Surface Indications of Gilsonite Veins in Uintah Region
The article surveys gilsonite or Gilsonite veins in the Uintah area, describing their geometry, extent, and possible origins. It notes veins up to sixteen feet wide extending for miles, possible under eroded Upper Uintah beds, and estimates about 32,000,000 tons of gilsonite implying vast petroleum potential. It discusses theories of formation, including underground pressure and surface expulsion, and outlines major vein groups such as Bonanza and Duchesne. The piece signals ongoing investigations and invites corrections.
