/ton (104.3 l/metric ton) from beds at least 3 m thick.
