Implications for evaporite tectonism in the Carbondale and Eagle collapse centers of west-central Colorado, based on reprocessed seismic reflection data
William J. Perry Jr., John J. Miller, Robert B. Scott
2002, Special Paper of the Geological Society of America (366) 55-72
Reprocessing of approximately 64 km of seismic reflection data along five seismic lines has led to new interpretations of evaporite tectonism associated with the Pennsylvanian Eagle Valley Evaporite of the central Colorado trough. Evidence of the oldest evaporite tectonism in the region, imaged by the seismic data, occurs in the...
Metal concentrations and sources in the Miller Creek watershed, Park County, Montana, August 2000
