State Geologist J. A. Leonard led a field party across Billings and Pembina Cavalier counties to map coal seams and study fossil remains. Twenty one beds in Billings County show 4 to 36 feet thickness over 1000 feet of strata, with areas up to 900 square miles. eastern districts split into Red River valley Pembina mountains and Cavalier prairie. Fossil reptile bones found near Mar Roth boost age estimates of local strata as a key to dating formations. Gas well data in Bottineau and nearby shows shallow gas bearing sands with potential high output. prospecting continues alongside regional geological mapping and resource assessments.
