About This Publication
PDF only, 172pp. This publication derived from a three-day field conference in 1960 in the Moab, UT area and contains 26 papers and 3 road logs. The papers are divided into general background (7), structure (3), stratigraphy (7), economics (3) and oil & gas (6). The first day road log starts in Moab, traverses Spanish, Lisbon and Gypsum valleys ending at a campsite on Monogram Mesa. On the second day participants explored Paradox valley and then climbed up the Uncompahgre plateau for the view, ending at a campsite near Roc Creek. On the third day they took a side trip to Sinbad Valley Anticline, then to Gateway and Unaweep Canyon, up John Brown Canyon to the La Sal Mountains and back to Moab.
