Bibliography of the geology of the Green River Formation, Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming, to March 1, 1973
The Green River Formation in NW. Colorado, NE. Utah, and SW. Wyoming contains thick and extensive deposits of oil shale. The richest oil-shale deposits underlie an area of 12,000 sq km (5,000 sq miles) in the Piceance Creek and Uinta basins in NW. Colorado and NW. Utah. Cashion and Donnel reported that these basins contain about 105 billion metric tons of oil in beds which are more than 4.6 m thick and which contain an average of 5.7% of oil by wt. This bibliography, which contains 597 references, was compiled to aid studies on the geology and resources of the Green River Formation. References included are mainly on the areal geology, stratigraphy, paleontology, geochemistry, and mineralogy of the Green River Formation, but some concern exploitation of the oil-shale deposits.
