10 Depositional environments of oil shale in the Green River Formation, Douglas Creek Arch, Colorado and Utah1985depositional environments; oil shale; Green River Formation; Douglas Creek Arch; stratigraphyDouglas Creek arch in western Colorado and eastern Utah separates the Uinta and Piceance Creek basins. During deposition of the lower part of the Eocene Green River Formation, the arch provided a physical barrier dividing ancient Lake Uinta into two segments. As the lake expanded, the arch became a ...

13 Hypotheses of oil-shale genesis, Green River Formation, northeast Utah, northwest Colorado, and southwest Wyoming1985oil shale; Green River Formation; tar sandstoneIn the six decades or so of oil-shale studies on the Green River Formation (Paleocene/Eocene) in northeast Utah, northwest Colorado, and southwest Wyoming, two alternative hypotheses for the paleoenvironment have dominated the literature: (1) a stratified lake in which anaerobic conditions in the hy...
14 Interpretation of fischer assay data for the evaluation of analcime-bearing oil shale in the Green River Formation, Colorado and Utah1975fischer assay data; analcime-bearing oil shale; Green River Formation; potential oil yeild of sedimentsUsing Fischer assay data, an empirical method has been devised for distinguishing analcime-rich oil shale from oil shale which is essentially free of analcime in the Parachute Creek Member, Green River Formation, Colorado and Utah. This method permits evaluation of Fischer assay data in order to com...
